As the nation’s MC Yoo Jae Suk announced his decision to part ways with his long-time agency FNC Entertainment, a very expensive bidding war is reportedly happening between two entertainment agencies to sign the sought after television host and comedian.

According to a report, it is estimated that it will take 10 billion won as a down payment to sign Yoo Jae Suk. This is approximately $8.8 million.

It has been reported that among those who are interested in signing the multi-award-winning host are Kakao Entertainment and Antenna Entertainment.

Both agencies have admitted that they were able to meet with Yoo Jae Suk but they refused to divulge the content of the conversation.

Apart from being one of the regular cast members of “Running Man”, Yoo Jae Suk is also busy with several other programs such as “Hangout with Yoo”, “Yoo Quiz on the Block”, “Come Back Home” and “Sixth Sense.”
