Top Korean comedian Yoo Jae-seok tied the knot on Sunday with MBC announcer Na Kyung-eun at the Shilla Hotel.

The 35-year-old is currently one of the most popular comedians in Korea, hosting four programs including MBC's "Infinity Challenge" and KBS's "Happy Together".

Na, 27, became an MBC announcer in 2004 and is currently hosting a radio program called "Chocolate".

The couple first met during "Infinity Challenge" in 2006, when Na appeared only by voice, asking questions to the hosts of the program.

The two have been dating secretly since then and finally decided to get married early this year.

"I have hosted a lot of weddings, but it's my first time actually being the groom. I am so nervous I'm shaking", Yu said to reporters during a press conference prior to the wedding.

When asked about plans to have children, the nervous Yu drew laughter b...| More

Hit entertainer of "Infinite Challenge", Park Myeong-soo became the first comedian to cross the Military Demarcation Line by an overland route, Wednesday.

"I heard that I am the first entertainer to cross the border through the land route. It is an honor for my family", Park said.

As a part of an OBS program "Park Myeong-soo Meets the CEO", Park visited the joint industrial complex in Gaeseong in North Korea. During a one-day trip to the North, he met with South Korean businessmen and workers in the complex.

"I did not know that Gaeseong is only 12 kilometers away from Dorasan Station. It is so sad that we couldn't go there because of the division of the Korean peninsula", Park told reporters at the station.

He is famous for his "bawling out", but he said that he would not have outbursts at North Koreans to keep the peaceful mood between the South and North.

Park, who made his debut in MBC's "Gag Contest" in 1993, is a comedian who also...| More

Two leading variety shows on KBS TV, 'Happy Together Season 3' and 'One Night and Two Days', a popular segment on 'Happy Sunday', are more popular than ever this cold winter season.

'One Night and Two Days' features various 'road trip adventures' that take place when the main cast members Kang Ho-dong, Kim C, Eun Ji-won, Lee Soo-keun, Lee Seung-gi and MC Mong leave for remote destinations, including small mountain villages and islands, for one night and two days.

The cast member that loses in a game--whose results depend purely on luck--must spend one night outdoors in a tent.

Meanwhile, the third season of ' Happy Together ' is filmed inside a public sauna. Cast members must endure the heat and sing an entire song without making a single mistake in order to escape from the unbearably hot sauna.

Cast members include popular comedians Yoo Jae-seok, Park Myeong-soo and Sin Bong-son. Dressed comfortably in sweats and baring their faces by forgoing makeup, the celebrity cast pr...| More
