Shim Hyun-seop Faces 'Public Trial' on 'Gag Concert' with Special Appearance by VERIVERY's Kangmin

Shim Hyun-seop, who married someone 11 years his junior last year, will face a 'public trial' on 'Gag Concert'.

On the upcoming episode of KBS2's 'Gag Concert' airing on the 29th, comedian Shim Hyun-seop will appear as a defendant in the 'public trial' segment. Additionally, VERIVERY's Kangmin will make a special appearance in the 'Rather Good' segment, captivating the audience with a dazzling performance.

Shim Hyun-seop, a founding member of 'Gag Concert', is known for his iconic roles such as Maeng-gu in 'Bongsoongah School' and the chieftain in 'Morning of Savannah', bringing laughter to audiences of all ages. He is considered a living legend of 'Gag Concert'. However, he stands trial for the 'crime of performing old jokes in 2026'.

Prosecutor Park Sung-ho argues, "Shim Hyun-seop debuted in the 20th century in 1994," and adds, "He is a comedian from the era of PC communication jokes. He still performs jokes from the first episode of 'Gag Concert'." He demands severe punishment. In defense, lawyer Park Young-jin counters, "He is not just someone who performs old jokes," and claims, "He is a trendsetter leading the latest trends."

Despite feeling the changes of the times, Shim Hyun-seop reportedly elicited laughter from the audience with ad-libs befitting his reputation as the 'god of impersonations'.

In the 'Rather Good' segment, 'terrorist' Kim Ki-yeol hijacks a flight to Jeju Island, redirecting it to Guam. The unexpected overseas trip excites the passengers, and VERIVERY's Kangmin makes a surprise appearance, astonishing everyone.

Kangmin showcases the performance of 'Free Falling', released on the 26th, in front of 'terrorist' Kim Ki-yeol and the passengers. He also delivers dad jokes, turning the scene into a sea of laughter. Kangmin's performance can be seen in the full broadcast.

'Gag Concert' airs on the 29th at 9:20 PM.
