In an episode of "Jjanhanhyeong," actress Ji Ye-eun candidly revealed the reason she couldn't go to church after appearing on "SNL."
On the 26th, the YouTube channel "Jjanhanhyeong" released a video titled "Kim Min-kyu Ji Ye-eun Kim Won-hoon {Jjanhanhyeong} EP.94 After drinking, filmed SNL in real life! Sapping + 2x9 full combo attempt."
That day, Ji Ye-eun confessed, "When I was preparing for the Hanlim Multi Art School entrance exam, I said I wanted to be a sitcom actress, and the professors responded, 'Who is she?'" She added that her dream of pursuing comedy had been nurtured for a long time. She continued, "I feel the greatest joy when people laugh," conveying her sincerity about acting in comedy.
However, she revealed that acting in many explicit scenes and using profanity on the broadcast led to unexpected concerns. Ji Ye-eun said, "I was originally a middle school teacher at church. But since there are many explicit scenes and a lot of swearing on the show, I eventually had to change churches," adding, "I just couldn't go. This honestly made me laugh."
Kim Won-hoon also shared an embarrassing situation, saying, "My father-in-law is a pastor, and every time I go to church, he says, 'I enjoyed watching SNL,' but since it's in church, it's a bit awkward to say thank you."
In particular, Ji Ye-eun expressed, "In scenes with suggestive humor, it felt like committing a crime. I felt uncomfortable and all kinds of thoughts came to mind," recounting her feelings at the time. She added, "Before shooting that skit, I prayed with Kim Won-hoon and went on stage," surprising everyone. In response, Kim Won-hoon said, "Now, prayer is useless. I want to enjoy it more now," eliciting loud laughter.
Meanwhile, Ji Ye-eun is gaining attention for her unique comedic sense and impressive character portrayal through "SNL Korea."
