Busy, busy, it's a comedian's life!

Comedians Kim Won-hoon and Cho Jin-se recently appeared on MBC's entertainment show 'Where is My Home!'.

When the MCs mentioned their busy schedule, saying, "We've been trying to cast you since the beginning of the year, and you're finally here,"

Kim Won-hoon wittily responded, "That's slander. I already appeared 5 months ago, in April," creating a cheerful atmosphere.

Both introduced their recent activities, including the web entertainment shows 'Nego King,' 'My Turn,' and the comedy channel 'Office Workers'.

This led to playful remarks like, "Are you guys just playing around now?" and "Is Kim Won-hoon's era over?"

A Long and Difficult Tunnel of Anonymity

Kim Won-hoon and Cho Jin-se honestly revealed the long period after their debut in 2015-2016 when they didn't see the light of day.

They revealed, "There were times when we filmed for 20 hours and received 20,000 won," which saddened the studio.

However, they said that they never forget their gratitude for the present because of those difficult moments.

Cho Jin-se said, "Yesterday's filming was also long, but rather than saying it was hard,

I always feel grateful when I think back to the old days," receiving deep empathy and applause.

The Explosive Popularity of 'Shorts Box'! A Monster Figure of 3.62 Million

Currently, their YouTube channel 'Shorts Box' has surpassed 3.62 million subscribers,

establishing itself as a leading comedic content production team in Korea.

Their content sharply captures the lives of real office workers, and their relatable comedy is much loved.

Many viewers are showing even greater anticipation for Shorts Box's high level of completion and consistent uploads.

The 'Income' Question That Erupted on the Show, and a Moment of Embarrassment

During the broadcast, when MC Joo Woo-jae asked, "Isn't your income in the hundreds of millions now?",

"Isn't it 0.5 billion per episode?" the studio was filled with laughter.

Kim Won-hoon and Cho Jin-se exchanged glances and cautiously replied, "We have a company credit card, so we don't really know how much each of us earns."

Kim Won-hoon was even flustered, saying, "I didn't know you would ask such detailed questions,"

and Jang Dong-min, who was watching this, joked, "We'll have to open all the bank accounts later," making the set burst into laughter.

The Promise of the Two: 'We Will Not Lose Our Initial Intentions'

The hearts of the two, standing under the bright lights, were still humble.

Kim Won-hoon and Cho Jin-se pledged, "We will never forget our gratitude for the present" and "We will work joyfully with our original intentions."

As much as they suffered during their long period of anonymity, their sincere attitude gave many viewers a warmer impression.

We look forward to the continued success of the two comedians who continue to take on endless challenges.

Real Korea, Curated for Global Travelers

WassupKorea is a next-generation platform designed for foreigners who want to truly experience Korea — not just as tourists, but as locals. While countless Koreans have shared their daily lives, food experiences, and cultural tips through blogs, videos, and social media, much of this valuable content remains locked behind language barriers. WassupKorea solves this by collecting and curating high-quality local content and making it accessible to global audiences through real-time AI-powered translation. Instead of superficial recommendations, users gain access to authentic, first-hand stories — from hidden street food spots to weekend mountain hikes — written by Koreans for Koreans, now reinterpreted for the world.

AI-Powered Personalization, Translation, and Voice Interaction

What sets WassupKorea apart is its deep integration of artificial intelligence at the core of the platform. AI matches users with personalized content based on their language, nationality, and travel interests. Whether you're looking for vegan Korean food in Jeonju or part-time job tips in Seoul, the platform's smart engine brings the most relevant, timely posts to the forefront. Every piece of content — blog summaries, local guides, user comments — is instantly translated using advanced AI translators. Users can also listen to posts via natural-sounding voice AI in their own language. Real-time voice translation in community chats allows for live conversations between users from different countries. With voice synthesis, AI can even "learn" your voice preferences to create a more natural and immersive experience.

A Living Community Driven by Local Content and Global Connection

WassupKorea is more than just an information portal — it’s an AI-driven community hub that grows smarter as users interact. Travelers and residents alike can share their own content via links from TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, or directly post on the platform. AI categorizes the content, suggests similar posts, and connects users with shared interests. Foreigners living in Korea can also access essential resources like visa tips, rental guides, job listings, and lifestyle hacks. As more content is generated and more interactions occur, the AI refines its recommendations — creating a dynamic feedback loop that benefits every user. WassupKorea bridges the gap between Korea’s deep local knowledge and the global audience eager to explore it, forming a smart, multilingual, and inclusive platform for everyone curious about life in Korea.
