Comedian Rallal is set to bring her unique brand of humor to KBS 2TV's 'Gag Concert,' appearing as her popular alter ego, Lee Myung-hwa. The upcoming episode, scheduled for broadcast on June 14, will feature Lee Myung-hwa in the 'Public Trial' segment, where her "crime" is hilariously being booked instead of the more famous Rallal.
During the recent recording, prosecutor Park Sung-ho accused Lee Myung-hwa, jokingly suggesting a "Rallal kidnapping theory" due to the difficulty in securing Rallal for the show. Fellow comedian Park Young-jin further fueled the humor by praising Lee Myung-hwa's charm over Rallal's, prompting Rallal's character to defend herself.
After finally securing Rallal after three months, Lee Myung-hwa appeared. We suspect a 'Rallal kidnapping theory.'
The episode promises more laughs with Rallal's energetic performances, including a skit about a phone call with a tenant and a segment called 'The Real Deal.' Additionally, the 'Singing Contest' segment will host the girl group Izna as guest singers. They are expected to perform a Bollywood-themed collaboration with actor Yoon Jae-woong, adding an international flair to the show.
'Gag Concert' holds a special place in Korean television history as the longest-running comedy program. After a hiatus, it returned in November 2023 and has since been entertaining audiences with its blend of satire and sketch comedy, reaffirming its status as a beloved fixture in Korean entertainment.
Lee Myung-hwa is much more charming than Rallal.
