Roo Jae Suk in his rookie period

Even if I may spend my whole life Neither of them can become a big star, but I have been loved by many people because I have worked hard to live without regrets. Even if I do become popular and become a star, I will never forget these hard moments, and I will try my best not to change my life.

In an interview with Cosmopolitan

I think the most important thing is whether the path towards the goal is correct. Speed ??is not important. I just want to go where I can go now. , I walk at the speed I want. If I don’t have the strength now, then I will walk. Until I have the strength to run, I want to keep walking like this.

(In the Cosmopolitan Interview)

While I was going back and forth to Broadcasting 3 Company, I was doing challenges with the members who were somewhat deficient, so someone asked Do I have too much hate? But rather than hate, I just want to convey the fact that it doesn’t need too much, as long as you pay a little attention and give some water, then the flowers will bloom.

It really doesn’t need too much, as long as you don’t trample it when you pass by, it will bloom even if you leave it alone. I want to present this fact. "Yes, that's right, we still have many shortcomings. We are still far away and not good enough. It doesn't matter if you don't care about us so much. As long as you don't trample on us, then we can bloom." I want to present this idea.

Unknown origin

Although there are many people applauding me now, it will be different one day. I work hard every day to delay the arrival of that day, and I will continue to work hard in the future, but some things are unpredictable. But I’m trying to learn to be okay with it. If the new junior MCs appear, I will sincerely applaud them. And when my role becomes smaller, I will work hard for that small role. If the time comes when even this is no longer allowed, I will watch the program quietly at home with my family and applaud silently. —Yoo Jae Suk

Infinite Challenge E300

As long as I don’t give up what I like, I can’t have both. In fact, we are getting older and older, and our physical strength is getting worse every year... If we don't prepare in advance, we won't be able to do the same thing tomorrow as we did last year. It's the same with cigarettes. The longer time goes by, sometimes I can't breathe and it's a bit laborious. When performing a show, if someone is running in front of me, if I want to make it more thrilling, I have to be able to catch that person in a thrilling way.

I have no choice, even if I like smoking, I have to quit. The reason is very simple, you can't have them all, you have to give up something. Really... We have made up our mind several times and said it many times. For us, this time is really a time that will never come back again. We really cannot forget it. Therefore, there is only one way to live a serious life every day.

Infinite Challenge E359?

If I want my friends to like me, I have to like my friends first. I thought about it for a while, and the more I slept, the sleepier I became, and the more I cursed, the better I got at it. I first approached my friends and asked them what they cared about and what made them happy.

If you want the other person to like playing, you have to understand his heart, understand what he wants, and get used to listening. How can he not like you?

If I love someone, even if that person doesn’t love me as much as I love him, I will devote myself wholeheartedly without regrets and have no regrets about the path I chose. I feel that no matter what happens, It can be done.

Infinite Challenge E377

The real crisis is not knowing that you are in crisis. The bigger crisis is knowing it is a crisis but not taking action!

Infinite Challenge E401

One out of ten may be bad, just think about the nine good ones and live a happy life. . How can all ten be good? There is no such life.

What I said to Song Ji Hyo

Everything in front of the camera can be forgiven, but doing that away from the camera is unacceptable.

12

What Yoo Jae Suk said to Jung Hyung Don

How can people who have never been injured bring happiness to others? It is because they have been injured that they can see others You can touch the hearts of others only by seeing the pain.

Do you think anyone can become a star? (Quietly) But that doesn't mean you can't.

Infinite Challenge E186

Every time before going to bed, I really pray sincerely, if you really give me a chance, just once, If I have the opportunity to become Gagman, then when my wish comes true, if I think differently than now, forget my original intention, and think that all this is because of my own good work, even if it only happens once Even if I suffer more pain than anyone else in the world, I will never say, "Why are you so harsh on me?"

14

Unknown origin (very early, before 05)

There are three things that I try to stay away from now. The first is wine, the second is cigarettes, and the third is women. Drinking is a waste of money, so I don’t like it. Everyone knows that smoking is bad for health, so they don’t like it either. The last woman is because, if she is not the person she really loves, she will try not to get close to her. Because "Isn't the most painful thing in the world causing harm to people's souls?"

15

A series of short sentences of unknown origin

Things that should not be said in front of others should not be said behind their backs either.

Listen more and speak less. The more you listen, the more people will be on my side.

The higher your voice, the more it distorts your original meaning.

Sincerity can touch people's hearts more than sweet words.

Instead of saying what you want to say, say what the other person is willing to hear.

Rather than bragging endlessly, let’s say something that can entertain the public.

