Broadcaster Haha is expanding his presence as a YouTube content creator through his channel 'Haha PD,' with his 'Busan Expedition' series achieving over 11 million cumulative views. This content has also been featured on KBS 2TV's 'Boss in the Mirror,' highlighting the unique dynamic and humorous 'equity battle' between Haha and the comedians Park Young-jin, Yang Sang-guk, and Kim Won-hyo.

The 'Busan Expedition' creates content centered on Busan's local food and characteristics, demonstrating significant success.

The cast often turns Haha's critiques into impromptu skits, showcasing a dynamic beyond typical producer-performer relationships.

Local bloggers have been inspired by Haha's YouTube content, with some visiting specific locations like the Yeongdo Sanghoe at Busan's Jagalchi Market's Sindonga Hoe Center after watching the series. This indicates that 'Busan Expedition' not only provides entertainment but also promotes local tourism. Viewers generally respond positively to the cast's candid and witty interactions.
