Broadcaster Yoo Jae-suk apologized through the filming site of his return after canceling a recording for the first time in 35 years since his debut.

SBS’s ‘If There’s a Gap’ released a preview video for next week’s broadcast at the end of its episode aired on the 13th. The episode scheduled to air on the 20th is a re-filmed version, as the originally planned filming was canceled due to Yoo Jae-suk’s poor physical condition, and the schedule was readjusted accordingly.

At the time, Yoo Jae-suk’s agency Antena stated, “Yoo Jae-suk had to cancel the recording unavoidably due to temporary high fever symptoms caused by a cold and flu,” adding, “He is currently focusing on recovery, and we have asked for understanding from those involved while coordinating a re-filming schedule.”

During the re-filming, Yoo Jae-suk said, “The news articles were saying things like ‘in 36 years’ and ‘collapsed,’” adding, “That’s not true. It was just a sore throat.”

He continued, “My throat was so swollen that I thought it might be COVID-19. If it were, shouldn’t we avoid meeting people?” He added, “I got an injection, which reduced the swelling in my throat, and I wondered if we couldn’t just re-record, but they told me, ‘Hyung, the production team all ate and left.’”

Yoo Jae-suk met with the applicants for ‘If There’s a Gap’ and apologized, saying “I’m sorry,” and also conveyed to guests Shin Seung-ho and Chae Soobin, “Thank you for taking out your precious time again.”

This is the first time Yoo Jae-suk has canceled a recording on the day of filming due to health reasons since his debut at the 1st KBS University Gag Festival in 1991.

Yoo Jae-suk is currently appearing in ‘If There’s a Gap,’ as well as KBS 2TV’s ‘Happy Together – It’s Good Not to Be Alone,’ MBC’s ‘What’s Going On?’, tvN’s ‘You Quiz on the Block,’ and ‘Sixth Sense: B-Side.’
