In the highly anticipated premiere of Season 6 of Coupang Play’s “SNL Korea,” the show delivered its signature blend of humor and satire. Hosted by Jeon Jong-seo on August 31, the episode featured a memorable parody that had fans laughing out loud.
Lee Su-ji, a comedian from SNL Korea, took to social media to promote the episode, praising the show’s crew and Jeon Jong-seo. Her post featured a playful parody of a famous photo involving HYBE Chairman Bang Si Hyuk and streamer Juice Seyeon. Lee Su-ji donned a nearly identical outfit to Juice Seyeon’s, complete with a cheeky expression.
The skit reimagined the original Beverly Hills setting, replacing it with a humorous scene at a bridge over Cheonggyecheon in Euljiro. Lee Su-ji, in character as “Yuk Jusyeon,” and her co-star Kim Kyu Won, who played a photographer, delivered a spot-on spoof of the widely discussed encounter.
Fans quickly took to social media, reacting to the parody with comments like, “The resemblance is uncanny,” and “This is seriously hilarious.” The skit’s recreation of the infamous photo was met with widespread amusement, though some viewers wondered how SNL Korea would fare after this bold parody.
The humour wasn’t lost on the audience, with comments such as, “Bang Si Hyuk’s looking kind of skinny here, HAHA,” and “Oh, Lee Su Ji looks pretty in this.” Despite the playful jabs, the parody was celebrated for its clever execution.
Meanwhile, Juice Seyeon, who had previously shared details about her outing with Bang Si Hyuk at Nobu, became a hot topic of discussion. The parody’s success demonstrates SNL Korea’s knack for turning real-life events into comedic gold, providing viewers with a fresh perspective on celebrity culture.
