'Ok-mun-a' shared an anecdote where Yang Sang-guk surpassed the popularity of 'National MC' Yoo Jae-suk.
In the episode of KBS 2TV's variety program 'Problem Children in the Attic' (hereinafter 'Ok-mun-a') aired on the 21st, 'MZ icon' VIVIZ and 'country bumpkin icon' Yang Sang-guk appeared as guests.

That day, Yang Sang-guk was asked whether he was more popular than Yoo Jae-suk in his hometown of Jin-young-eup, Gimhae-si, Gyeongsangnam-do. In response, Joo Woo-jae said, "I saw that. If you enter Jin-young-eup, it's Yang Sang-guk Village."
Kim Jong-kook asked, "Did you go with Hyung Jae-suk?" and Joo Woo-jae confirmed, eliciting surprise. Yang Sang-guk explained, "Even so, when senior Yoo Jae-suk moves around the Republic of Korea, everyone calls him 'Mr. Yoo Jae-suk' wherever he goes, but only in Jin-young do they call out 'Sang-guk-ah!'"
Yang Sang-guk added, "There is a unique fence among us in Jin-young. Since a celebrity came out from there, local people have supported him a lot."
