What Is Yoo Jae-suk’s Net Worth? His Response to “Trillion-Won” Rumors: “Start Investing Early”

Yoo Jae-suk, Korea’s beloved “Nation’s MC,” set the record straight on rumors about his wealth — and gave some real talk about financial planning along the way.

On the March 27 broadcast of tvN’s Sixth Sense: City Tour, Yoo joined castmates for a day trip to Yangpyeong. During a lighthearted moment, Oh My Girl’s Mimi asked about the rising land prices in the area. “How’s the land market these days? I heard it’s going up,” she said, sparking laughter. Yoo playfully replied, “Are you here to scout property?”

Comedian Song Eun-i added, “Mimi’s been really into site visits lately,” while actor Go Kyung-pyo quipped, “You look like a rich housewife shopping for land.”

The conversation naturally shifted to real estate and financial planning. Yoo Jae-suk took the opportunity to share a bit of wisdom with his younger colleagues. “This is exactly the time in your life when you should start thinking about investing,” he said. “The earlier you start, the better. Make plans for your future. Eun-i and I didn’t do it early enough, so you guys really should.”

That’s when Song Eun-i jokingly called him out: “Easy for a man worth trillions to say!” Go Kyung-pyo piled on, saying, “Are you sure your name’s not Yoo Trillionaire?” Yoo burst out laughing and clarified, “I wish I had that kind of money!”

The self-deprecating humor reminded viewers why Yoo Jae-suk has long been one of Korea’s most trusted and beloved entertainers.

In the preview for Episode 7 of Sixth Sense: City Tour, the cast heads to Incheon to explore a new lineup of suspiciously quirky hotspots. Described as “ultra-fast, ultra-weird, and ultra-inviting,” the featured places raise everyone’s fake radar to high alert. The cast members, including Yoo Jae-suk, Oh Na-ra, Mimi, and Go Kyung-pyo, are more suspicious than ever, questioning every strange detail as they try to uncover the fake among the real. The teaser promises chaotic guessing, hilarious reactions, and unexpected twists — all set against the backdrop of Incheon’s trendiest (and oddest) locations.

Yoo Jae-suk is a veteran comedian and host who debuted in 1991 and quickly rose to fame for his quick wit, humility, and strong rapport with guests and co-hosts. Often called the “Nation’s MC,” he has headlined some of the most iconic Korean variety shows, including Infinite Challenge, Running Man, and Happy Together. Born in 1972 and a graduate of the Seoul Institute of the Arts, Yoo has built a reputation for being both approachable and professional — a rare combination that has kept him at the top for over three decades.
