 * Uyu has clarified that he only has a very small amount of host experience contrary to what people were saying about him. He explained that he did apply to many host places but the one he got into he shortly left after. Unknowingly, the guest Uyu served had belonged to a different club. Due to that, a manager had reprimanded him as the guest was supposed to be served by a different host. Another host would go on to tell him that it was fine even if Uyu had served the guest. That didn't sit well with Uyu to the point it bugged him so much that he quit afterwards.
