다시 내리막길 가는 기득권 민주당에게 [세상읽기]
Two stand-up comedians, Kim Gyu-won and Kim Tae-hyun, appeared on YouTube to discuss the concept of "benefit of the doubt" in the context of social issues. Kim Gyu-won explained that in comedy, there is a rule that you don't punch down, meaning you shouldn't make fun of those below you. However, he noted that conservatism had shifted, allowing conservatives to attack progressives.
