Golden Fishery - The Knee-Drop Guru

The Knee-Drop Guru (Korean: 무릎팍 도사) first aired on January 3, 2007. Initially, it was just a special New Year program. However, it became popular and became a regular segment in February that year and is still loved by many people. The segment ended on October 12, 2011 due to the temporary retirement of Kang Ho-dong.

The Knee-Drop Guru is a talk show with a unique premise. According to the theme, clients (celebrity guests) visit The Knee-Drop Guru to discuss about their problems and to seek advices from him. The talk show is known for having famous or controversial guests. Some of the celebrities even volunteer to appear on the show to clarify rumors about them. The Knee-Drop Guru features a variety of guests from celebrities to cultural and political figures. The show appeals to many viewers because of the hosts' harsh, sensitive and honest questions and comments.

The Knee-Drop Guru (Kang Ho-dong) supposedly listens to the guests’ problems and solves them. His name indicates that he knows everything before the clients kneel down in front of him. However, he actually attacks the guests with tough questions and leads the guests to talk about many unknown things about them. After all, The Knee-Drop Guru is a talk show, even though it doesn’t seem like one. The Rude Guru (Yu Sae-yoon)’s concept is "rude", just like his name. As The Knee-Drop Guru's assistant, his job is to introduce the guests’ profiles and make sensitive comments here and there. He is known for purposely amplifying the guests' controversies and simply being "rude". The Band Boy (All Lies Band) was not an original member of The Knee-Drop Guru. He actually came to play guitar and sing the theme song of The Knee-Drop God. However, the comments he rarely makes find to be so wise and hilarious that he became part of the cast.
