Comedian Yang Sang-guk has shared his feelings following a recent controversy regarding his attitude.
In an episode of TV Chosun's "Lovers of Joseon" aired on June 1, Yang met with his colleague Park Young-jin.
During their conversation, Park said, "I haven't had that experience, so I don't know what advice to give, but I thought, 'Yang Sang-guk must be blaming himself.'"
Yang responded, "This is my first experience like this. It's the first time I've received this much love and this much criticism. It would be a lie to say it's not hard." He added, "I used to think that I had to be proactive on air to survive. In my eagerness to make people laugh, I acted excessively and made mistakes in the process. Now, I have many thoughts about how to maintain a certain line."
Kim Gook-jin, who was watching from the studio, encouraged him, saying, "Through such processes, you’re not just maintaining the line but expanding it."
Previously, on May 2, during a segment on the YouTube channel "Tteun Tteun," Nam Chang-hee mentioned, "I see my wife off every day because we are newlyweds." Yang replied, "That's a risky behavior. Men from Seoul tend to do that. They always take their dates home, but I've never taken my girlfriend home."
Yoo Jae-suk chimed in, saying, "Even if it's not every day, wouldn't it be good to take your girlfriend home sometimes? If you love her, don't you want to spend more time together?"
However, Yang disagreed, stating, "I usually listen to what you say, but I don't think this is right. I'm someone who dreams of marriage. It's not the age for kids to be dating." He also remarked that after several attempts by Yoo to persuade him, he said, "Yoo Jae-suk, if you say it one more time, I will get angry," which sparked controversy.
