Finally watched RV episode. Irene is super gorgeous. I am excited for the upcoming SNSD's episode because we will get to see the famous Yoona's aegyo

kang ho dong is shook!

He looks so impressed(?) haha

Just watched EXO's episode. More entertaining than I thought it will be.

[shutupihateyou]

what's the best episode for y'all?

The chuseok 2 special eps! Ep 41 and 42

[Sergeant_Im]

Now that Kim Jong Kook had appeared on KB, top 3 people I think should appear on the show in the future

 

1. Shin Jung Hwan - Lee Sang Min's ex-bandmate with troubled past but missed by many people
2. Ma Dong Seok - because they need to make it final, who is stronger between him and Kang Ho Dong
3. Cool's Lee Jae Hoon - because Lee Soo Geun often imitates him

If they manage to make Ma Dong Seok come, then it'd be one legendary episode

I'm totally in for that one.  It would be a lot of fun.

no offense to SNSD, but is anyone else just tired of all of the episodes with so many guests?  I wish they would space them out more.  the guys aren't as engaged when there are so many people (with the exception of only the chuseok special, the seollal special was overwhelming) and it gets kinda messy.  it's just not as interesting to me.  I wish that SNSD wasn't happening for a few more weeks.  I get why it is happening now, but I will probably put it off a few weeks before watching.  

 

also, when the guests only have one aired question each (even most of BP with only 4 members only had one question), you can't really get a feel for the guests and that's what I loved about the other episodes.  because this group of mcs is so different from the other talk shows, you get genuinely surprised reactions and it makes it more fun/less predictable.  that's just harder to do with so many guests.  I miss the two guests episodes.  we've only had 2 of them in the last 8 episodes. I need a break from so many people and all of the chaos.  it's just not as much fun.

 

edited to add that the mcs haven't been nearly as savage lately as they have been in the past.  I REALLY REALLY REALLY miss that.

For those who don't know about Shin Jung-hwan's past troubles:

 

In 2005, he was caught gambling. He went on a hiatus for only 3 months. It was the shortest hiatus in Korean entertainment history. The Korean public really loved him and he was one of the most likable celebrities out there. He apologized and promised not to gamble again.

5 years later, he missed a recording without any warning. A news outlet reported that he was caught gambling in the Philippines. He criticized the media for spreading lies and posted a picture of himself "suffering from dengue fever". That photo was completely staged. Hospital employees stated that he was simply resting and that he never went through any treatment. He was stuck in the Philippines because he lost all his money and passport through gambling. He acted like he was sick at the airport when he returned to Korea too.

 

(cr. Mkatter.)

 

He was also sued by a trainee he was mentoring, having asked for 100,000 to make him famous. Then getting in to trouble himself, and never returning the money, having done nothing to for the trainee.

I only knew he got caught for gambling..wow. he's one of my fav mcs before. It's gonna be fun if they'll invite him lol.

I agree, Q/A segment feels short when the numbers of guests are more, i want to know more about the guests and their lives but they only get to ask one or two questions. It doesn't feel like the guests get enough time to connect with the cast.

 

Agree on that savage part as well, sometimes i wonder how they'll handle any ep without Soogeun, they're holding themselves back for some reason and its no longer as entertaining as it was before (still fun to watch but past eps were a lot better).

 

Blackpink's ep was nice, Lisa's dance was hilarious, i couldn't stop laughing at that part, Youngchul really improved, he was really funny in this ep, the 2nd segment was okay and they could have done more with that but my expectations were not big with this ep so i was not disappointed.

Just watched Kim Jong Kook & Lee Jonghyuk's episode. I can totally relate to Kim Jong Kook when he start talking about workout..etc

[Sergeant_Im]

For me, when a large group of guest came, the Q&A section should be at least 3-4 questions per person.

I'm satisfied enough with I.O.I Twice and WJSN episodes

Usually the problem is the second segment. If they focus only on games it will do fine, but if they add skits usually they seem redundant for me.

I think what important is how they manage the balance between time and content

 

Personally I don't really mind the number of guest as long as they could bring very good reaction and can cooperate with the brothers well.

