'Chef Heyoungman’s Dining Tour'
On the 25th, the TV CHOSUN program 'Chef Heyoungman’s Dining Tour' (hereinafter 'Dining Tour') featured the main character of the drama 'The Haunted Palace', Yook Sungjae, heading to Chuncheon.
That day, Heyoungman asked, 'Did you always think about singing from the beginning?' Yook Sungjae recalled, 'I loved going to karaoke without restraint since I was in elementary school, so I used to skip school and go to karaoke, saying, 'Then I will become a singer.'
'When I started auditioning for the public recruitment, my father said, 'Try going to an audition once. If experts think you'll be eliminated, then you don't have the talent for this and should think about something else.' But, fortunately, I passed on my first try,' he noted.
Thus, Yook Sungjae became a 13-year veteran singer with BTOB and also transformed into an actor. Yook Sungjae stated, 'Acting wasn't actually the direction I wanted or pursued. In fact, auditions for acting in idol entertainment are held all the time, and you never know how someone will succeed, so I also went to those.'
'Before I knew it, when I was cast in the work 'Who Are You - School 2015', I started to enjoy my performance because there were people who liked my appearance, and it feels like that's why I keep doing it.'
Meanwhile, Heyoungman asked, 'Isn't there some talent required for singing? What’s the secret to your vocal ability and good looks?' To this, Yook Sungjae mentioned his father regarding his looks. At the same time, a photo of his father was revealed, drawing attention.
Yook Sungjae said, 'My father always tells me to be thankful. 'When I was your age, I was much better looking than you. Since I gave you good genes, always live with a grateful heart.' I can acknowledge that. My father is very handsome.'
'But it’s really strange that neither side of my family has the talent to be a singer. I'm curious where the singer's genes came from.'
