Broadcaster Yu Jae-seok canceled a recording due to severe cold symptoms and a high fever.

This marks the first time Yu Jae-seok has canceled a recording due to health issues since his debut.

Yesterday (September 22), Yu was scheduled to record the SBS variety show 'Whenever Possible'.

Although he went to the set, he reportedly asked for understanding and canceled the recording right before filming due to temporary high fever symptoms caused by a bad cold.

Yu's agency stated that he is currently focusing on his recovery and that they are coordinating the schedule for re-filming.

While Yu previously missed recordings due to being diagnosed with COVID-19, this is the first time in 35 years since his debut that he has canceled a recording due to general health issues.

As he has consistently maintained a strong work ethic through thorough self-management, fans have flooded him with messages of concern and support.
