"Gag Concert" is showing meaningful results in the fiercely competitive Sunday night variety show landscape, which features strong rivals such as "My Unpretty Little Baby" and "Rookie Manager Kim Yeon-kyung 2."

Recently, popular segments from KBS2's "Gag Concert," including "Public Trial," "Fast-Talking Broadcast Booth," and "Reverse Charting," released on the show's official YouTube channel have all recorded 1 million views.

"Public Trial" is a segment featuring comedians Choi Sung-min, Nam Ho-yeon, and Kim Seung-jin, who host the YouTube channel "B-Rank Hearing," appearing as defendants. The episode in which they appeared has currently surpassed 1.5 million views. Standing before the judge on charges of "being successful only on YouTube," the three began by shouting "Fighting for Gag Concert" to gain the upper hand. In particular, the segment created a situation where the roles were reversed, with the defendants criticizing the "Public Trial" team members Park Jun-hyung, Park Seong-ho, Park Young-jin, and Jung Beom-gyun. Choi Sung-min issued a penalty pledge: "If we do not reach 1 million views on YouTube within one week, the four members of 'Public Trial' must go out into a busy downtown area to make citizens laugh." Although the video did surpass 1 million views, the "Public Trial" team had anticipated failing to meet the pledge and performed the penalty in advance on the 6th.

"Fast-Talking Broadcast Booth" surpassed 1.23 million views for the episode aired on September 13, featuring comedian Hwang Jung-hye, who returned to "Gag Concert" after about six years. Appearing as Park So-ra's close friend, Hwang Jung-hye elicited laughter with her bold remarks upon seeing Park So-ra's potential romantic interest, Yoon Jae-ung, saying, "They said he looked like Mount Choe, but this man is a big mountain," and "He is not the Northern Great King, but rather a leader style from the North." Hwang Jung-hye, who co-runs the YouTube channel "Sketch" with Park So-ra, brought in her YouTube fan base upon her TV return, contributing to the segment surpassing 1 million views.

In "Reverse Charting," an episode featuring a male audience member with a large physique appearing as the youngest member of an idol group reached 1.93 million views. The audience member selected as the youngest member of the mixed-gender idol group "BooQ," aiming for a reverse charting success, wore a sleeveless running outfit and performed Choi Ye-na's "Catch Catch," showing off his pectoral muscles to great comedic effect.

A representative stated, "The common point among videos that have surpassed 1 million views is unpredictable fun. We embraced the universes of other YouTube channels such as 'B-Rank Hearing' and 'Sketch,' and collaborations with general audience members, where one never knows what unexpected situations might occur, led to word-of-mouth promotion. It is analyzed that view counts exploded as both existing viewers who watch 'Gag Concert' on TV and YouTube-native viewers flowed in together."

The production team of "Gag Concert" said, "We believe the results are due to our attempts to cross the boundaries between segments within the program and the boundary between TV and YouTube," adding, "We will continue to be a 'Gag Concert' that provides unique laughter going forward."

"Gag Concert" airs every Sunday night at 10:35 p.m.
