Snack Town's Lee Jae-yul faces height jokes and AI comparisons on BDNS

Comedy duo Snack Town appeared on the BDNS YouTube channel to discuss their four years of manzai and an upcoming nationwide tour starting in early December. During the appearance, hosts joked that Lee Jae-yul has a height of 147cm and looks like he was made by AI.

The comedy duo Snack Town caused a pleasant commotion by showcasing the essence of manzai. In a video released by the YouTube channel BDNS, Snack Town's Kang Hyun-seok and Lee Jae-yul appeared as guests, engaging in a bold verbal battle with the hosts while performing manzai.

"We aren't promoting it"… Nationwide tour announced through manzai

During the appearance, Snack Town introduced their activities, highlighting manzai as their primary content. Kang Hyun-seok and Lee Jae-yul stated they have been performing manzai for four years and are preparing for the "Snack Town Show (Bang Bang Show)," a nationwide tour starting in early December that will visit Seoul, Daejeon, Daegu, Busan, and Jeonju.

When the tour was mentioned, the hosts jokingly rebuked them, asking if they were trying to promote it on someone else's channel. Snack Town drew a line, stating they had "no intention of promoting it," but responded wittily by making a pledge that if they were to accidentally promote the performance, they would pay a large sum of money on the spot. Kang Hyun-seok specified the pledge by mentioning 50 million won for Jae-yul, while Lee Jae-yul mentioned 30 million won and 20 million won. They then performed an impromptu manzai themed around "easygoing middle-aged men." Their stage, which set a scene of eating Jeonju bibimbap, heightened the atmosphere on site, described as a "crazy performance that bursts with laughter."

"Height 147cm?"… Bold insults and 'AI lookalike' controversy

As the talk continued, the characters of the Snack Town members were sharply contrasted. In particular, the hosts launched bold attacks against Lee Jae-yul, who claimed to be the "center." The hosts appeared to praise Lee Jae-yul by saying he "looks like a model," only to immediately turn it into a joke by saying his "height is 147cm," causing laughter on set.

During this process, the bickering chemistry between Kang Hyun-seok and Lee Jae-yul stood out. Kang Hyun-seok joked about the difference between popularity and recognition, noting that Lee Jae-yul's recognition is higher than his own. Sharp jokes were also exchanged toward Lee Jae-yul, such as saying he "looks like he was made by AI with only his height increased," but this was consumed as Snack Town's unique sense of humor, eliciting laughter rather than tension. Lee Jae-yul responded by saying he is "thankful to his parents," emphasizing his own style.

The standard of minimal fashion, Lee Jae-yul talks styling

After the jokes regarding appearance and height, the topic shifted to Lee Jae-yul's fashion. Lee Jae-yul is known to enjoy a minimal style. His style, confirmed through photos revealed in the video, aimed for a clean minimalism.

Rather than providing specific fashion tips, Lee Jae-yul answered plainly, saying, "I tend to just dress according to my feeling." In particular, when asked about the method of creating an atmosphere with a single item to achieve a minimal look, he showed confidence in his styling by emphasizing his own sense of style rather than any special secret.
