‘SNL Korea 5’ Im Siwan “I will use my comedy instincts” Starting the new season together [Official statement]

(Xports News Reporter Oh Seung-hyeon) ‘SNL Korea’ returns with a new season.

Production of season 5 of ‘SNL Korea’ has been confirmed. The first host of the new season is Im Si-wan, a popular actor who made the entire country laugh and cry as ‘Jang Byung-tae’ from ‘Boys’ Generation.’

Coupang Play’s comedy show ‘SNL Korea’, which has led the trend with unstoppable satire and unstoppable parody and has repeatedly ranked first in the OTT show category every season, has become the center of attention in Korea every episode with the best comic performances of its top hosts.

In particular, last season’s young crew members such as Kim A-young and Yoon Ga-i’s delicious Seoul dialect acting and Ji Ye-eun’s ‘Lantern Girlfriend’ character were greatly loved by the MZ generation, producing various memes and parodies.

Among these, Season 5 of ‘SNL Korea’ is expected to return with powerful catharsis and laughter that are even more upgraded than before.

Actor Im Si-wan, who shows off his irreplaceable acting skills through various character transformations in each work he appears in, will be in charge of the first episode of Season 5. Im Si-wan received a lot of love for his friendly charm as Jang Byeong-tae, an Onyang loser who became Buyeo jjang overnight, in the Coupang Play box office hit ‘Boys’ Generation’, which achieved a vertical rise of 2,914% in viewership.

Im Si-wan will not only use his native Chungcheong dialect, which he learned while studying abroad, but will also show off the sly comic potential he showed through ‘Boys’ Generation.’

Im Siwan said, “It is a great honor to be invited to host the first episode of the new season of ‘SNL Korea.’ I received so much love as ‘Jang Byeong-tae’ from ‘Boys’ Generation’ that the character of my life was born. “Through season 5 of ‘SNL Korea,’ I will show off all of my comedic instincts that I showed in ‘Boys’ Generation’ on stage,” he said.

The release date of the first episode of Season 5 of the Coupang Play comedy show ‘SNL Korea’ will be announced soon.
