Kim Ji-min used to play the 'pretty girl' role in the 2007 sketch 'Uninvited Guests' with Kim Byung-man and Jung Jong-chul.
But when Kwak Hyun-hwa debuted in March 2007, the 'beauty' role in the sketch switched from Kim Ji-min to her.
Apparently, Kim Ji-min was cut from the sketch and went on a long hiatus right after...
To be fair, the sketch definitely felt more focused once it switched to Kwak Hyun-hwa..
After 'Uninvited Guests,' Byung-man hyung kept featuring Kwak Hyun-hwa, who was a rookie beauty back then, in his sketches.
She played his mom in 'Our Byung-man Has Changed.' Once that ended, they kept a similar format but swapped Kwak Hyun-hwa for Noh Woo-jin, and that's how the legendary sketch 'The Master' (Dal-in) was born.
He even did a gag on another show where he basically did a 'face-plant' into Kwak Hyun-hwaโs chest while she was wearing a bikini.
They even did a watch commercial together.
When Kwak Hyun-hwa became the first female comedian to do a bikini photoshoot, he promoted it on their sketch, saying her body in the photos on her social media was insane.
Just like Byung-man hyung said, looking at those photos even now, her body is indeed legendary..
Looking at her Gag Concert days, you can see exactly why Byung-man hyung pushed her so hard. Unfortunately, she didn't really land a catchphrase or a hit sketch during 'Uninvited Guests' or 'Our Byung-man Has Changed,' and it was only after she was replaced by Noh Woo-jin that 'The Master' became a mega-hit. Even though she didn't make it big as a comedian despite the push, she blew up as a bikini model, became the GOAT in that field, quit Gag Concert, and transitioned into acting.
"The community agrees that Byung-man's 'obvious' reasons for pushing Kwak Hyun-hwa were totally valid because she was legendary, while some users poke fun at her later career choices."
