The late comedian Jeon Yu-seong was recently posthumously awarded the Order of Cultural Merit (Ok-gwan Medal) at the '2025 Korea Popular Culture and Arts Awards'.

At the ceremony, a recording of his last words was revealed, deeply moving many attendees.

Jeon Yu-seong passed away on the 25th, and his final message has resonated profoundly with the public.

The awards ceremony took place on the 23rd at the National Theater of Korea Haeoreum Theater in Jung-gu, Seoul, where his daughter accepted the medal on his behalf.

Jeon Yu-seong once remarked, "There are ignorant comedians and knowledgeable comedians," expressing his desire to be perceived as the latter, which left a lasting impression.

His humor and sincere messages provide much food for thought. As a comedian, he went beyond simple laughter, offering people energy and helping them forget the hardships of life.

He remained humble about his achievements and hoped that the awards received by his seniors would also be bestowed upon future generations.

His desire to positively influence his juniors is palpable. His final words were particularly touching, especially his wish to "make people mistakenly think I'm a knowledgeable comedian," which can be interpreted as a message not to forget the value of humor in our daily lives.

Jeon Yu-seong debuted as a TBC broadcasting writer in 1969 and worked as a comedy writer and comedian, becoming a leading figure in the golden age of comedy in the 70s and 80s.

Programs he appeared in, such as 'Humor Number 1,' 'Show Video Jockey,' 'Youth March,' and 'Gag Concert,' were all iconic works of that era.

Jeon Yu-seong's daughter, Jeon Je-bi, shared her thoughts, remembering her father's final achievement: "Thank you for giving this precious award. I will remember it not as my father's last achievement but as a new memory," which brought tears to many eyes.

The humor and heartfelt sincerity left behind by Jeon Yu-seong will remain in our memories for a long time to come.

As he wished, we hope he will be remembered as a knowledgeable comedian, and we hope his humor will continue to make us laugh.

A joyful moment

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.
