Unpopular Celebrities Shine in 'Insa-mo' Segment of 'Hangout with Yoo'

On November 8, 2025, the popular Korean variety program 'Hangout with Yoo' aired an episode featuring the debut of a new segment called 'Insa-mo,' a gathering of famous yet unpopular celebrities. This new project was introduced to fill the void left by the departure of actor Lee Yi-kyung, who had worked with the show for over three years.

Prior to the broadcast, the show's hosts, Yoo Jae-suk, Ha Ha, and Joo Woo-jae, expressed regret over Lee Yi-kyung's exit, stating that she had to leave due to her busy schedule with dramas and movies. They encouraged viewers to support Lee Yi-kyung in her future endeavors.

The 'Insa-mo' general meeting included nine members: host Ha Ha, senior actor Kim Gwang-kyu, actors Han Sang-jin, Heo Sung-tae, Hyun Bong-sik, broadcaster Jung Joon-ha, comedian Heo Kyung-hwan, former sumo wrestler Choi Hong-man, and Epik High's Tablo. During a popularity vote conducted with 120 participants, Kim Gwang-kyu topped the list, while Tablo placed last, surprising many despite his sizable YouTube following.
