The second Children's Day special broadcast of 'Gag Concert' surpassed a competition rate of 10 to 1 just one week after audience applications opened.
On the 10th, the 'Gag Concert' team announced, "We have been accepting audience applications for the Children's Day special broadcast on May 4th since the 3rd, and the number of applicants has exceeded 10,000 in just one week." This is ten times the number of available audience seats, proving the record interest in the Children's Day special.
The Children's Day special was held for the first time in the history of 'Gag Concert' last year. The special was initiated by letters from child viewers expressing their desire to see 'Gag Concert,' and the cast and crew made a bold attempt to lower the viewing age rating from 15 and older to all ages for the child audience.
As a result, it received positive feedback as a special that fits the purpose of 'Gag Concert' as a public comedy that can be enjoyed by everyone, uniting laughter across the nation.
This year, the 'Gag Concert' Children's Day special will also adjust the viewing rating to all ages. Audience applications will be accepted until the 23rd, and the recording is scheduled for the 30th. With about two weeks left until the application deadline, the competition rate for the Children's Day special audience is expected to rise even higher.
The 'Gag Concert' production team stated, "Thanks to the enthusiastic response from viewers for last year's Children's Day special, we plan to organize a Children's Day special every year in the future," adding, "This year, we are also preparing fun segments that match the expectations of child audiences. We ask for your great anticipation and interest."
Meanwhile, applications for the Children's Day special 'Gag Concert' can be made on the official website.
