The late Jeong Se-hyeop's final stage on Gag Concert was revealed.
On the afternoon of the 12th, the KBS2 variety show Gag Concert aired the late Jeong Se-hyeop's posthumous work, a new segment called "BJ Label."
The new segment "BJ Label" is a concept in which BJs who do internet broadcasts handle every situation as if they are streaming it. Lee Jeong-su, the late Jeong Se-hyeop, Kim Yeo-woon, Seo Yoo-gi, Yoo Yeon-jo, and Hwang Hye-seon appeared and performed on the stage. In the first broadcast, Lee Jeong-su, Seo Yoo-gi, and Yoo Yeon-jo of "BJ Label" set out to help their hospitalized friend Kim Yeo-woon, and they carried out a clever attempt to cover Kim Yeo-woon's hospital and surgery bills through internet broadcast reactions.
However, after all the donated money was taken by voice phishing, the savior "top BJ" Mimi appeared. Mimi was Jeong Se-hyeop, and he delivered the highlight of the segment. Jeong Se-hyeop made a flashy entrance saying, "I'll help," and shouted, "Oppas, thank you for 400 million (star balloons)."
After the segment ended, a caption on the screen reading "In memory of the comedian Jeong Se-hyeop, who was happiest on stage" drew attention, and Gag Concert paid tribute to the late performer.
Earlier, Jeong Se-hyeop passed away on the night of the 6th. He was 41.
According to the Korea Broadcasting Comedians Association, the cause of death is known to be cardiac arrest. Immediately after the news became known, Gag Concert also paid tribute via its official account, saying, "We express deep condolences over the tragic news of Jeong Se-hyeop. We respectfully pray for the repose of the deceased."
Jeong Se-hyeop debuted as an SBS 10th-generation comedian in 2008 and was active on shows such as People Looking for Laughter and Gag Tonight, and later his battle with leukemia drew sympathy. After receiving a bone marrow transplant and being cured, he returned to Gag Concert and was active.
Jeong Se-hyeop, who joined Gag Concert in Apr. 2024, appeared in segments such as "Last commute," "Lee Jeong-su C Jeong Se-hyeop C," "Such a kind romance," "Sunflower pojangmacha," and "Commuting to hell," showing fearless comedic passion. In the segment "Match of the century," which aired on the 14th of last month, he drew attention by showing his signature character "Chow-chow" for the first time in 13 years. But the sudden sad news shocked many, and tributes poured in from numerous fellow comedians.
Jeong Se-hyeop's funeral service was held on the 9th at Hambak Mountain Funeral Hall in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi, and the burial site is Hambak Mountain Memorial Park.
