I never intentionally watch Korean TV, but I'm sometimes exposed to it when I'm on an intercity bus or at work when I'm making photocopies because my boss often has it on.
There's one commercial that must have been on for at least a year. I've noticed this commercial dozens of times, which is amazing considering how little TV I see.
It's some kind of medicine commercial and it's got 2 guys, one who's some guy in a suit and another guy, who I'm guessing is a comedian, in a yellow sweater I think. They're talking and kind of dancing, I guess because the medicine is so amazing.
So I'm curious, do they regularly play Korean commercials forever, or is it just this one commercial that's too good to replace?

Commercials are very expensive to make. Also, the company pays for the time slots that it aired. Probably, that commercial only comes on a couple times a day, it just happens its the same time as your commute.

I saw that woncashing commercial when I first arrived in Korea, and still saw it on when I left.

I was there for 3 years...
