K-pop Meets Comedy in Unlikely Crossover
The upcoming episode of KBS2’s beloved comedy show ‘Gag Concert’, airing on July 13 at 11 PM, will feature a star-studded face-off that fans won’t want to miss. K-pop girl group VIVIZ and rookie boy group Close Your Eyes will appear as special guests, bringing unexpected laughs to the small screen.
‘Battle of the Century’ Gets a K-pop Twist
Known for its sharp sketch formats, ‘Gag Concert’ will present a unique comedy segment titled ‘Battle of the Century’, where younger and older generations of comedians compete in short-form skits. This week’s episode adds a twist: VIVIZ joins the YB (Young Blood) team as a secret weapon, while Close Your Eyes takes on a wildcard role for the OB (Old Blood) team.
The K-pop idols, typically seen on polished stages delivering slick performances, will dive headfirst into quirky comedy routines, showing off a different side of their charm. With the OB team currently leading 5–2, all eyes are on whether VIVIZ can change the tide or if Close Your Eyes will seal the OB team’s winning streak.
Stealing Scenes and Spotlight
The laughs don’t stop at one segment. Both groups will also make surprise appearances in a skit called ‘You Asked for It’, proving their comedic chops alongside the show’s regular cast. Anticipation is also high for how comedian Jo Hyunmin will unleash his trademark biting wit on guest stars Kim Ji-young and Lee Subin who follow in the lineup.
Paranormal with a Punchline
In another highlight, the beloved character ‘Ghost’ from the ‘Simgok Police Station’ skit will have their MBTI revealed, offering a laugh-out-loud look at how even spirits deal with identity crises. DJ ‘Ghost’ (played by comedian Suh Sungkyung) also turns up the energy—or the afterlife vibes—by spinning hilarious tracks during a ghost gathering. Even castmate Song Pilgeun couldn’t handle it, exclaiming, “He’s completely out of his mind!”
‘Gag Concert’ continues to reinvent itself with fresh crossover episodes, ensuring that K-pop fans and comedy lovers alike have something to look forward to each week.
