Wikitree reported on March 22 that a rumor had been circulating on online communities regarding Mr. Sunshine and The Interest of Love actor Yoo Yeon Seok. According to the post in the online community, the actor had once disrespected their father who worked as a security guard in the actor’s apartment building at the time. As a result, the father quit his job in the same month and came to dislike the actor.
What Happened?
The post further told the story about what happened to Yoo Yeon Seok and their father around 6 to 7 years ago. At the time, their father was a fan of Yoo Yeon Seok because the actor looked healthy, sincere, and kind on TV.
However, one day their father went home with a sad look on his face. Unlike the usual routines where he would tell stories about celebrities he had encountered, he went straight to his room. And at the end of the month, he quit his job.
A year or two had passed and the father worked at another company. But then Mr. Sunshine and The Interest of Love actor Yoo Yeon Seok appeared on TV and he immediately changed the channel. When the OP asked whether he used to like him a lot, the father stated that the actor was a bad guy.
The father told the OP that Yoo Yeon Seok and his friends had humiliated him. So he quit his job out of shame and humiliation.
“Yoo Yeon Seok was stretching with his friends before a bike ride. My father tried to converse with him, pointing to the nearest bicycle and asking whether it belonged to the actor.
But Yoo Yeon Seok gave a distorted look and asked his friends if he would really ride a dirty old bicycle like that. Then, they all laughed at my father.
The actor waved his fingers twice to my father and asked his friends to ignore him. After that, they rode past him, still laughing at my father.
My father took pride of his job and gave his best effort to help the resident. But since he felt humiliated, he quit his job.”
