Comedian Kim Ki-yeol revealed the story behind his departure from 'Gag Concert' after protesting to the production team on behalf of his juniors.

The KBS variety program 'Malja Show,' which aired on the 31st, featured a special episode titled "People Who Get Angry Easily," with Kim Ki-yeol, a 21st-generation comedian from KBS, and Magic Park, an internet broadcaster, dentist, and magician, appearing as guests.

On that day, a female audience member shared how she distanced herself from her friends after protesting to the perpetrator on behalf of her colleagues who had been subjected to personal attacks, saying, "I'm worried about how to fix this kind of personality."

Kim Young-hee empathized, stating, "I have often spoken up and fought for my friends. However, there were cases where relationships broke down because people said, 'You only complained, so why did you escalate the situation?'"

She continued, "Later, when the parties involved reconciled and got along well, I ended up being the odd one out." She advised, "Unless the parties involved want it, don't take matters into your own hands. Just listening to them is enough to offer comfort."

Kim Young-hee identified Kim Ki-yeol as someone who cannot tolerate injustice. Kim Ki-yeol responded, "Because of this personality, I suffered a lot," recalling his time on 'Gag Concert.'

Kim Ki-yeol said, "The screen time of rookie juniors who worked with me in the same segment was edited. At that time, the juniors included Im Woo-il and Kwak Beom." He added, "The juniors expressed their grievance, saying, 'The live audience reaction was good, but since we were rookies and lacked power, maybe it was edited. Please speak up for us.'"

He continued, "I went to the responsible PD and asked why they had been edited. After exchanging words, eventually, I ended up being the only one who stopped appearing on 'Gag Concert.'"

Jeong Beom-gyun explained, "Kim Ki-yeol quit 'Gag Concert' after his relationship with the responsible PD deteriorated because he spoke up on behalf of his juniors."

Kim Ki-yeol then joked, "Those friends thought I would leave with them, but they kept doing well. Didn't they become very successful afterward?" This remark drew laughter from the audience.
