On May 3, a social media user wrote on Yang’s SNS that the comment section for 'Pinggyego' was “in an uproar” over how he addressed Yoo Jae-suk and over his views on dating as a “Gyeongsang-do man,” adding, “I want to keep watching you. I think you should go into humble mode.”
Yang replied, “Yes. I’ll be more careful going forward.”
The controversy followed an episode of 'Pinggyego' posted May 2 on the YouTube channel 'DdeunDdeun,' in which Yang appeared with Han Sang-jin and Nam Chang-hee.
During the show, Nam said he is newly married and sees his wife off every day. Yang responded, “That’s dangerous. Seoul men are good at that. When they date, they take them home every time, but I’ve never taken a girlfriend home.”
Yoo advised that even if not every day, it would be good to take a girlfriend home sometimes, saying it reflects wanting to spend more time together because you love the person.
Yang pushed back, saying, “I usually listen to senior Yoo Jae-suk, but I don’t think so on this. I’m someone who dreams of marriage. I’m not at the age for kids’ dating.”
Even after Yoo tried several times to persuade him, Yang said, “Mr. Yoo Jae-suk, if you say it one more time, I’ll scold you.” Watching the exchange, Han reacted, “It won’t be easy to make him a regular.”
