Humor generation is a challenging task in natural language generation that requires fluency, surprise, and cultural grounding. Although large language models (LLMs) show promise in English, little work addresses low-resource and culturally specific humor, such as in Korean. We propose **K-Humor**, a *dynamic multi-agent framework* for generating Korean jokes. Unlike static one-shot models, K-Humor integrates specialized agents for cultural awareness, audience simulation, editing, and punchline creation, which are coordinated through a dynamic iterative refinement loop. A human-data-grounded mechanism further guides the punchlines using authentic Korean jokes. Evaluation with automatic metrics, agent-internal diagnostics, LLM-as-a-judge, and human ratings shows that K-Humor consistently outperforms a single-prompt baseline and ablations in criteria such as fluency and cultural appropriateness. Although human-written jokes remain stronger overall, particularly on core creative dimensions, K-Humor demonstrates that dynamic, culturally grounded multi-agent systems can improve humor generation over standard LLM baselines in low-resource settings.

As Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used for content creation, detecting AI-generated text has become a critical challenge. Prior work has largely focused on English, leaving low-resource languages such as Korean underexplored. We propose an unsupervised detection framework that integrates two complementary signals: syntactic token cohesiveness (TOCSIN) and semantic regeneration similarity (SimLLM). To support evaluation, we construct a Korean pairwise dataset of 1,000 anchors with continuation- and regeneration-style generations and further assess performance across domains (news, research paper abstracts, essays) and model families (GPT-3.5 Turbo, GPT-4o, HyperCLOVA X, LLaMA-3-8B). Without any training, our ensemble achieves up to 0.963 F1 and 0.985 ROC-AUC, outperforming baselines. These results demonstrate that the combination of syntactic and semantic cues enables robust unsupervised detection in low-resource settings.
