Revamped 'Gag Concert' Introduces New Comedy Segments: 'Squid Game' Parody and More

In November 2023, the revived 'Gag Concert' is set to launch a fresh wave of laughter with the introduction of two new segments.

On the November 29th episode of KBS2's 'Gag Concert', viewers will be treated to the debut of 'Jjukkumi Game', a parody of 'Squid Game', and 'Daehak-ro Acting Restaurant', featuring employees with a passion for acting.

The 'Jjukkumi Game', starring Lee Jung-soo, Lee Se-jin, Jung Se-hyup, Kim Yeo-woon, and Oh Jung-yul, revolves around a dating death game for the romantically challenged 'jjukkumi'. Lee Jung-soo, Kim Yeo-woon, and Oh Jung-yul portray the awkward 'jjukkumi', while Lee Se-jin and Jung Se-hyup play hosts who present them with romantic dilemmas.

Participants in the 'Jjukkumi Game' face challenges such as guessing why their girlfriend is upset and winning over a girlfriend's disapproving mother. The comedic struggles of these dating novices are expected to be a major source of laughter.

Hong Soon-mok, Lee Kwang-seop, Jung Tae-ho, and Lee Hyun-jung open the 'Daehak-ro Acting Restaurant'. This segment showcases the intense survival stories within a café run by aspiring actors.

The segment features café owner Jung Tae-ho and part-timers Hong Soon-mok and Lee Hyun-jung, who strive to impress film director Lee Kwang-seop. Their relentless efforts to win the director's favor promise to deliver laughter through their passionate performances.

'Gag Concert' airs on November 29th at 11 PM on KBS2.
