|
Who is that guy? He has a beard, a blonde mop and sometimes likes to up the comedic ante by wearing a Superman suit.
My girlfriend thinks he is the most hilarious comic genius since time began. I think he is an irritating, grinning bufoon knob-head. Please, you be the judge of this |

i think he's exceptionally annoying.
what's the name of that TV show with the 6 comics that he's in? you know, the one where they simply go around doing stuff while being goofballs - and their logo is some possessed sheep? i saw three of them in a commercial for Chicken NeNe last night, i think. i wonder how much money they rake in. |

I know that the main guy is the highest paid person on tv in Korea. The rest, I have no idea.
Oh and yes, the blonde guy is exceptionally annoying. |

My husband says the presenter the blond guy is usually pared up with (the guy with the big teeth and wears glasses? He does that ad for a finance company or whatever where he plays a guitar and sings- it's pretty cheesy) is the most popular presenter in Korea (he's on every damn channel every time I turn on the tv). Hubby says he gets paid 20-30 mil a pop @.@!!
As for the blond guy, I don't mind him too much cuz I think he's silly. But my Korean isn't good enough to appreciate any witticisms, etc. I noticed that the broadcasting companies make him cover up his tats, btw. I saw a program he did at a waterpark, so he was shirtless, and they tried to cover up the tat on his upper arm with a bandana.  |

Yoo Jae-seok. My students all call him "Grasshopper" (that's what his Korean nickname is, they say) |

No Hong Chul (aka the blond guy) is annoying and not funny
YU Jae Soek is good though |

That's what my husband said, too. Apparently if he takes off his glasses, he has bug eyes.... Hubby also says (sorry if I sound like a broken record) everyone likes him because he's mediocre, and therefore appeals to everyone.  Not too handsome; not too witty; not too funny, or he'd be a comedian... |

| Blondie does my head in big-time. Every time he appears on the box, I want to kick the screen in. Just thinking about him is winding me up. I know it's a fairly irrational hatred but for Christ's sake, does he have to be on TV every day? |

| He's a tool. There was a bleach/bathroom cleaner commercial he was in, also. It nearly drove me to murder. |

Gotta agree with some of the others here. Yu Jaeseok is actually very funny and a good host of the many shows he appears in: specifically "Muhan Dojan!" which is on 24x7 on any Korean channel it seems.
Not as funny as the "water show" "Dangerous Invitiation" but still fairly entertaining as K-TV goes... a low bar I know...
Noh Hong-chul is a buffoon. That is why he is on TV. |

There is something about that show that forces me to watch it. I barely speak Korean, yet I see 6 Korean men in wigs participating in some inane challenge and my brain thinks, "I MUST watch this show!!" I am a shame to my family. |

I asked my adult students who the greatest Korean comedian is. They all agreed that the blond is utterly unfunny, but they were equally vehement about their love of Mr. Grasshopper. |
