It has been revealed that the MBC entertainment program 'Hangout With Yoo' will undergo cast changes due to low viewer ratings.
According to Sports Seoul, on May 9, 'Hangout With Yoo' will be changing cast members for the new season. According to the report, most of the main cast members will leave the show except Yoo Jae Suk, Haha, and Lee Mi Joo.

'Hangout With Yoo' received much attention and popularity when it was first broadcast as it was revealed that producer Kim Tae Ho who created 'Infinite Challenge,' would direct the entertainment program. However, producer Kim Tae Ho withdrew from the show in January.
'Hangout With Yoo' brought about various projects in the field of music, such as MSG Wannabe and WSG Wannabe but failed to garner its initial popularity. The viewer rating remained at 4%, according to Neilsen Korea.
the show lost its originality after Kim Tae Ho PD left. It merely depend on Yoo Jae Suk popularity to keep the show alive until now. But there is still the limit, if the show concept idea is not interesting anymore. Originally the show is about YJS challenge himself alone with all sort of thing, that makes it funny, now i not sure what the show is about.
