Yang Sang-guk (born October 1, 1983) is a South Korean comedian.[1] He first became famous as a cast member of the Korean comedy show Gag Concert, earning popularity with his "countrified" image.
Biography[edit]
Yang Sang-guk was born in Jinyeong-eup, Gimhae, South Gyeongsang Province.[2] Originally, his dream was to be a Buddhist monk, but he "couldn't give up joy" and chose to be a comedian.[3] After completing his mandatory military service, Yang appeared in the comedy audition program Gag Hunting ,[2] performing a skit that was later adapted into the Gag Concert sketch "Seoulmate".[4] The next year, he became one of 14 aspirants to pass KBS's 22nd comedian recruitment.[5] He first became known through his appearance in the Gag Concert skit "I Bet on My Life".[6] While Yang was working on another skit, Yoo Se-yoon and Lee Jong-hoon gave him a role in "Doctor Fish", as a passionate fan of Yoo's character.[2] Though his role was minor, he grew popular for his unique intonation and attire, and reprised the role in "Bongsunga School".[7] "Doctor Fish" ended on September 21, 2008,[8] after which Yang took a 10-month hiatus.[9]
In 2011, he appeared in the sketch "Seoulmate", which he and Ryu Jeong-nam had showed off on Gag Hunting in 2005. Seo Su-min, Gag Concert's producer at the time, suggested bringing back the skit on his program.[10] His humor using Korean dialect made him popular, and his catchphrase "궁디를 주차삐까" became a trend.[11] Continuing his "rural" image, he appeared in "Four Guys" as a country bumpkin.[9]
