Popular comedian Kim Gura has quit all the TV programs he hosts after an old audio clip went viral in which he referred to the so-called comfort women forced into sexual slavery by imperial Japan as "prostitutes."

The one-minute audio clip came from an online radio program he hosted back in 2002 on the popular political parody website Ddanzi Ilbo. Kim reports on an incident where 80 prostitutes at a brothel in southeastern Seoul rented buses to visit the National Human Rights Commission to protest against an indiscriminate police crackdown.

"We haven't seen a sight like this, where 80 prostitutes board two buses, for quite a long time, probably since the comfort women or something like that," Kim is heard to say. When the clip spread on the Internet, websites of popular TV programs Kim hosted were filled with thousands of comments criticizing the comedian.

As controversy intensified, Kim issued a statement through his agency saying he would immediately quit the eight entertainment programs he hosts.

Kim Gura gave money to a member of a rookie idol group.

Gagman Kim Gura willingly gave money to Ledapple member HyoSeok. Despite being late, it is currently receiving attention from the public.

Last week, Ledapple appeared on MBC SeBaKwi, a show which Kim Gura is one of the hosts. Kim Gura who is known for being stingy gave money to HyoSeok on Ledapple’s appearance at the show. The episode with Ledapple was broadcasted last Feb 4th. Although the part where Kim Gura gave HyoSeok money was edited out, it didn’t stop it from spreading.

After that, HyoSeok revealed the story itself on twitter. Hyoseok tweet from the 8th saying “On SeBaKwi, I received money from Kim Gura sunbaenim and Kim HakRae sunbaenim! Thank you for your support. I’ll do my best and stay strong.”

The reason for Kim Gura’s act is HyoSeok’s father. HyoSeok’s father is Kim EunWoo who is well-loved and well-received through his punchline “Who’s going to stop them?” Kim EunWoo together with gagwoman Lee SeongMi won the grand prize on TBC Gag Contest back in 1980 for the skit “Comedy Observatory”. The program gained popularity with Lee SeongMi, Lee BongWon, and Choi YangRak who eventually became Kim Gura’s sunbaes and grew to be friends with Kim Gura on SBS.

During the recording of SeBaKwi, drummer HyoSeok appeared and revealed that he is Kim EunWoo’s son that rapidly gained Kim Gura’s interest and gave him money to express his sincere encouragement. Also present as a guest on the show, Kim HakRae also willingly gave his colleague’s son some money, “Kim EunWoo is really his father” he said expressing his surprise.

Here are some of the responses from netizens, “Kim Gura, really?”, “So Kim Gura has this side as well”, “So how much was the money?”

Meanwhile, Ledapple is back with another addictive song “Time Is up”. With their state-of-the-art instruments such as the touch screen guitar, DJ emulator, and electronic drum, they will put on amazing and unique stages. Also, Ledapple member KeonU is the son of the famous composer and producer Park KwangHyun.

Kim Gura recently expressed his thoughts on the the Big 3′s variety skills.

On the January 6th broadcast of JTBC Idol Premiere, Kim Gura told Miss A and MBLAQ, “Since JYP (artists) are not good at variety, you can’t learn from them.”

After hearing this MBLAQ replied, “We’re not in JYP.” But Kim Gura responded, “Even if Hyundai is not written formally on the title, the familly of KCC still applies as Hyundae. In the end, MBLAQ who was created by Rain, the student of JYP, goes under the same title.”

Kim Gura didn’t end here and continued, “Different from JYP, SM is good at variety. If you get to know YG, they are pretty flexible,” and expressed his evaluation.

However, MBLAQ and Miss A who were shamed by Kim Gura were said to have put Kim Gura in embarrassing situations several times during this broadcast.

March 9, Sistar’s Bora and Hyorin, and Secret’s Sunhwa and Jieun were guests on Radio Star.

Kim Gookjin introduced them by stating “They are currently the hottest idols in Korea besides IU.” Upon that statement, Kim Goora reasoned “That’s because SNSD are in Japan right now, and Kara are in confusion.”

Kim Goora also mentioned the CEO of Sistar’s agency and stated “The agency was originally promoting K.Will, but changed to promoting Sistar. It’s probably because all he knows is copying Wheesung’s voice.”

On MBC’s broadcast of Goldfish-Radio Star on the 23rd, Kim Gura caused a stir by revealing that Kim Tae Won had asked when Heechul would enter the military.

During the broadcast, which featured Sin Youngil and Kim Sungju as guests, Kim Gura asked them, “which MC position do you covet the most?” They replied, “Since we started off as announcers, the hardest posts would be the those of Kim Gura and Heechul.” To this Kim Gura replied confidently, “Well, my position is basically matchless and untouchable.” Following, Heechul added, “I also have my good looks.”

However, at this, Kim Gura said, “Actually, I thought Heechul’s position was impossible to replace but Kim Tae Won was wondering when Heechul would enter the military.” Due to previous MC Sin Junghwan being ousted due to charges on suspicions of gambling, the likes of Kim Taewon, Moon Heejun, Tony An jostled for the coveted open MC position.

Heechul had won the MC position from these challengers but felt nervous after finding out there were still many others after his position.

In the meantime, Kim Gura chided Heechul when the latter made a mistake while reading the script. He admonished Heechul, “You will look foolish in front of the announcers,” causing laughter.

Now i wonder when will Heechul enter the military. Is it this year as what the speculations say? Well the official announcement from him will be the final answer right?