[sunshinersforcedlaugh]

Episodes with one or two guests let them really shine. The problem with large amounts of guests is that even if the episode is funny it will be a little from each guest. It doesn't mean the episode is any worse, just not as easy to say "Oh XX was super funny" imo. 

[jaco621]

hey y'all

been watching a lot of Knowing Brothers eps recently.

in ep 72, it was mentioned that Young-chul was a guest in a previous ep, and i'm curious what ep that was

thanks in advance! 

 

EDIT: nevermind, found it haha

[Sergeant_Im]

not sure if you guys were feeling it but i think the cheap edits on KB are hilarious

[ByulHarangBona]

Finally watched BlackPink's episode. Usually Jisoo shine the most for me on any variety shows they are on, but Lisa captured my attention this episode. I can't stop smiling while watching them. 

[speedthief]

Next week is still SNSD

 

And then following week the guests are actor Yoo Joon Sang and singer Jang Yoon Jeong

[Sergeant_Im]

snsd 2 episodes back to back

glad that they didn't sacrifice airtime to fit everything in 1 episode.

2 episodes of good snsd variety will definitely be worth it

[sunshinersforcedlaugh]

I am seriously happy they are getting two episodes. 

[DemonicPotato]

Which episoddes would you guys recommend? I've been trying to get into the show because I like Sangmin and Heechul, but the episodes I've watched (RV and Exo) make me think that the concept is a bit messy (like in the exo episode, the last game was incredibly boring and it lasted for like 20 minutes). I guess episodes with less members are funnier though.

I don't remember all the eps totally but ep 25 (with Sunny and Andy) was really funny (probably the funniest ep ever) esp the 2nd part, ep 48 (with Davichi and Kangta), ep 41 and 42 (it has many guests but all were hilarious), ep 68 (with Girl's Day), these are probably the most enjoyable eps not only to me but to everyone and i liked some more eps as well but i may be biased to these guests, so i hope you read reviews of these eps first before watching it -

 

Ep 26 (with Joon Park and Lee Soomin) (it was funny)

Ep 43 (with Gain and Jisoo) (its 2nd part could have been much better though)

Ep 49 (with Sunghoon and Yuri) (i enjoyed it)

Ep 63 (with Lee Joon and Seohyun) (i enjoyed it as well)

 

1st part (classroom part) is mostly really enjoyable in all of the eps, only 2nd part gets boring in some eps.

[Sergeant_Im]

Next week is still SNSD

 

And then following week the guests are actor Yoo Joon Sang and singer Jang Yoon Jeong

Did the guest schedule changed again? The latest news was saying that Ep.89 will have Taeyang and Mino. Unless someone edited the Wiki page carelessly.

you can only enjoy the show if you get all their characters and their inside jokes

you might need to watch from the very beginning i think.

sometimes their jokes take reference from general knowledge or current issues

and they kept on referencing to things that happened in the previous recordings or episodes

 

i think you'll need to watch at least the first 10 episodes of the Brothers' School (ep.18 onwards)

as well as ep 1~3, and 16~17. These episodes will give some background story to their characters.

 

the whole show and their characters actually evolved throughout the time.

if somebody watches KB just for their bias guests, they can't really enjoy the show.

 

Some guest have deep connection and impact to the KB guests like Kang Ye Won, Han Chae Ah, Momo, Cosmic Girls, (overall).

 

Some guests have personal history and connection with the members

Heechul - Jeon Hye Bin, Im Soo Hyang, Seolhyun, Seo in young

SangMin - Kyungri, Lee Soo Min, Tak Jae Hoon, Baek ji Young

Kyunghoon - Solbi

Hodong - kim Jong Kook, Rain

 

 

anyway did you watched both RV episodes or just the new one? I personally prefer the older one.

Thanks! I'll try to watch earlier eps then. And yeah, I figured there were a lot of inside jokes (I got the Sangmin-debt ones because there are already tons of them on God of Music lol). I watched RV's most recent episode, not the older one.

It is correct, Taeyang and Mino will have the episode on 26th August

You need to watch the older RV episode (the one without Irene) I think that episode is a bit more crazy. Then re-watch the newer one.
