Veteran Comedians Unite for New 'Gag Concert' Segments to Deliver Laughter During Lunar New Year

Veteran comedians from 'Gag Concert' have come together to deliver a hearty dose of laughter with new segments during the Lunar New Year holiday.

The January 15th episode of KBS2's 'Gag Concert' introduced a new segment titled 'All Stop,' featuring comedians Kim Ki-yeol, Song Byung-chul, Song Young-gil, Lee Se-jin, Park Young-jin, and rookie Jo Jin-hyung.

'All Stop' is a skit where all the field employees team up to torment the 'Head of Headquarters,' played by Kim Ki-yeol. This episode showcased the misadventures of the 'Head of Headquarters' during a visit to an apartment construction site.

The segment highlighted the comedic prowess of veteran comedians like Song Young-gil and Lee Se-jin, while newcomer Jo Jin-hyung's performance brought fresh humor to the show.

In another segment, 'Two-Person Debate,' Park Young-jin and Kim Young-hee engaged in a humorous debate on the topic of the Lunar New Year. Representing husbands, Park Young-jin, born in 1981, argued that wives having complaints about the holiday itself is the issue, sparking laughter with his critiques of wives' behaviors from the journey to their in-laws to their arrival.

On the other hand, representing wives, Kim Young-hee satirized husbands who behave differently at their in-laws' and their own parents' homes. She particularly critiqued the expression 'daughter-like daughter-in-law,' drawing attention to how she portrayed this concept.
