One of the best things about Korean television shows is the fact that producers here realize that there is something intrinsically funny about people that don’t know how to dance attempting to do so. For this reason pretty much every single game show here features dance contests that have very little to do with anything else.
Occassionally they will feature pop singers who will bust out decent dance moves, but then there are the comedians, actors, athletes, and game show hosts. The rule seems to be that if one is not a trained professional, instead of trying to wow people with your moves, it’s better to make them laugh.
Here we have former ssirum wrestler turned talk show host (because that’s a transition that makes a lot of sense) 강호동 (Kang Hodong) busting some moves on television.
And if you happen to need more Kang Hodong, check out this here commerical. Or if you happen to like former ssirum wrestlers busting funky dance moves, check out this post featuring Choi Hong-man busting similarly redankulous moves.
*Sigh* That brings back fond memories of “The Cackle Mix” Considering about 90% of it are clips like that from 천생연분. Too bad that show isn’t on anymore…oh wait…it’s just called X-Men now. Thank you Korea!
On a totally unrelated topic, do you know if there’s any way to post an image in the comment section?

The Cackle Mix!!! I had forgotten about that. Man I totally need to check that out when I return. In particular the dance contest on that cruise ship that involved 강타 looking surprised. As for posting a picture…I’m not really sure, but if the picture is uploaded elsewhere you can post a link.

Oh also Ailinn if you need more 천생연분 style antics, check out 연애편지 which is on SBS…and is totally hosted by 강호동.

I used to love watching X-men, though to be completely honest, I watched it more for 채연 then anything else.
PS - He moved well…
