"EXchange / Transit Love" season 4 cast member Park Ji-hyun said she once auditioned for "SNL Korea."
On the 12th, a video titled "My classmate on SNL..? | Practice for the SNL audition with Smile Clinic's Ara teacher & a real-talk talk show" was posted on the YouTube channel "I'm Ji-hyun."
That day Park Ji-hyun said, "I graduated from Korea National University of Arts' acting department, after all. I came to the studio to introduce one of my classmates to you," and added, "I recently invited my classmate Ara, who appears on SNL," introducing actress Lee Ara.
Lee Ara graduated from Kaywon High School of Arts' theater and film department and the acting department of Korea National University of Arts, and after starting in web dramas in 2018 she recently joined Coupang Play's "SNL Korea reboot season 8" as a new crew member. She became known especially as Ara ssem of "Smile Clinic."
Lee Ara said of Park Ji-hyun, "Many people around me have become her fans. Since Transit Love they would say, 'If you're from Korea National University of Arts, have you seen that person?' They were surprised when I said we were classmates and raised the question of why Ji-hyun didn't receive unanimous votes early on."
Park Ji-hyun said of Lee Ara, "When we were at school I really thought highly of Ara. She is very good at comedy acting, has great sense, and good instincts. When I heard you joined the SNL crew I said that was great news,"
Lee Ara asked, "Would you consider auditioning for SNL if there were an audition?" and Park Ji-hyun confessed, "I'm sorry, but I once auditioned for SNL. I auditioned while I was with an agency. I auditioned together with Yoon Ga-i," surprising those present.
Park Ji-hyun recalled, "Of all things, the draw of the lineup..." and said, "It was an audition we took together, and it was when I was at an actor agency. I was grateful for the opportunity to audition for SNL, and though I really lacked confidence I prepared comedy acting and went. We went in together, and Ye-eun unni was on the judges' panel. The crew members were all there."
Park Ji-hyun said, "I thought I was doomed, but while watching the woman next to me I clapped. Wow, she's really crazy, she's so good. So I failed and thought SNL wasn't a place for someone like me, and then I watched the broadcast and someone came out doing something and I realized it was the person who auditioned with me. That person was Yoon Ga-i."
