Netflix has cranked up the hype with brand-new stills from the upcoming variety show Yoo Jae-suk Camp.
Dropping on May 26, Yoo Jae-suk Camp follows head counselor Yoo Jae-suk and his crew—Lee Kwang-soo, Byun Woo-seok, and Ji Ye-eun—as they run a getaway-style retreat with overnight guests. Billed as a "camp-style healing variety," it promises laughter, bonding, and a much-needed escape from the daily grind.
The stills capture the foursome’s easy chemistry and the upbeat vibe on set. But this isn’t just a soft, feel-good concept. Much like the previously teased 24-hour schedule, the show’s tightly packed, high-intensity timetable sets the stage for wild, unpredictable moments—another major reason viewers are buzzing.
Sharing his thoughts on filming, Yoo Jae-suk said, "I was nervous but excited to see what would happen. The moments when people from different walks of life came together to laugh and have fun stuck with me the most." He added, "I hope viewers can relax and enjoy it as if they were right there at camp with us."
Lee Kwang-soo also showed his love for the program. "From the guest recruitment phase, I knew it would be fun," he said. "It was striking to see participants forget their routines and fully immerse themselves. I hope viewers feel like they’ve tapped back into their inner child."
Byun Woo-seok, who’s been turning heads in MBC’s period drama as a 21st-century Grand Princess, called Yoo Jae-suk Camp a bold new challenge. "It still doesn’t feel real to wear the same name tag as Yoo Jae-suk and work alongside him," he said. "I’m excited to show a more relaxed, natural side of myself." Ji Ye-eun added, "It felt like a school retreat—really special," noting, "Please look forward to the unexpected charms and the organic chemistry that formed along the way."
The production team revealed they focused heavily on casting for this project, aiming for fresh dynamics by blending familiar relationships with new pairings. "Amid the intense shoot, the four quickly grew close, and a genuine sibling-like chemistry formed naturally," they said. "Watching their relationships evolve will be a key draw for viewers."
Meanwhile, Yoo Jae-suk Camp will release Episodes 1–5 on May 26, followed by Episodes 6–10 on June 2, rolling out over two weeks.
