'National MC' Yoo Jae-sok (54) returned to the filming set just one day after sharing news of his health issues.

The production team of tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' (hereinafter 'You Quiz') shared behind-the-scenes photos from the ongoing recording session on its official SNS on the morning of the 23rd. They stated, "Captured live at the 'You Quiz' filming site," and added an explanation: "First reveal of the face of the 'White Porcelain Kettle Shaped Like a Carp,' which was the target of the National Museum of Korea's costume play event." Jeon Eun-seul, who won the award for her portrayal of the 'White Porcelain Kettle Shaped Like a Carp' at the '2026 National Museum of Korea Costume Play' held on the 19th, participated as a guest.

The released photo shows MC Yoo Jae-sok welcoming Jeon Eun-seul with a bright smile. However, since he had to cancel his recording schedule for SBS's 'Whenever I Can' on the day of filming due to high fever symptoms on the 22nd, his somewhat gaunt face raised concerns among fans.

Yoo Jae-sok's decision to cancel the recording on the day was unprecedented since his debut in the entertainment industry through the first KBS University Comedy Festival in 1991. Nevertheless, he resumed activities just one day later, once again demonstrating the remarkable diligence and sense of responsibility befitting a 'National MC.'

Earlier, on the 22nd, Yoo Jae-sok's agency Antenna issued an official statement: "Yoo Jae-sok experienced temporary high fever symptoms due to a cold and body aches, making it unavoidable to cancel the recording for 'Whenever I Can.' He is currently focusing on recovery. We have sought understanding from all relevant parties and are coordinating rescheduling."
