And here’s why.

During a product placement scene for Infinite Challenge, the staff were only allowed to drink Americano while the celebrities were able to select any beverage they wanted.

But when he asked Yoo Jae Suk what he wanted, he got up and did something no one expected.

Please pick whatever you want.

When the contractor insisted that wasn’t necessary as Americanos were already prepared for the staff, Yoo Jae Suk went on to treat more than 50 employees to a drink with his own money.

You can’t even run your business because of our filming. We can’t just mooch off of you like this. It’s fine. Don’t worry about it.
