South Korea’s top television personality, Yoo Jae-suk, signed a contract with FNC Entertainment this week, ending his five-year run without an agency, Yonhap reported.

FNC said Thursday Yoo’s upright image fits well with its vision.

Yoo joins Jung Hyung-don, another top comedian and fellow “Infinite Challenge” member who signed on last month.

FNC is home to idol groups F.T. Island, CNBLUE and AOA, comedians Song Eun-i and Lee Guk-joo, and actors Lee Da-hye, Lee Dong-gun, Jung Woo and Park Gwang-hwan.

Yoo, who debuted in 1991 as a KBS comedian, is the country’s top MC, heading popular programs on each of the three public broadcasting networks: “Infinite Challenge,” “Happy Together,” “Running Man” and “Same Bed, Different Dreams.”
