What role could humor play in a Korean comic exploring this topic? How can it be used effectively to soften potentially tense moments?

Humor can provide levity and relatability. It could be used through situational irony – perhaps the parents' attempts at rapping are hilariously bad, highlighting their lack of understanding. Self-deprecating humor could be used by the child to diffuse tension. Visual gags can also be effective. However, humor should be handled with sensitivity to avoid trivializing the underlying emotional issues. The humor should arise from the characters’ personalities and interactions rather than at their expense.
