 Korean War Conference Papers
Television is also an activity outside of and independent of the programs, such that one can decide to spend the evening watching television without having any specific program in mind.
Access to that plenitude, moreover, rendered television invaluable to citizenship, for, as the word "participation" implied, television was being imagined as an instrument of participatory democracy, allowing citizenship, undaunted by distance, unobstructed by topography, untainted by rhetorical manipulation.
Television could thus function as the site of "democracy" to the extent that "democracy"--representing what the most people had in common—was defined in opposition to "idiosyncrasy." Broadcasting nationalized the common person in every way that his or her values were common rather than unique, cliched rather than original, status quo rather than progressive.

 Urban Legends Reference Pages: Television (Fun with Dick and Joan)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
There is some truth here in that the "ch" and "j" sounds are similar in Korean, and "jaw-jee" is a bit of Korean slang that refers to the male genitalia, so the name "Chachi" could be heard as "penis" by Koreans.
These broadcasts were intended for American audiences, but of course some Koreans did see them and had the chance to chuckle over the unintended dual meaning of the name "Chachi." However, the broadcasts were not part of "regular" Korean television programming and therefore could in no way be compared to them in terms of ratings.
If the series had been presented as fare for a general Korean TV audience, surely some alterations would have been made.

Television commercials as a lagging social indicator: gender role stereotypes in Korean television advertising
Previous studies (Caballero and Solomon, 1984; Ganahl, Kim, and Netzley, 2003; Gilly, 1988; Lovdal, 1989) of gender roles in television advertising around the world have indicated that television commercials have been a lagging social indicator.
Although this model has typically been employed to explain the impact of television violence (e.g., Gerbner and Gross, 1976), it also has been applied successfully to the cultivation of attitudes toward gender roles (e.g., Signorielli, 1989).
