Coupang Play's comedy show 'SNL Korea' announced the appearance of actor Hyun Bong-sik as the host for season 7, episode 5.
Coupang Play's 'SNL Korea' is a self-proclaimed number one real comedy show in Korea, featuring super hosts who reserve the 'meme star' spot and a 'reliable' crew with top-notch comedic talent.
Hyun Bong-sik, who debuted in the 2014 film 'Pirates: The Bounty Hunter,' has become a beloved 'SHIN STEEL' of Chungmuro, showcasing his talent across various screens. After appearing in the film '1987,' he garnered significant public attention, and his acting helped the film 'The Outlaws 4' reach 10 million viewers. Recently, he made his presence known in Coupang Play's series 'Office Workers' as a new assistant who just joined DY Planning, led by Shin Dong-yeob, and transformed into the role of the bride, Garcini, who captures lobby scenes and engages in eavesdropping in the film 'Lobby,' receiving continuous attention and rapidly rising in recognition.
In 'Office Workers,' he showcases his high-quality acting skills, improvisational talents, and his distinct visuals as someone born in 1984, stepping onto the path of becoming a 'meme star.' As a result, Hyun Bong-sik is expected to expand his wealth of experience and solid acting career built not only in films and dramas but also on stage into a live comedy show with 'SNL Korea,' ultimately taking his rightful place as a 'protagonist.'
Hyun Bong-sik said, "It's like a dream to imagine myself standing on the stage of the best comedy show in Korea, 'SNL Korea,' season 7, that makes my heart race just by hearing its name. I'm a bit nervous, but I will burn myself out to deliver hearty laughter together with my crew, including senior Shin Dong-yeob," expressing his strong determination.
The episode 5 of season 7 of Coupang Play's comedy show 'SNL Korea' featuring Hyun Bong-sik as the host will be available on Saturday, May 3, at 8 p.m. on Coupang Play.
