If you want Korean tv, you'll know what I'm talking about. There's a troop of comedians that seems to be on nearly every variety show. They're ubiquitous with entertainment and tv in Korea these days, and they cause a stir everywhere they go.
Well, one of them almost lost his ear today.

Popular TV entertainer No Hong-chul, 29, was attacked in the corridor of his apartment building in Apgujeong-dong, southern Seoul Tuesday night by a 20-something man with a history of mental illness, police said.
The offender identified as Kim was apprehended on the scene by police.
No was immediately taken to a hospital in Sinchon, Northwestern Seoul. According to the hospital, the celebrity's left ear had a three-centimeter cut and he had injuries to his neck and back.
``It will take at least two weeks for him to fully recover,'' said Kim Young-jin, a doctor at Sinchon Yonsei Hospital. ``He underwent surgery Tuesday night to stitch up the ear. The pain he feels is not that severe, but he will need intense treatment for some more days.''
According to Gangnam Police Station handling the case, No arrived at his apartment around 8 p.m. after shooting a TV program. The entertainer, who thought Kim was one of his fans waiting for him, greeted him first, but the stranger suddenly punched and kicked him for no apparent reason.
The offender told police that he attacked No because the popular comedian would hurt his father. Police requested a mental checkup.
``If possible, I would like to return to my work immediately,'' No told reporters at the hospital Wednesday. No said he did not want to lay charges him as the offender was not in his right mind.
Meanwhile, Gangnam Police Station released Kim Wednesday morning, saying the investigation will continue without physical detention at the request of No.
No, a key member of MBC TV's hit ``Infinite Challenge,'' is one of the guests invited to the inauguration ceremony of President-elect Lee Myung-bak next Monday. |
I know he's trying not to be cool by not charging the guy... but it really seems to me that this nut needs to be taken off the street. |

Yes, but if he were locked away -- as would be fitting -- what would 노홍철 do while he was incarcerated? It's hard to do slapstick comedy when you're in a looney bin. |

I don't get it; why would Noh go to a hospital in Sinchon after getting attacked -- at 8 p.m. -- in Apkujeong?
And what did the attacker use to cut his ear? No weapon was mentioned in the article. |

| A good Hapkiedo or other martial arts punch can tear an ear, it's the twisting of the wrist as you make contact. Also ,a few kicks can do it too. |

| Sounds like a Korean version of Mark David Chapman in the making. There's a good enough chance No will regret his decision later. |

I was just about to post another post making fun of the guy and then I though to myself.......the dude could have been killed!
Think about it if someone came up to you with a knife and almost slit your throat, you'd be pretty traumatized. And you certainly wouldn't want someone making a joke about it.
Now the dude does annoy me. But he is also a Korean with tattoos and blond hair so I will give him props for the originality.
And I hope he get well. |

Kind of how I felt.
I really don't digtheir humor, but I have no wish for the guy to be harmed (just maybe taken off of the tv once in awhile). |

I hope he is a friend or relative, why the hell would he be invited to the inauguration. Sad state of Korea if he and the other 5 were invited on their artistic merits. |
