Yoo Byung-jae (born May 6, 1988) is a South Korean television personality, actor and screenwriter.

Career

[edit]

Yoo rose to fame in 2012 when he became a writer on the third season of live sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live Korea. He then joined the cast of the succeeding seasons of SNL Korea, notably playing a star's overworked manager in the sketch Extreme Job.[1] He also appeared in the variety shows Yoo Se-yoon's Art Video and First Day of Work.[2][3] Yoo's increasing popularity led to Infinite Challenge's "Sixth Man" project, where he was one of eight celebrities who competed to become the reality show's new regular cast member (Yoo lost to singer Hwang Kwanghee).[4][5]

In 2015, Yoo made his first foray into scripted television when he wrote and starred in The Superman Age, a seven-episode fantasy-comedy series about three single, unemployed "losers" whose virginity at age 25 enables them to acquire superpowers.[6][7] Later that year, he became the first comedian to sign with top agency YG Entertainment, who called Yoo "not just a talented actor with an outstanding comical wit, but also an asset to the company as a writer who brings creative content."[7][8][9]

Yoo's comedy special Too Much Information was released on Netflix on March 16, 2018,[10] with a second, titled Discomfort Zone, released on August 17, 2018.

On May 21, 2019 it was announced that he left YG entertainment,[11] it was later announced that he signed an exclusive contract with Sandbox.[12]

Philanthropy

[edit]

On March 6, 2022, Yoo donated 10 million Korean won (USD 1000) to the Hope Bridge Disaster Relief Association to help the victims of the massive wildfire that started in Uljin, Gyeongbuk and has spread to Samcheok, Gangwon.[13]

On August 9, 2022, Yoo donated ₩10 million to help those affected by the 2022 South Korean floods through the Hope Bridge Korea Disaster Relief Association.[14]

On September 7, 2022, donated Yoo ₩10 million to help those recovering damage from Typhoon Hinnamno through The Hope Bridge Korea Disaster Relief Association.[15]

In November 2022, Yoo donated ₩10 million to G Foundation, an international development cooperation NGO, to help the underprivileged have a warm winter.[16]

On October 1, 2023, Yoo donated 10 million won to provide sanitary pads to underprivileged women.[17]
