Yoo Jae Suk falls asleep at 10 PM while putting daughter Na-eun to bed

Entertainer Yoo Jae Suk's strict lifestyle habits are once again drawing attention. As his regular routine—maintaining an average of 8 hours of sleep per day and going to bed at 10 PM—was revealed, interest is surging into the self-management methods that have allowed him to maintain his position at the top for decades.

In the SBS variety program 'Running Man' broadcast on the 19th, a 'Commute Yahoo' race was held to decide the call time for the next recording. When the possibility of commuting during the early morning hours was presented, the members showed various reactions, providing laughter.

The candidate for the commute time revealed during the mission was 5:30 AM. Upon seeing this, the members expressed bewilderment, asking, "Isn't this early morning prayer?" and "Are you telling us not to sleep?"

Yoo Jae Suk also recalled his past experience of filming in the early morning. He shared his realistic struggles, saying, "In 2022, I had to go to work at 7 AM. It was winter back then. Even 7 AM was hard, but 5:30 AM is too early."

As it was explained that the commute time could be adjusted based on the mission results, Yoo Jae Suk emphasized, "It must be pushed back to at least after 8 AM," drawing empathy from the members.

During this, when Ji Suk-jin asked, "Isn't 5:30 AM the time you usually wake up?", Yoo Jae Suk gave an unexpected answer.

"I wake up at 6 AM. I go to bed at 10 PM."

Though it was a short sentence, it was a moment where Yoo Jae Suk's daily management style was fully revealed.

In particular, Haha brought laughter by exposing, "The amazing thing about this hyung is that he falls asleep first while putting Na-eun to bed." In response, Yoo Jae Suk expressed satisfaction with his sleep habits, saying, "It's really good to sleep 8 hours."

Kim Jong Kook also marveled, asking, "How can a person go to bed that early every single time?", and the members once again confirmed Yoo Jae Suk's unchanging philosophy of self-management.

Yoo Jae Suk's lifestyle pattern is evaluated as a self-management strategy that enabled his long-lasting broadcasting career beyond just a simple habit.

For an entertainer who must handle numerous filming schedules every week for decades, physical strength and concentration are direct professional competitiveness. Especially since variety programs are a genre where instantaneous judgment, quick wits, and the ability to coordinate relationships with cast members are important, stable condition management is essential.

Through various broadcasts in the past, Yoo Jae Suk has revealed that he values consistent exercise, a regular lifestyle, and time spent with his family. His attitude of prioritizing the balance of daily life and repeatable routines over a flashy star life is cited as one of the secrets to his long-term success.

American psychologist William James explained, "Habit is a great lever of human behavior." This means that repeated small choices eventually determine an individual's life and achievements. Yoo Jae Suk's 10 PM bedtime is also interpreted not as a simple lifestyle habit, but as a result of self-control to maintain peak performance.

- Time with family is also at the center of his routine

In particular, the part that caught attention in this broadcast was the story that Yoo Jae Suk naturally falls asleep while putting his daughter Na-eun to bed.

This shows that he does not simply sleep early for health management, but places time spent with his family as an important value in his life.

As interest in work-life balance and family-centered lifestyles increases socially, Yoo Jae Suk's way of life is being accepted not as the special daily routine of a successful celebrity, but as a form of modern living that prioritizes family and health.

- 'Running Man' Commute Time Race... Finally confirmed for 8:30 AM

In today's broadcast, the next recording's commute time was decided based on the members' choices.

Song Ji-hyo and Ji Suk-jin chose the prize vending machine, while Haha chose the time vending machine, saying, "For fathers raising children, time is gold." Ji Ye-eun also challenged the time vending machine, considering Yoo Jae Suk's choice.

Yoo Jae Suk also chose the time vending machine, joking, "I will punish the members who didn't listen to my opinion."

However, the result was unexpected. Haha obtained a result that moved the commute time forward by 2 hours, and Ji Ye-eun succeeded in pushing it back by 1 hour. On the other hand, Yoo Jae Suk drew laughter by drawing a result that moved the time forward by a whopping 5 hours.

Ultimately, the next recording's commute time was decided as 8:30 AM. It was a realistic compromise, neither the excessively early dawn commute Yoo Jae Suk wanted nor the late commute some members desired.
