Lee Yong-jin‘s Current Status, He’s Now a Tarot Reader... Opens a YouTube Channel He Planned Personally

Broadcaster Lee Yong-jin is introducing his first personal content channel, ‘Yong Tarot’.

‘Yong Tarot’ is the first YouTube content that Lee Yong-jin has personally planned and produced. It is a talk content that uses tarot to reveal guests‘ hidden stories, future goals, and dreams. It is said that Lee Yong-jin learned tarot himself for several months after planning ‘Yong Tarot’ to prepare the content.

In the ‘Yong Tarot’ teaser video released on the 23rd, Lee Yong-jin showed his confidence in his new content by saying, “The time has come and I’m ready. I learned it formally, I‘ve learned it for a long time, and my skills have been recognized that I can do tarot counseling. It’s important to be funny, but I can‘t fool around with it. I’ll make you heal,” he said. ‘Yong Taro’ announced in the teaser that the first episode will be released on October 30th at 6 PM.

‘Yong Taro’ is the first personal channel that Lee Yong-jin, who has been continuously breaking the mold of existing entertainment programs and creating his own style since his debut, is creating, so expectations are high that it will provide content that will showcase ‘the entertainment that Lee Yong-jin pursues’. For ‘Yong Taro’, Lee Yong-jin personally recruited writer Kim Woo-kyung, who worked with him on ‘Turkeys on the Block’, ‘Mouth with Wheels’, and ‘Yongjin Health Center’, and PD Bang Mi-ri, who directed ‘Minoi‘s Cooking’, and formed a production team.

Meanwhile, Lee Yong-jin, who debuted in 2005 with SBS ‘People Looking for Laughter’, received much love for his public comedies such as tvN’s ‘Comedy Big League’. He has been the MC of programs such as ‘Beatles Code’, ‘Transfer Love’, ‘Over-Immersive Life Story’, ‘Synchro You’, and has also been active in variety shows such as ‘Mystery Investigation Team’, ‘Comedy Revenge’, and YouTube web entertainment shows such as ‘Turkeys on the Block’, ‘Wheeled Mouth’, ‘Yongjin Health Center’.

Lee Yong-jin became a hot topic in June when he signed with the new management company Story Nine Works. This ‘Yong Taro’ is also his first full-fledged attempt through a new agency. Currently, Lee Yong-jin is appearing on KBS 2TV‘s ‘Synchro You’ and SBS’s ‘Over-Immersive Life Story Season 2’, and recently appeared in the Netflix original entertainment series ‘Comedy Revenge’.