Speaking depends not only on your tongue and mouth, but more importantly on your eyes and expressions when you speak.

A sentence only lasts for 30 seconds on the lips, but can last for 30 years in a person's heart. Maybe it's just a word, but it can change a person's life.

Although I can control my tongue, sometimes I have to surrender to the words I speak.

It doesn’t matter what kind of choice you make, what matters is your actions after making the choice.

2005 KBS Entertainment Awards Acceptance Speech

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the viewers who made my dream of becoming Gagman come true. I have too much compared to my efforts.

17

Individual interview after the 2013 Baeksang Arts Awards

That’s my 20s. If you just want to play, just have fun and play. Play guitar or go dancing, no matter what you do, if you do it enthusiastically, you will have no regrets. If you ask me what I regret most when I was in my 20s, it would be that I did nothing, it was meaningless. I spent that time in a daze, and almost most of the time was wasted. It was really a pity that time had no goal, just blaming others and scolding others for how they spent their time. ”

Q: Do you have the obsessive idea of ??keeping your current position?

“Well... To be honest, I didn’t expect it to be so popular. I thought if I could be asked for autographs when I went out, I would be really happy. was successful enough, but is this really a reality now? At this time, I only think about one thing, which is what to do this week to be interesting. The same is true for charm. I can’t do anything. What's the use of thinking about things that are so complicated? ”

Q: When do you think the heyday is over? Has it passed? Or is it now? Or has it not come yet?

“I hope it hasn’t come yet (laughing), if it can come to an end.” It would be nice if those days were all in their heyday, but it seems impossible. One day I will not hear the words "Yoo Jae Suk has also left." I have been preparing in my heart, so if I really have to face that In an instant, I should not be so panicked, and I will make up my mind to do my best until the day I am allowed to do it, and I will not feel afraid... Of course, I will occasionally think of this day, have I really ever had such a period, etc. When my son grows up and tells him, 'I used to be very popular,' will he really believe it?"

ELLE interview

Fans' love... ?

I have received so much love that I don’t know if I can pay it all back in this life. I feel very grateful, so I will try my best no matter what.

Passion and hard work for "Infinite Challenge"...?

It has been 8 years. Although it has been mentioned several times in the program, in fact, when I first started doing "Infinite Challenge", I did not expect that I would reach this point. To be honest, I started out doubting, 'Are we going to do this? Can this really be done?', but even though it wasn't perfect, when we actually did it, not only me, but also the members were all surprised. To be honest, Yes, I am really grateful to for making me more like a human being. When I do those things that I have to do either voluntarily or voluntarily, as time goes by and the years accumulate, I I also unconsciously feel that I can do things that exceed my boundaries.

Qualifications for leadership...?

Including , I think my program is. I don't set who is the leader, but I will do it when there is a need for a leadership role. If someone else takes the leadership role, then I will support them from behind. I think it is not just me, but also the members of the show. It's because each has a sense of responsibility and works hard that we can reach this point together.

Try your best and be happy...?

The reason why I have to do my best is because I want to bring laughter to many people. The more people I can bring laughter to, the more I will I feel happier. This includes me. All entertainment performers think so. I hope to be a person who brings happiness to many people for a long time. In this way, I will also feel happy.

2014...?

Everything has changed so fast. Just like this year we have been worrying about what can bring joy in that change, next year should be the same I am troubled, even though I don’t know how long I can stay in my current position, but just thinking about it makes me happy. ?

Interview in 1999

After carefully thinking about what laughter is, it is actually a magical physiological phenomenon. It is quite magical to make others laugh. It is a mystery that cannot be solved, but the fact that is certain is that living with a smile can lead to a younger life.

When people frown, they use 43 muscles, but when they smile, they only use 18, so there won’t be so many wrinkles on your face if you live with a smile (everyone, please live with a smile too!)

The joy I feel when I make others laugh is more valuable than anything else. (If you feel joy when people cry, then it’s worth thinking about whether it’s a perversion to scare yourself.) It’s like the feeling you feel when you climb to the top of the mountain sweating and shouting to the horizon.

I am satisfied with the feeling I feel in this process. When I meet people on the street, I am also very happy that someone recognizes me and likes me. But if I don’t keep working hard, they may The fact that I will be forgotten also makes me uneasy, but still happy.

People are like animals in the environment. As life becomes busy, they seem to forget the hard life in the past. This sometimes makes me feel regretful,

I have not thought about it deeply. Even when I am forced to show my face everywhere due to the schedule, I will feel hurt.

I will bear in mind the fact that if you don’t paddle on the flowing water, you will fall backwards, and I will strive to become someone who can be remembered for a long time. The best people working hard.
