Actress Jung Ho Yeon, renowned for her breathtaking roles on screen, apparently now has another talent: pilfering baseball caps! And not just from anywhere, but straight from her boyfriend, Lee Dong Hwi‘s collection, all in the name of humor and for none other than the king of comedy himself, Yoo Jae Suk.
The comic caper unfurled on the latest episode of Yoo Jae Suk’s YouTube show on channel DdeunDdeun where he revealed an amusing tale that had everyone in stitches. It began innocently enough when Yoo and Jung Ho Yeon, co-gym rats, ran into each other. Wanting to pull her leg a little, Jae Suk jokingly asked for a baseball cap.
I was TOTALLY kidding. She went, ‘A baseball cap?!’ So I kept teasing her, like, ‘Yeah. If you have any at home, I’d like one.’ She said, ‘Okay, I’ll see what I can do.’
— Yoo Jae Suk
To his astonishment, not only did Ho Yeon take the request seriously, but she also went a step further, deciding to raid her boyfriend’s impressive stash!
I played it off like, ‘Dong Hwi has a lot of baseball caps, probably. You can grab me one of his!’ And she was like, ‘OH! You’re right! I’ll do that!’
— Yoo Jae Suk
(@dlehdgnl)Lee Dong Hwi, entirely oblivious to the ongoing plot, was left bemused when his beloved caps started vanishing. But as they say, love is blind… to thievery.
Oh… No wonder. She came by the other day, and she literally stole like six of them.
— Lee Dong Hwi
Ho Yeon craftily bagged half a dozen of Dong Hwi’s trendiest hats and handed them over to an ecstatic Yoo Jae Suk. The comedian’s plan? To cheekily wear one on his show and watch Dong Hwi’s reaction. Unfortunately, Jae Suk’s memory betrayed him, and he left the cap behind, foiling the comedic heist.
Lee Dong Hwi: No, I’m serious. She came and took a bagful of my hats.
Yoo Jae Suk: I know! She ACTUALLY brought them to me!
Lee Dong Hwi: Is that where my hats went?!
Yoo Jae Suk: She gave me one, and I cracked up. I told her, “This is great! I’m going to see Dong Hwi on my YouTube show soon. I’ll wear the cap and see if he recognizes it or not.” Except I forgot!
Dong Hwi’s revelation that Ho Yeon was “awkward and suspicious” during her little heist had viewers howling with laughter.
I asked her why she was taking mine when she had plenty herself. And she said that none of hers are trendy enough.
— Lee Dong Hwi
Aha! So, it’s not just about getting a cap but getting a trendy cap.
My goodness, she was being really awkward and suspicious about it while stealing six, seven of my collection.
— Lee Dong Hwi
The best part? Yoo Jae Suk not only celebrated his birthday with Dong Hwi’s hat, but he even took a picture wearing it alongside the gym owner! Dong Hwi, once he connected the dots, was both amused and relieved, “I guess… I’m glad to have indirectly celebrated your birthday with you that way.”
This hilarious incident just goes to show that when comedians and actors collaborate, even off-screen, we’re in for an uproarious treat. A tip of the (stolen) hat to both Jung Ho Yeon and Yoo Jae Suk for providing fans with this delightful and memorable episode.
Thank you, Ho Yeon, for upping the ante in celebrity pranks. And to Lee Dong Hwi, might we suggest a lock for your cap collection? Just in case Jae Suk decides he’d fancy another trendy accessory!
