    • @Flipside3D
      @Flipside3D 8 лет назад +424

      True, guess it depends on your angle. I find it funny because its really just laughing at ourselves but also most stereotypes have some truth to them anyway which makes for viable jokes in the first place. Media just overuse and generalize to the point where it becomes annoying and offensive I think. But really, for comedy, most of the time really depends on how you look at it.

      In case the where one has an MD/PhD yes one holds a professional license but one with a PhD without an MD cannot legally practice medicine. You could be a PhD in a health science but without an MD or OD you cannot practice medicine.
      However, this is all moot. The fact that I'm stating is that this man has an MD, not a PhD.

      Conan was able to get a good connections because of his Harvard degree (his line of work, writer for shows, tend to favor people graduated for elite colleges). Ken worked as a doctor before becoming an actor, so he was able to save up some money before trying to get a fun but unstable job. It was only when he has his breakthrough hit, hangover, did he quit being a doctor and become a full time actor.

    As a Korean i can say that entertainment that most Koreans watch is pretty different from American stuff.

      ***** I can only guess from your response that you're 교포. All three of his movies were released in Korea under his real name 정강조. He drew a lot of attention as 엄친아 who quit being a doctor to pursue acting. Your response, though, is too funny. You say "We" don't know him, yet somehow I know him.... so did the group that mobbed in Seoul. I'm curious as to who "We" really are. By the way, the TV sitcom Community can also be seen here in Korea. He's on that show, too.

    • @John2corner
      @John2corner 10 лет назад +44

      Please do not spread the wrong idea and false truth. Not many people in Korea even know who the heck that American guy is. 정강조? His real name? Do you think that's his real name? Why do many people seem to have prejudice toward (even toward their own race) non-white Americans? His real name is Ken Jeong, which sounds like one of English names out there. HE IS AMERICAN. Koreans don't recognize him as neither a doctor or actor). Most people don't even know what that guy is and/or whether he is of Korean descent. I am pretty sure many people who have watched a series of hangover think he might be of chinese descent cos in terms of fashion style, his style looks not so much like Korean. Koreans who believe they can speak English a bit, thus they understand western culture (and think western culture and society are mostly better than Korea and some of Asian countries in the most aspects) quite well seem to enjoying look down on their own country and culture by telling the false truth and/or biased opinions about them to other people from outside of Korea. Adding insult to injury, people from the U.S.A. and other countries who don't really know (or who seem to enjoy insisting that they know at least a single thing about) what Korea really is and what is actually going on in Korea seem to enjoy clicking "like" on these types of negative and ignorant comments that don't have any rationale in.
      I guess evil nature principle rules at least in this modern society.

    He's not entirely unknown in Korea, though far from being famous. There were several newspaper articles which emphasized his being a doctor and giving up his profession to pursue his dream, usually with comments like "Wow, what an achievement!"
    Somehow I doubt that most Koreans (especially men) will appreciate his stereotyping of Asian men after watching Hangover movies, complete with bad English and depiction of minuscule Asian penis to boot. The first Hangover movie didn't even make it to theaters in Korea. Maybe it says something about the probable reactions of Korean audience...

      He isn't popular in Korea partly cuz he doesn't speak Korean and makes living from degrading/mocking his own race=our race(I'm Korean as well), but mostly because he ISN'T AS CUTE AS BRADLEY COOPER. lol honest answer right there.. and fyi, you get stink eye in Korea when you don't speak Korean well probably because its inconvenient and that frustrates them, not because of you. They(we)know that Korean is not an international language so we don't have that "LEARN ENGLISH!!!!" kind of attitude that SOME Americans seem to have. I hope your experience in Korea has been good for you and wish for more in the future. :)

    • @davidbeeson9061
      @davidbeeson9061 10 лет назад +25

      The reason simply is that not just some Koreans but, I'm willing to bet, the majority of Koreans don't even know who he is. The Hangover movies are far from popular in Korea. And a show like Community wouldn't appeal to Koreans' tastes either. As far as degrading/mocking his own race as playdearbird points out, check out the 'Gag Concert' or 'SNL Korea' shows and compare some of their characters with characters that Ken Jeong plays or his references to Korea. Many Koreans especially love Gag Concert, young and old. Anyway, Koreans simply don't have exposure to his work.

    • @DeeDubb1983

      ***** It's not a matter of "not being allowed", any comedian that bases there comedy on their own racial stereotypes usually burns out quickly and is seen as "hacky" by most respected comedians and also seen as insulting by many of their own race. With white and black comedians, it's not as obvious because they don't really do fake accents as much as asian or hispanic comedians. Carlos Mencia and Dat Pham are the two names that really come to mind as primary examples of this.

Mostly people are very kind towards me here, and I think it is more of a convenience thing, but there is a small percentage of the population (much smaller than the US) that feel like foreigners should speak Korean if they want to live in Korea. I was told in broken English by a lady at Lotte Mart "You live in Korea, you should speak Korean".

    Why he is not popluar in Korea?
    There is two reason.
    First, Korean rarely watch Comedy films. We have planty comedy shows on TV, though.
    Second, Korea is one of a few countries people watch their native movies more then hollywood's.
    So American comedy movies Korean rarly watches .
    However, I remember some Korean-relatived actors or actresses.

    I highly doubt people in Korea actually said "no one likes you, I don't like you" to him -.- he probably made that up for the show, to be funny. And yes, he's not popular in Korea. Why? Well simple, the movie wasn't popular.

      Koreans are very blunt and say it how it is, so I don't doubt his story.

    Ken Jeong and Margaret Cho should get together and have the funniest Korean baby on the planet.
