On the latest episode of 'Happy Together,' the cast poked fun at writer and comedian Yoo Byung Jae a little too enthusiastically now that he was a 'real celebrity' after joining YG Entertainment.

Yoo Jae Suk wisecracked, "Are you thoroughly playing the part of celebrity now?" to which Yoo Byung Jae half-seriously half-jokingly answered, "Not at all. [At YG] I don't want to appear that way; I plan to continue content planning as I always did. YG really called me out of the blue. I've always been a YG stan. I'm an old fan, and my manager hyung and I have liked them since we were young. In the car, we would always say Big Bang songs are really awesome and I even parodied 'Loser'; that's when I got the suggestion to [join YG]. I was so excited."

Kim Shin Young also put in, "There was an article that you've lost your B-list celeb status," which Yoo Byung Jae admitted by saying, "It's true. I think it's nonsense that I'm poor."


The comedian chattered about the 'perks' that came with joining YG, remarking, "The ride I was provided with is Akdong Musician's car. They never told me but it's the car that Akdong Musician rode during the festival. I couldn't remove their sticker. I haven't yet gone to the 50 pyong (1,779 sq ft) apartment. It's not like they bought it [specifically] for me," showing gratitude to Papa YG for the comfy living space.
