Korean comedy

Korean comedy is the art of comedy, done on stage, or within other media by Koreans, in the Korean language or by overseas Koreans.

In South Korea, many comedy is done on television program such as Gag Concert or in the movies, and is still physically driven. Most newspapers have a political cartoonist who will also heighten attention to current events with comic illustrations.

In North Korea, Pyongyang Broadcasting Corporation in late May 2005, has revived comic folk tales for political commentary, in attempting to satirize American society, and political jockeying for power by using the a form known as manp'il, or "comic notes" in a short acted dialogue using folkish humour and animal metaphors.
