First of all, the 「Baesu's Beach Show」 held at the Culture Hall on the 9th floor of Shinsegae Department Store in Busan opened the hearts of the audience with bold skits with swear words. 'Magician of Language' Chang So-soo overwhelmed the audience with his comical makeup and outspoken talk, while Song Young-gil drew cheers with his intense visuals.

In addition, the song and rap of Kim Tae-won and Bae Ki-tak, who newly joined the team, were added to create a perfect festival atmosphere. The audience filled the happiness virus with laughter throughout the performance.
Kim Young-hee and Jung Beom-gyun's 「"Let's not be the king of communication SHOW" held at the Busan Civic Center Small Theater also received great response from the audience with a stage full of laughter. Comedian Kim Young-hee, dubbed the nation's best 'communication king', transformed into a perfect grandmother and communicated coolly with the audience through a post-it questionnaire containing daily concerns such as childcare and family. She raised the atmosphere to its peak by delivering witty remarks and sincere advice with a distinctive dialect, and as she said, "As expected, as expected, " the performance site was literally a feast of laughter. The performance, which introduced the 'GagPay' method of paying as much as you laugh, showed an audience that laughed 1,100 times, breaking the record for the most laughter in the history of 'Bukoffe'.
Kim Dong-ha, Son Dong-hoon, Song Ha-bin, Kim Joo-hwan, and Moon Ji-wan of the most honest and sophisticated comedy show, stand-up comedy Seoul Comedy Olsas 1st, gave adult audiences of various ages a hearty laugh at the Busan Bank headquarters. They captivated the audience with only one microphone and talk without any restrictions on makeup, sound or material, and exploded dopamine with a close-knit 19 gold stand-up comedy. The members heated up the audience by communicating with the audience in various topics such as religion and love with the right speech.
KT&G's Sangsang Madang Busan Live Hall held a strongest Japanese gag show over two days. Comedians Tony Kaku, Wes-P, and Koikuchi Ichigawa of Yoshimoto Heungup, Japan's largest comedy agency, performed in Korean and communicated directly with the audience for an hour, filling the stage with laughter. Toni Kaku appeared wearing only the underwear of her bottoms and performed five naked poses, as well as instant poses at the request of the audience. Wes-P caught the attention with an unimaginable Bangu performance, and Koikuchi Ichigawa drew attention with an unusual tablecloth minus challenge. Whenever the challenge was successful, the audience cheered and applauded. In particular, today's performance drew attention by Sendai Broadcasting, a quasi-key bureau affiliated with Fuji TV, visiting Busan in person to cover Tonikaku.
