In this edition of K-Variety Taster, we’re diving into a show where generations meet, clash, and connect, all through food and laughter. Let’s talk about the viral sensation, ‘Ggondaehee’ (꼰대희).
At its core, Ggondaehee is a comedy-variety show built around the cultural and generational gaps between the “꼰대”, a Korean term used to describe an old-fashioned or bossy elder, and younger guests. Each episode playfully explores these differences through conversations, food, and plenty of awkward yet hilarious exchanges.
The show’s name itself is a clever play on words: “꼰대” (kkondae) + “대희” (Dahee), suggesting a character who embodies the stereotypical “old-school” elder, but with a comedic and self-aware twist.
The Charm of ‘Ggondaehee‘
What makes this show especially entertaining is its witty use of dialect. The host’s regional tone often catches guests, particularly idols or celebrities unfamiliar with certain Korean dialects, completely off guard, resulting in priceless reactions and bursts of laughter.
One of the most popular recurring segments is “Let’s Eat”, where the host and guests share a meal while swapping stories, teasing one another, and turning even the simplest conversation into comedic gold.
Here are a few legendary moments you absolutely shouldn’t miss:
If you’re looking for hours of feel-good entertainment, lighthearted humor, and generational chaos, ‘Ggondaehee’ is definitely worth the binge. You can catch all episodes on their official YouTube channel.
