Comedian Jang Dong-min cried on a TV show as he recalled how famous MC Yoo Jae-suk helping him.

“I was drinking because I had a difficult time with my job,” Jang said on JTBC’s “Salon de Raison.”

“I called Yoo because he was called ‘MC of the nation,’ and told him everything that was troubling me.”

Jang said Yoo did not give any special advice at that time, but paid attention to his story.

“I stood up from my seat and told him that I would go,” Jang said. “Yoo stopped a taxi for me and gave me all the money in his wallet.

“Ever since I met Yoo, I have changed my attitude to broadcasting. Things have also worked out well. He changed my life.”
