Hangout with Yoo: A New Look Without Yoo Jae-suk and EEKyun After Her Departure

Описание: The popular variety show Hangout with Yoo has undergone another image transformation. Following EEKyun's announcement to leave the team, MBC officially updated the show's poster, this time without the presence of Yoo Jae-suk, HaHa, Joo Woo-jae, and EEKyun.
On November 6th, the official website of Hangout with Yoo uploaded a new poster that immediately caught attention. Unlike previous versions that featured Yoo Jae-suk, HaHa, Joo Woo-jae, and EEKyun together, the latest poster only displays the show's title in text, with no member portraits.
Throughout its history, Hangout with Yoo has experienced multiple team changes, from Yoo Jae-suk's solo era to the expansion to a team of seven. However, every poster version has always included member portraits, making this the first time the poster is devoid of any member's face.

EEKyun's Departure from the Show After Over 3 Years
EEKyun left the show on October 25th, having joined as a member since September 2022, totaling over 3 years. This decision was made due to her busy overseas schedule. MBC explained, "EEKyun has multiple overseas commitments, so she expressed her intention to leave the show. We respect her decision and will continue to support her in her future endeavors."
The team also expressed gratitude, "During our time working together, she dedicated herself fully to every episode. We thank EEKyun for her commitment and energy she brought to the show."
No special farewell episode will be aired, but the next episode will feature a member segment to express gratitude to her.
Clear Statement: Rumors Unrelated to Her Departure
After the announcement of her departure, online speculation arose regarding personal rumors about EEKyun. However, her agency, Sangyoung ENT, categorically denied these rumors, stating, "All rumors are false. We have filed a complaint with the Gangnam Police Station against those who posted and spread false information. We will not tolerate any such cases."
Despite the changes, the show's charm lies in the team's creativity and the members' authenticity. Fans can now anticipate the show's new direction under this newly transformed team, with episodes airing weekly on MBC.
