‘Gag Concert’ returns to viewers after three and a half years.
On the 11th, KBS announced, “Gag Concert (hereinafter referred to as ‘Gag Concert’) will be broadcast every Sunday at 10:25 PM starting November 12th.”
'Gag Concert' was first broadcast on September 4, 1999, and is a comedy program that has been in charge of viewers' Sunday nights for 21 years through many popular corners such as Balsam School, Sensitivity, King of Ratings, and Four.

The comedians who will lead the new 'Gag Contest' also presented a preview of 'Gag Concert' at the closing ceremony of the '11th Busan International Comedy Festival' on September 3rd.
CP Kim Sang-mi, who is in charge of the program, said, "The legendary program Gag Concert, which was responsible for the entire nation's Sunday night, is returning after three and a half years. As this is a new comedy program ambitiously prepared by KBS, we ask for your interest and love." .
Meanwhile, 'Gag Concert' will premiere on KBS 2TV at 10:25 pm on November 12th.
