Korea - Colbert heard ya!


Check out Colbert’s response to Korea’s outrageous response to Colbert’s first coverage of Rain. Obviously some of our fellow Koreans didn’t understand his sarcasm the first time around and I won’t be surprised to see them miss the point again, but it’s a good laugh for all of us who get Colbert’s humor. And a big thanks to David for the tip again! Check out the clip at ComedyCentral.

    Thanks! Still find the MV funny :) Rain again is getting more exposure, perhaps Colbert will invite him to be on his show in the future.

    haha he’s so funny ~ and I agree with the comment above…it would be mega hot to have rain next to colbert.

    I loved the bugolgi line.

    I knew this was going to happen.

    Oh god, I so can’t wait for the press’s reception of this.
    Last time most journalists of korean newspapers didn’t even get his sarcasm or his show.. what will they interpret this one again? lol..

    “But box and something that looks like a pagoda?! That’s uncalled for!”

    He’s awesome, and the netizens having no sense of sarcasm (or humour) only makes it funnier!

    Colbert is great. The way he presents himself reminds me of Conan O’Brian.

  15. 15 OMG! June 8, 2007 at 6:23 am

    stephen colbert and jon stewart are totally awesome. too bad the korean press didn’t do their homework about his show before deciding to get all nuts over it.

  16. 16 Shai June 9, 2007 at 1:37 am

    I love Conan o’ Brien! Colbert is too into politics..

  17. 17 eunhyukX3jjang June 9, 2007 at 5:53 am

    i don’t get it… korea said bad stuff about colbert because he immitated rain? well that’s stupid…

  18. 18 nz fan June 9, 2007 at 7:42 am

  19. 19 alexthegirl June 9, 2007 at 11:16 am

    ^Just look it up by typing in Rain. It aired on June 5th US time.

  20. 20 yriami June 9, 2007 at 2:07 pm

    colbert rocks if korean people would do some research before going nuts about it they would understand the humor and this is a super boost for Rain!!!! he is getting good publicity on US television!!! :)

  21. 21 Nesan June 12, 2007 at 5:23 am

    COLBERT IS CRACY
    HIS TOTALLY MAD SINCE SOMEONE CAN ENVY SO MUCH ANOTHER PERSON, HE IS THAT PERHAPS HURTS HIM RAIN’S SUCCESS. FOR ALL THE EFFECTS RAIN IT IS THE BEST.

  22. 22 kculture August 1, 2007 at 3:30 pm

    Haha. I really liked Colbert for doing this, mainly because it was really entertaining hearing him sing in Korean.

  23. 23 Ananda August 8, 2007 at 7:31 pm

    anybody know where I can find this video? Can’t seem to find it on comedy central.

  24. 24 Eun Ji December 6, 2007 at 8:23 am

    i found the clip on youtube for those who can’t seem to find it on comedy central… i couldn’t either. :P http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Qg5BoSUUMg&feature=related

    i think there was some confusion in Korea b/c they didn’t understand the context of the parody or what the colbert show is all about. it was mostly netizens and fans who made a big issue of it and the media just reported on it. but it wasn’t really a huge backlash against colbert. from what i heard, most news sites presented both sides of the argument… but everyone knows how some netizens are. there’s just no reasoning with them. :P

    i personally found the original mv and this response to the korean media hilarious! i think colbert’s intention is for people to laugh AT him not WITH him. :P enjoy~
