• New Year's plan for the 2026 丙午 Year ★ Interview

Comedian Kim Young-hee opened her second heyday as a deputy character of "Let's not be the king of communication" and opened a new year for 2026 girls.

Kim Young-hee is one of the most talented people who passed the open recruitment examination of broadcasting stations three times. After serving as a comedian for the first OBS in 2008 and MBC's 18th open recruitment in 2009, he began his career as a comedian for the 25th open recruitment of KBS in 2010.

Since then, KBS 2TV's "Gag Concert" has made a hit on the "Last Love" section, producing a big buzzword called "angdaeyeo (no)." Eventually, Kim Young-hee won the Best Female Award in Comedy at the "2024 KBS Entertainment Awards" in 2014, four years after winning the Rookie of the Year award. In addition, at the 50th Baeksang Arts Awards that year, he won the TV category 'Entertainment Award' alongside national comedian Shin Dong-yup.

Kim Young-hee finally succeeded in making a comeback with laughter, although she once experienced a crisis with a red light in her entertainment life. In 2018, he was embroiled in a controversy over unfair debt due to his insulated father. Since then, Kim Young-hee's mother and daughter have taken moral responsibility and paid back more than the principal amount.

After overcoming twists and turns, Kim Young-hee made a valuable achievement last year, being named the first "grand prize candidate" after her debut. Unfortunately, he only won the "Entertainer of the Year" award, but he raised his status as a comedian as the only candidate to win a trophy with the authentic comedy show "Gag Concert." In addition, Kim Young-hee enjoyed her second heyday as a result of being recognized for the hot popularity of her new sub-character (Lictor) and "Malja Grandmother." One of the corners in the "Gag Concert", "Let's not communicate king" eventually expanded to the regular program "Malja Show," and has been visiting viewers every Monday at 10 p.m. since the 19th of last month.

In a recent interview with Star News, Kim Young-hee said, "A lot of people say 'the second heyday' these days, but actually, I haven't been here like this." It dropped to 'minus 100'. It was also hard to make it zero again. I thought I had only reached zero, but everyone around me told me that I had passed zero," he said.

Even at the time, when it was difficult to hear reckless rumors, it was only "comedy" that kept Kim Young-hee alive. He said, "I really love comedy. I'm the most like that when I'm doing comedy."

Kim Young-hee said, "I even borrowed the debt of my insulated father and repaid it with my mother instead. I paid you back more than the principal. The 'Gag Concert' is gone here, there is no place to call me, COVID-19 has exploded, and the situation is really messed up. At the time, I had to earn money because I didn't have any money, but I jumped into stand-up comedy by spinning flyers at a beer shop so that I wouldn't let go of being a comedian. I think I did it for 30,000 won or 50,000 won. In fact, there was no real change, so the stacking process was so difficult. But I thought it was all a field of poop, but afterwards, it was 'filtration'. I thought I was going to die because of a lot of poop, but it was a 'natural manure' that became the 'grandmother to speak' today.

Kim Young-hee, who sublimated the pain into laughter. He can't help but be a natural comedian. "In the end, experience became the biggest book," he said. I've been having a hard time, so I'm nagging, saying, "You can't live like Kim Young-hee." There's no solution. Even if an expert comes, you can't solve it, and you shouldn't approach it emotionally. Then it's going to be a hope adviser. "I think you can just think of 'Grandmother to speak' as a nosy saying, 'Don't live like me,'" he said, referring to the secret of being reborn as 'Let's not be the king of communication.'

In particular, Kim Young-hee drew attention by honestly pointing out the past when she was inexperienced with laughter and greed. He said, "It's an excuse to say I'm a rookie and young, and I was immature. When I went on a variety show because I was full of passion, I tried to peel someone, make a lot of mistakes, and play MSG and make them laugh. However, this would not be my whole life, but as these things piled up, negative views were strong when an incident broke out, which was not arbitrary. Why can't the same incident feel sad and pitiful. But I think I made such a standard because I only came at it ignorant. I was resentful at first, but no one can blame me," he said with a cool head.

Kim Young-hee said, "(The debt is not true) already came out, but there was no opportunity to correct the facts and it was too twisted. I didn't want to cut this, I didn't want to untie it. Through this experience, many people were lost and cut off. I've been admitted to things I did wrong and I've come to see them clearly," he said after a series of events.

In the end, Kim Young-hee, who firmly captured the public's heart with a sincere confession on the "Malja Show." He said, "Isn't the suicide rate in Korea too high. I wanted to tell my story in the stand-up comedy industry once because it was such a pity and a waste for young lives to go," he said. "After the broadcast, I received a lot of DMs (direct messages). "You let me live." It touched me a lot when I received messages from people who tried to die like me. I was like, "It's good."

In the past, he even described himself as "unlikeable," but now he stands tall with his first look at the Sunple and "Let's not like it." Kim Young-hee said, "I remember this comment. "I really hated Kim Young-hee, but I felt sorry," he said, and "I didn't know she would be such a nice person." But I'm not that good of a person. You say you know him once you talk to him, but it's all a lie. There are times when I also evaluate a brief scene on TV, and that's not all about him. On the contrary, even if you look at it for a long time, there are times when you think, 'Was this bad?' I think we're living with these bad people. It's comfortable to think so. Then, we have no expectations for each other, and sometimes when we find good things, they make us respond more than expected," he said with a detached attitude.

Soon after, Kim Young-hee said, "I heard that malicious comments are easy to attach, but positive comments are difficult to attach. There are people who look at it with such good eyes and write good comments, so I gain strength every day thanks to you. I don't think there's anything more I can say than just "thank you" sentence. Thank you so much, and rather than saying grandly that I will repay you with laughter, I will just continue to live my life as I do," he said.

As it is an instant communication talk show that is conducted without a script on the 'talk show', "It is actually really difficult. He even opened up his troubles with his male mother, saying, "I have a circular hair loss." Kim Young-hee said, "All the gags in the 'horse talk show' come from Kim Young-hee's mouth. That's why I'm trying to be more careful. Keep the line that doesn't hurt you, but you have to make sure you smile again. He also said, "The direction of that laughter is very stressful because you have to keep warm and there are many things to pay attention to."

When asked about the direction of the 'Malja Show', Kim Young-hee said, "It's a broadcast every Monday, and I don't have a grand idea of 'I'll cure Monday'." Because what's the point of treating Monday's disease. "Twilight Sick," "Demand Sick," and "Thursday Sick" will come. Rather than that, I just want you to feel good after watching our program. I don't have the grandeur of becoming an icon of hope and dream. I just want people who are a little happier, and depressed to be a little less depressed. It's an entertainment show where the grandmother next door talks comfortably and doesn't put much effort into it. Even if you don't watch it like you're listening to a podcast, I want you to play it and listen comfortably," he said, encouraging people to watch the show on.

Finally, Kim Young-hee said, "Each dream is different, but I think our direction is the same. Everyone says, "I want to live so well." Isn't there no one who finds a direction to live strangely. Eventually we'll meet in a better direction than now. So, instead of just being harsh, I said, "It's good to be good," and said, "I hope we can smile and greet each other if we meet on the way through."
