The Coupang Play comedy show "SNL Korea" captivated viewers with the outstanding performance of its exceptionally charming fifth host, Hyun Bong-sik.
"SNL Korea" on Coupang Play is a certified number one real comedy show in South Korea created by a super host who reserves the "meme star" spot as soon as they rise to fame and a crew known for their maximum comedy prowess.
On the evening of May 3, Saturday, at 8 p.m., Hyun Bong-sik appeared as the dapper "style icon" in the fifth episode of season 7 of Coupang Play's comedy show "SNL Korea" and opened the show with the line, "I will gift you a night full of laughter as much as many people have supported me." Displaying a bold determination, he delivered peak comedic energy in subsequent segments through surprising transformations and fearless acting challenges, giving viewers a perfect "fun Saturday" experience.
In a parody of the movie "Shinsegae," Hyun Bong-sik transformed into a 7-year-old kindergarten student "Hyun Bo-ram," with the English name "Dorothy," debuting with an unforgettable shocking visual that provoked laughter from the very beginning. Engaging in a competitive hierarchy of kindergarten with Jung Sang-hoon, Hyun Bong-sik fully navigated various challenges while merging the "chick" look with a rough film noir tone, showcasing high-level acting skills. Particularly, the horrifyingly gruesome "Love’s Hachu-Ping" dance that adorned the finale has become a hot topic as Hyun Bong-sik’s potential truly burst forth.
Hyun Bong-sik, who also appeared as Lee Soo-ji's harmless "male friend," triggered viewers' dolphin reactions with his "performance set." He captivated Lee Soo-ji by cleaning up the chicken she had eaten down to the last bite and claimed he would make her sujebi while donning an apron over his bare body, ramping up viewers' dopamine levels with a tough yet sexy presence. His performance added a new repertoire of "19+ acting" with moves that were hard to watch sober but subtly alluring.
While ramping up the laughter explosion, Hyun Bong-sik culminated his transformation as "Judo Girl Hyun Bong-soon." The adorable judo practitioner, wearing a cute headband and a warm smile, plunged viewers into chaos with her extraordinary visuals, and true to her background as a judo athlete, she showcased stunning judo techniques such as swift carries and throws, eliciting admiration. In a bittersweet situation where she needed to prove her girlhood to reporter Shin Dong-yeob, Hyun Bong-sik's remarkable acting and improvisation created thrilling moments of comedic brilliance.
Hyun Bong-sik expressed his overwhelming joy, saying, "I never knew it would be this happy to hear laughter behind the stage. I started my acting career in 2013, and I think today's happiness is going to be hard to forget." He also expressed gratitude to the crew for their exquisite reactions to his performance.
Meanwhile, episode 6 of season 7 of the Coupang Play comedy show "SNL Korea," hosted by actress Moon Chae-won, will be released on May 10, Saturday, at 8 p.m. Season 7 of "SNL Korea" can be experienced exclusively on Coupang Play, and applications for on-site audience participation are available through Coupang Club.
