He’s back in Korean! Following his bitter 2008 feud with Korean popstar Rain, Stephen Colbert was briefly featured in episode two of the Korean romantic dramedy, “The Greatest Love” (최고의 사랑 or Choego-ui Sarang) which aired for 16 episodes in 2011 on MBC.
After seeing some screencaps from the episode posted by raburabujutsu on tumblr, we here at Hub were naturally curious about Stephen’s random appearance on a Korean dramedy “about true love in the fake world of entertainment”.
In the scene [14:14 – 15:28], Dokko Jin (Cha Seung-won), a popular yet flawed celebrity, is laid up in bed pretending to be injured from an accident as an excuse for not making it to Hollywood. Kim Jae-Seok (Im Ji-Kyu) enters the room to find Dokko Jin watching foreign language television to improve his English skills – more specificially, Stephen Colbert’s 2007 interview on ‘Larry King Live’ (CNN) [Transcript].
