Comedian Yang Sang-guk is once again under fire for his attitude during a recent broadcast.
In the latest episode of tvN's "Amazing Saturday," Yang appeared in his alter ego character, Sang-pil. When fellow cast member Kim Hae-jun mentioned a two-letter initial hint, Yang insisted on sticking to a one-letter hint. He stated, "I think one letter would be fine. Two initials seem too easy, and one letter might spark more conversation." Kim Hae-jun responded, "Wouldn't two initials be a bit easier?" However, Yang raised his voice, saying, "Go to YouTube, then. That would make the show boring."
Yang then abruptly changed his stance, saying, "I suggested the initials, didn't I?" which angered Kim Hae-jun.
During a second attempt, when Kim Dong-hyun offered a different opinion, Yang retorted, "You just saw 'A.' You're foolish," adding, "Foolish people with pride are the scariest. If you're foolish, you should be kind. Those kinds of people are the most frightening." This comment shocked viewers.
Additionally, Yang was seen pretending to hit fellow comedian Kim Hae-jun and even attempted to kick him, further escalating the situation.
Following the broadcast, numerous posts criticizing Yang's behavior flooded an online community.
Netizens commented, "If he wants to return to the spotlight, shouldn't he hide his poor character? I felt uncomfortable watching him being rude throughout the show," and "If this is targeting people who enjoy that kind of behavior, he should stick to YouTube." Other comments included, "Why does he keep appearing? Is there demand for him? It's really exhausting," and "A character that gets angry like that should maintain some level of decency, but it seems he doesn't." Many expressed a desire to see him disappear from television, with comments like, "I hope he disappears from TV" and "He should not come back."
Comments on the program's YouTube channel also reflected this sentiment, with remarks such as, "Why is there so much annoyance and anger in weekend entertainment? Is something wrong?" and "He's digging his own grave." Others questioned, "Why was he invited?" and criticized his style of humor, saying, "Making jokes at the expense of others is the worst; please don't come back," and "He's the worst guest. It's hard to listen to someone who keeps getting angry." Many speculated that he might not be invited back to the network again.
