From BTS RM to Chris Pratt; K-comedy goes global?

[@AREM94]

Didn’t know anything about Psick until RM appeared on the show. I loved it. It’s amazing to know that 60% of the viewers are from overseas. ❤️ from California.

I keep watching BTS RM with this guys their Episodes was funny encountered....it has now more than 3 million viewers....and next funny to watch the Epik high brothers 😂.....RM the best artist G.O.A.T

[@ChinmayeeSri]

this is quite a good show but RM really made them go viral and global. he is always promoting small Korean music artists or much less known shows so it's not an understatement when we say RM has a huge impact on show going viral.

[@ChinmayeeSri]

@@RichieMonster yes I know that's why I said him featuring on it made them go viral and global.

[@cursedcroissant4117]

I watched them because of RM and epik high they are amazing

Here is the translation of the text into English (by chatgpt): --- Hello, this is Lee Yong-joo, Jung Jae-hyung, and Kim Min-soo from Pissik University. We apologize for the 'Made in Gyeongsang-do, Yeongyang Edition' video uploaded on May 11th on the Pissik University KZbin channel. We have read all the comments without deleting any, reflecting on the criticisms. We understand the importance of a swift apology, but we prioritized offering a sincere apology directly to those involved, and worried that a premature apology statement might not fully convey our sincerity. After careful consideration, we are issuing this apology today. We apologize to everyone who suffered due to our shortcomings. 'Made in Gyeongsang-do' is a comedy content based on Lee Yong-joo’s regional identity. The concept was to depict the awkwardness and incongruity Lee Yong-joo, who claims to be from Busan, experiences when interacting with actual Gyeongsang-do residents. As the series progressed, we included content that naturally promoted various regions of Gyeongsang-do, but we failed to consider the potential negative impact on these areas. In the Yeongyang edition, despite many local attractions, we emphasized the region's tranquility and used excessive expressions for the sake of humor. We lacked consideration for local residents and small business owners and used careless expressions like 'it looks like China', 'it has no distinct features', 'it looks like sewage', and 'grandma taste’. We understand these remarks were hard for viewers to accept as comedy, and we fully take responsibility and apologize without any excuses. Firstly, we apologize to the two business owners who suffered direct harm due to specific mentions in the content. We visited the mentioned bakery and Korean meal restaurant to personally apologize. At the bakery, we deeply apologized for our rude behavior and insensitive comments on the taste. Thankfully, the owner graciously forgave us after a conversation. We are sincerely grateful and sorry. At the Korean meal restaurant, we repeatedly apologized for our rudeness and acknowledged our shortcomings, promising to become better people. The owner advised us not to repeat the same mistake, showing understanding for our human errors. Although both owners stated they have not suffered any current damage, we will continue to check and offer our best support if any issues arise in the future. Secondly, we apologize to the residents of Yeongyang County, public officials working there, and KEPCO staff for the trouble and concern caused. We deeply regret causing emotional distress and apologize for our thoughtless remarks about Yeongyang County and its specialties. We sincerely bow our heads in apology to the residents who live and work in Yeongyang County. To correct our mistakes, we contacted Yeongyang County Office. Although not resolved immediately, we will continuously seek ways to make amends. Thirdly, we apologize to everyone who felt discomfort due to our content. We sincerely apologize for the discomfort and disappointment caused to many who watched and supported us as a comedy channel. Pissik University is committed to comedy. This incident made us reflect on the social role of comedians. Despite our efforts to create good comedy, we realize there is still much to learn. We promise to show a more improved Pissik University in the future. Once again, we apologize to the citizens of Yeongyang County and our subscribers who were troubled by this incident. The Yeongyang edition of 'Made in Gyeongsang-do' will be made private along with the posting of this apology.

Discovered them because of RM of BTS, who promotes a lot of more unknown Korean artists and culture. Subscribed because they’re hilarious, smart, genuine and real, philosophical, lighthearted, and have amazing chemistry. And I REALLY love their short English lessons-they’re SO FUNNY! There’s no one like PSICK in the US!

[@Itsmej9203]

RM is the reason thats why i watched this show.

[@krislee5343]

I came because of RM but these guys are hilarious enough to keep me here. I'm from California 😎 Congrats on the success 🎉🎉🎉

Same here. Came to know about them through RM.

[@CamkirE]

We overseas viewers are definitely here because of RM. But when you watch a lot of BTS videoes you are also recommended a lot of other korean content. And sometimes you get curios and sometimes it is even something you like. I have only watched some of the shows, because some of the guests - I don't really know them, and sometimes I just don't know what is being talked about. Some of the jokes and humor I don't understand because I am not from Korea, I don't know the cultural contexts good enough and I don't speak the language so the meaning of what is happening just sometimes fly over my head. Where I am from we use a lot of sarkasme and banter too so that part I get but when it is too goofy and silly it sometimes become too cringe for me. ( But that is just personal taste - I don't say it is not good, I just say I don't get it ). I loved RM's interview and the Epic High one. I love all the Reels where the guys are teaching us korean and I love the music cover videos. But keep up the good work and thanks for speaking english so us foreign viewers can tag along.

[@alexknight8174]

What that guy in sunglasses say about RM "not good"......confused???

[@onlyjoonies]

he meant "rn" which is short for "right now"

hahha i didnt even heard about PSick until RM. RM brought me here. all you mentioned artist that you guested are not known in our country. Only BTS. that's a fact.

[@charstar386]

Honestly I know CL and Jay Park because of BTS too. 😅

[@be.the.light.2107]

No doubt these three hard working, and talented comedians were on a steady rise gaining fans and viewers. Not being from South Korea, I was not aware of this comedy show. I watched the Psick show being a simple fan of Namjoon and his music. Chemistry between the guest and co-hosts make an entertaining episode. I think you need that to have a real funny show. Namjoon’s episode was funny. I think his guesting helped as a catalyst - a helpful positive boost in viewership. I don’t expect the hosts to feel as if their fame and increase in views were all due to Namjoon’s guesting, but it would have been nice just to have heard simply, “thank you for appearing” instead of Minsu’s “joke” that kind of fell flat to me. Maybe that’s his humor, but giving Namjoon a little appreciation would have been nice. I am thankful that I learn about talented artists through Namjoon’s recommendations.
