About Kim Bo-eun
Kim Bo-eun is a South Korean stand-up comedian and stage actress, and a member of the women's stand-up comedy crew Bloody Funny. She has said that, unlike acting from a script written by someone else, stand-up comedy let her talk about material she wrote herself and about her own life, which is what drew her to join the crew, and her sets often draw on what it is like for a woman to work as a stage actress. Bloody Funny was founded in late 2018 by comedian Choi Jung-yoon, who wanted to "gather funny women together," together with comedian Choi Ye-na, and the crew held its first show on January 19, 2019, going on to be recognized as Korea's first all-women stand-up comedy team. The group has described its guiding idea as comedy that gives "the biggest laugh with the least amount of hurt," aiming its jokes upward rather than at the vulnerable. Kim was among the members profiled together in a 2020 Kyunghyang Shinmun feature on the crew.
