Korean-style 'I'm Not There?' A Comic Sitcom with Changing Protagonists ‘Minister of Culture Bong Man-dae (Tentative Title)’

A master of erotic films as the Minister of Culture? A new sitcom showcasing incredible imagination has begun production.

The comic sitcom 〈Minister of Culture Bong Man-dae〉 (tentative title) starts with the imagination that ‘Director Bong Man-dae, who appeared like a comet in the 1990s and caused a stir in South Korea with taboos, is nominated as the Minister of Culture for absurd reasons.’ The story unfolds as Director Bong Man-dae, summoned for a confirmation hearing, reveals secret stories from the booming erotic video industry of the 1990s, traveling between the past and present.

This sitcom, which is centered around the character of film director Bong Man-dae, has been prepared for 8 years and is scripted by writer Kim Hyung-wan, who wrote the dramas 〈Dream High 2〉, 〈Hide Identity〉, and 〈First Lady〉. It is known that in this sitcom, the stories from the 1990s will feature different actors passionately portraying the young Bong Man-dae in each episode, sparking curiosity.

Meanwhile, the comic sitcom 〈Minister of Culture Bong Man-dae〉 (tentative title) is currently finalizing the script with the goal of filming next year, and major casting for key roles is scheduled for this fall.
