the guy with the enornous head from muhan dojeon (pronounced "moo-han doo-jon" or "the funny")

yesterday, whilst walking home from poker at teacher bjorn's, jason noticed a tall korean fella with a bit of a 'fro standing in front of chungmu art hall. this famous comedian dude named jeong jun-ha, who makes up one fifth of this comedy troupe named muhan dujeon, was standing around talking to some of his friends. he is one of the stars of the hairspray musical here in seoul.
muhan dojeon have their own tv show and are spokesmen for every second company in korea. their tv show translates to "infinite challenge". each episode they go up against one another in some sort of, go figure, challenge and it sometimes involves western celebrities. it always ends up hilarious because they're not the fittest guys in the locker room and they're quirkier than sarah silverman.
plagiarizing from wikipedia, here is some info on jeung jun-ha:

"Due to the extraordinary size of his head (8kg) and huge amount of meals which he eats (in the 50th episode special-S03E50, he had a Challenge where he had to eat 50 plates of noodles in 300 seconds. The plates altogether was about 10-30 kilos. he succeeded, but he had to go straight to the lavatory and sleep at the back of the studio)."

i mean really, how awesome is that? way to entertain and take one for the team. total slugger in my books.

here is a website with two clips of the show and the only ones i've found with english subtitles. but really, it's just as funny, if not funnier, watching without them. the first clip is a freeze game where they have to put on kids clothes without getting caught moving. the second is my favourite and it's with thierry henry, one of the most well known and highest paid soccer players in the world. i also heard that paris hilton was to be on an episode last week. sadly missed that one. koreans are too nice to make fun of others so instead, the muhan dojeon-ers make asses of themselves. what a bunch of hams!
their faces are plastered all over the subway and they're all gazillionaires, or so i'm told. maybe he's the equivalent of adam sandler or even a quirky rick moranis in his hay-day. i showed the picture to my students today and i gained minor celebrity status but i'm still no jeung jun-ha. sigh.
