On Netflix’s variety show “Jae Seok’s B&B Rules!”, which released all episodes on June 2, Yoo Jae Suk talked about his personal rules and daily self-care habits. During the episode, he gave honest advice to Ji Ye Eun, who previously battled thyroid cancer.
While grilling the meat, Ji Ye Eun said that she liked a certain sauce and joked that it had “the taste of a child.” Yoo Jae Suk replied, “Your tastes may be like a child’s, but your health is no longer like a child’s. Be careful.” He then shared that he also loves sweet foods but is holding back now. “I really like sweets too. But I hold back. I used to eat a whole cake. But you have to say goodbye to the things you like.”
When Ji Ye Eun said she felt like crying, Yoo Jae Suk added, “Every time the first digit of your age changes, you have to let go of one thing.” Lee Kwang Soo, who is also present, agrees and recalls that even 10 years ago Yoo Jae Suk said that he needed to cut down on coffee.
Yoo Jae Suk confirmed this, saying, “That’s right. When I hit 30, I quit smoking.” He continued: “At some point, I realized, ‘Ah, this is how I have to say goodbye to the things I like.’ I think we let go of things one by one as we live.
Meanwhile, Ji Ye Eun temporarily suspended activities last August due to health problems. At the time, his exact condition was not revealed. However, in “Jae Seok’s B&B Rules!”, he shared that he has been battling thyroid cancer. She said she had recovered greatly and felt grateful, explaining that doctors had told her that even a 0.1cm tumor could spread, but in her case there had been several tumors.
Yoo Jae Suk’s words resonated with viewers because they were not dramatic but deeply realistic: As people age, taking care of their health sometimes means learning to part with the things they love most.
