Kim Sa-rang was Kim Sa-rang. Twenty years after the legendary fan meeting, and despite a four-year hiatus, his appearance turned 'SNL Korea' into a military base.
In the episode of Coupang Play 'SNL Korea 7' released on the 26th, Kim Sa-rang appeared as a host. He challenged himself in comedy acting while conducting various skits with crew members like Shin Dong-yeop.
Kim Sa-rang's grant for broadcasting is his first in four years since the TV CHOSUN broadcast 'Revenge' aired in 2021. When Kim Sa-rang appeared wearing a mini dress that revealed her chest, Kwon Hyuk-soo was speechless, and Kim Min-kyu whistled with joy. In response, Shin Dong-yeop introduced her, saying, "It's my first time feeling a military base-like vibe while beginning. It's such a pleasure to see this familiar face. The actress Kim Sa-rang, whose name alone makes my heart flutter."
While reminiscing about the legendary fan meeting held in 2005, Kim Sa-rang said, "It was such a good memory. With the gratitude from that time, I will strive to bring you laughter."
In the first segment titled 'Youth Elixir Substance,' Kim Sa-rang acted as Jung I-rang's younger self after receiving the substance. Jung I-rang, who was fired from the fitness center due to her appearance and body shape, transformed into the 20s version of Kim Sa-rang after receiving the substance. Kim Sa-rang caught the attention of both men and women with her lovely beauty and curvaceous figure. However, as 24 hours passed, Jung I-rang and Kim Sa-rang's personalities coexisted, ultimately failing the hot night with the man that she longed for.
In response, Jung I-rang received two doses of substance and returned to her teenage years. Although she became the queen bee of high school as Kim Sa-rang, her inner self remained unchanged, leaving her unprotected against the attacks of new words from Ji Ye-eun and others. Kim Sa-rang was hurt by being called "auntie" and embarrassingly blurted out outdated catchphrases like "it's totally sad" and "OTL." Ultimately, wanting youth even more, Kim Sa-rang used up all the remaining substances and hilariously transformed into Chu Sa-rang.
In the following segment 'Legendary Fan Meeting,' a parody of the fan meeting held in 2005 was presented. Kim Sa-rang appeared dressed as she did back then, flaunting unchanged beauty and physique after 20 years. She expressed her gratitude to the fans at a modest birthday party and jokingly said in the 'Of Course Not' game, "Since this fan meeting is our own memory, please do not upload photos on the internet."
In particular, while playing 'Of Course Not' with the fan club president, Kim Sa-rang was unable to answer questions like, "If I’m still not married in 20 years, let’s do it," and "Please be active in various works, not just commercials." Kim Sa-rang handled the situation, saying, "That's not easy either." As she concluded the corner, Kim Sa-rang delivered a handwritten message saying, "To all the fans who attended that fan meeting! Thank you so much. I will not forget. You will be my fans for life, right?"
Lastly, in the segment 'Bathroom Operations Time,' she played a role pushing Lee Soo-ji along with Ji Ye-eun. When the advances from men began in a bar, they resolved to help Lee Soo-ji, but Kim Sa-rang actively flirted and created steamy scenes, leading to grabbing Lee Soo-ji's neck.
After finishing her broadcast after four years, Kim Sa-rang said, "It feels like today went by in less than an hour. It felt like we filmed for about a week, but it passed in a flash. I knew comedy acting would be difficult, but I didn't think it would be this hard. The crew worked so hard that I think I will treasure 'SNL' even more. I am grateful for the way everyone was so kind despite my lack of comedy acting skills."
