'Full View' highlighted the brilliant present of comedian Yoo Young-woo and singer Choi Ye-na, a former member of IZ*ONE, who finally reached their prime after persistently forging their own path.

In the episode of MBC's 'Full View' (hereinafter 'Full View'), No. 416, which aired on the night of the 19th, 'singer-comedian' Yoo Young-woo appeared as a guest. The broadcast recorded a nationwide viewership rating of 1.2%, ranking first among entertainment programs in its time slot. Meanwhile, scenes featuring another guest, Choi Ye-na, and actress Kim Min-ju, who also performed together with IZ*ONE, visiting 'Ye-na House' soared to a peak local viewership rating of 3.2% in the Bundang district, capturing viewers' attention (provided by Nielsen Korea).

First, Yoo Young-woo dreamed of becoming a comedian since elementary school. After going through life with a theater troupe and enrolling in a university comedy department, he debuted on KBS 2TV's 'Gag Concert' in 2019. However, recently he has drawn attention with his absolute pitch and overwhelming vocal ability that have stunned several top singers. He recently reverse-chaired DK's song 'Don't Be Happy.' In response, singer Park Jae-jung admitted, "I lost. Just be a singer."

His schedule, once only one or two per month, has increased more than tenfold. While his comedy videos had around 50,000 to 60,000 views, his song videos have far exceeded several million views. Thus, Yoo Young-woo's day begins with various throat care routines, including Krasa massage, dandelion root juice, and dandelion candy consumption.

Although he gained attention for his natural talent, behind it lay the diligence of 'Thrifty Yoo.' After returning from military service, he resolved to get his life together amid a financially strained household, developing ingrained habits of frugality. He managed each meal for under 5,000 won and handled hair and makeup, video editing, and clothing repairs himself. "I've never bought coffee, and I only recently took a taxi for the first time," he said. He found joy in 'super hunting' across multiple supermarkets, discovering even slightly cheaper products. Although 'Gag Concert' was canceled shortly after his debut, he never abandoned comedy, continuing with events, children's programs, and YouTube content. The result of working hard while eating little and spending less has led him to a brilliant present.

Yet, this same person flexed by spending a whopping 510,000 won on a Hanwoo beef set. It was to give Chuseok gifts to fellow comedian Lee Sun-min, whom he considers a lifelong benefactor, and to 'Full View' family member Lysanne Won. In the past, the three recorded content together, openly sharing their honest thoughts: "When will my day come?" They were close friends who understood each other's struggles better than anyone else. Those who knew those times best cheered for each other's active activities with sincere tears. This was why Yoo Young-woo became emotional on the broadcast when he saw Lee Sun-min, who attended as an award presenter at the Korea Broadcasting Awards, and Lysanne, who appeared on stage to celebrate. From days when no one recognized them until they finally succeeded by never giving up, viewers also cheered for their brighter tomorrows in this growth story that was finally completed.

The daily life of Choi Ye-na, who transformed from an all-rounder member of girl group IZ*ONE into an iconic solo artist, continued. She swept the nation with the 'Catch Catch' craze, triggering a massive hit challenge with her point choreography created in just five seconds. Currently, she has about 20 scheduled projects lined up.

However, even the 'trendiest of trends' becomes a cute 'elementary schooler'-like girl at home. In Ye-na House, filled with anime figures and dolls, Choi Ye-na argued with her mother over throwing away her stuffed animal. When her mother passed away, she invited her best friend Kim Min-ju to her home. The two, who meet as close neighbors two or three times a week, enjoyed everything from junk food mukbangs that would make their mother faint to guessing snack names and various games. Their cheerful 'true friend chemistry,' which has continued since their IZ*ONE activities, brought laughter.

But when working, she transforms into a professional idol. In company meetings, she analyzed good responses and disappointing results using self-prepared PPTs like an 'error notebook.' Scenes that sparked major buzz, such as her appearance at the Blue Dragon Series Awards and wearing a full-body suit at Waterbomb, also originated from her ideas. This was her unique 'Ye-na Core,' which she perfected by turning trial and error into consistent research.

Finally, Choi Ye-na entered an indoor sports arena for her first encore concert. With fans of all generations, from babies to middle-aged adults, filling the audience under their fandom name 'Jigumi,' she performed a diverse setlist ranging from 'Catch Catch' and 'Nemo Nemo' stages to a new song remixed with Now Young-ah: Block B's 'Rare Girl.' Shedding tears while singing the final track 'Smiley,' she promised to become not a bestseller that shines briefly and disappears, but a steady seller that people continue to seek even after time passes.

Yoo Young-woo said, "I thought my prime would never come," while Choi Ye-na expressed anxiety: "I was worried about whether I could be loved for a long time as a solo singer." Both endured difficult times without losing their sincerity toward singing and the stage, finally reaching the moment they had longed for. Their respective primes, achieved on different paths, along with their bright smiles, adorned a happy page of 'Full View.'

Meanwhile, in the next episode, top comedian Kwak Beom, rising as the 'Jae-suk of YouTube,' and 'Rich Unnie' Park Se-ri will appear. Kwak Beom's tightly packed day, managing eight fixed programs alone and filming three to four daily, will be revealed. Following that, Park Se-ri will host a 'big spender'-style house party at her recently moved townhouse and spend an evening filled with warmth by watching fireworks with her hardworking managers on the rooftop of 63 Building.

'Full View' airs every Saturday night at 11:10 PM on MBC.
