Jung Young-jun, the head of Metacomedy, recognizes a gap in the Korean comedic landscape, which has seen a decline in dedicated comedy stars. He expresses a vision of creating an unprecedented comedy superstar in Korea, emphasizing the need for a focus on comedy that stands apart from the traditional transition into entertainment. He believes there is a significant public demand for comedy stars, which his new academy aims to fulfill.

The Metacomedy Academy, opening in March, will serve as a platform for nurturing new comedic talent, addressing the current lack of structured training for aspiring comedians in Korea. The academy will offer a year-long program that includes development of creative ideas, voice training, acting, and various comedy genres such as stand-up and sketch comedy. The curriculum is designed to provide practical stage experience, setting it apart from traditional comedy training that focuses strictly on standardized paths for success.

Jung emphasizes the importance of creative expression in comedy and states that the academy will not impose rigid rules or formulas for achieving success. Instead, the idea is to foster creativity and help aspiring comedians discover their unique voices. With the involvement of experienced comedians from Metacomedy as instructors, the academy aims to revitalize the Korean comedy scene by empowering the next generation of comedy talent to reach their full potential without being confined to conventional industry standards.
