Okay the 24/7 Starcraft channel is an obvious one. But my two favorite odd channels are

1) What appears to be Korea's Comedy channel. It says "Comedy" in the branding logo. I don't understand (much) Korean, but none of the shows look like actual comedy shows as we understand it in the west. Anyone know if this channel is actually funny?

2) The fashion channel. Late night. Hours of european b-cup models strutting down catwalks in bra and panties.

My favorite is the movie channel that shows people playing paduk and Starcraft.

There's a generation of 30something single Korean women that seem rather innocent sexually. One of my former coworkers confessed she's a fan of Sex in the City. Her words "I don't understand all the sex talk. I mostly watch to see what they wear and how they decorate their apartments."

I totally fear the day she sees that one ep and asks me what rimming is.

I don't think about it much anymore, but when my brother visited from Canada he actually took still pictures of the TV tuned to the Baduc channel and AFKN. He also found Arirang pretty bizarre, but who doesn't?
