Coupang Play's comedy show 'SNL Korea' is generating a hot response by introducing the new crew members for its unusual season 7: Cha Kyung-eun, Jo Min-kyung, and Arata Momoko. Attention is drawn to whether they will also showcase a distinct presence like the second coming of Joo Hyun-young, Kim Ah-young, and Yoon Ga-i.
Coupang Play's 'SNL Korea' is a nationally recognized top real comedy show made by super hosts who secure a 'meme star' spot as soon as they emerge, along with a crew with maxed-out humor combat power.
After breaking through intense competition and gaining attention even before their debut, the new crew members Cha Kyung-eun, Jo Min-kyung, and Arata Momoko have begun to reveal their distinct contributions in each episode. Remarkably integrating into 'SNL Korea,' they are captivating the audience with their talents, making it hard to believe they are new crew members. The main poster, which previously raised questions, also drew focus by featuring the faces of the three new crew members.
Cha Kyung-eun made her mark with parody performances that perfectly depict reality, ranging from a department store employee who repeats the same answers to a writer for 'SNL Korea' expressing frustrations about political satire. Continuing her momentum, she appeared in an episode with Seo Yea-ji as Kwon Hyuk-soo's blind date, showcasing her pure charm, and in her transformation as a 'swaying' reporter conscious of controversies and suspicions, she delivered performances that had the audience in stitches. Cha Kyung-eun, who has been recognized for her presence in dramas, films, and advertisements with a face embodying both good and evil, expressed her honor in being able to participate in 'SNL Korea,' stating, 'I will do my best moving forward.'
Jo Min-kyung, who left a strong impact as a 'rodent character,' first appeared as a sensitive wife who controls 'anger management issues' with a cat, while making her husband Kim Won-hoon, who is going through political turmoil, unable to move. Having previously acted as a leading actress in short films and gathering diverse experiences, Jo Min-kyung has infiltrated the show without showing any signs of nervousness, creating amazement. Jo Min-kyung stated, 'I still can't believe that I am part of the best live show in Korea. I will work to bring fresh energy.'
Arata Momoko, a Japanese national, caught the audience's attention with her bold expressions despite her shyness. In her role as 'Momoko reporter' who came to Korea because she loves it, she expertly speaks Korean but feigned ignorance over unfavorable questions or didn't hesitate to use vulgar language when intriguing stories arose, displaying her powerful charm. As a versatile entertainer currently active in Japan as an actress and model, all eyes are on what performance she will bring as the only foreigner. Arata Momoko mentioned, 'It feels like a dream to be able to appear on the most famous comedy show in Korea. I will strive to deliver fresh laughter.'
Especially known as a gateway for stars, 'SNL Korea' has produced rookie female entertainers' awards at the Cheng Long Series Awards for three consecutive years with talents like Joo Hyun-young, Kim Ah-young, and Yoon Ga-i, and has a reputation as a platform for discovering new talents. There are high expectations for the performances of the new crew members Cha Kyung-eun, Jo Min-kyung, and Arata Momoko in season 7, as they aim to elevate Ji Ye-eun into the ranks of 'trending celebrities.'
Meanwhile, 'SNL Korea' season 7, featuring Cha Kyung-eun, Jo Min-kyung, and Arata Momoko, can be seen exclusively on Coupang Play, with the third episode featuring host Yoon Kyung-ho set to be released on the 19th at 8 p.m. Audience attendance can be applied for through Coupang Club.
