Actor Ha Jung-woo properly opened the door to Coupang Play‘s ‘SNL Korea’ Season 7. With his acting spirit that put everything down, he presented unforgettable laughter-filled scenes.

Ha Jung-woo appeared as the host of the first episode of Coupang Play’s ‘SNL Korea’ Season 7, which was released at 8 PM on Saturday the 5th, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he left behind a masterpiece of a lifetime of comedy, proving his reputation as a ‘ten million actor’ by naturally pulling off laughter-inducing acting of various genres.

Ha Jung-woo drew cheers from the moment he appeared in the opening with an unrealistic aura that was like a scene from a movie. He transformed into serial killer Ji Young-min in the movie ‘The Chaser’ and carried out an unexpected ‘Laugh-Out’ challenge with Shin Dong-yup, who stimulated him, and then made people laugh with his bold self-parody of Ha Jung-woo‘s representative works, including ‘Tunnel’ and ‘Lobby’.

Ha Jung-woo, who took on the challenge of ‘YouTuber Jung-woo’, showed his passion by sparing no effort to gain ‘Likes’ and ‘Subscriptions’ by attempting all the content that his subscribers want, such as mukbangs, forest shootings, and vlogs. As if that wasn’t enough, he also changed his role as a parent and got married and had a baby despite not wanting to appeal to his subscribers with his sincerity, transforming into a true YouTuber. In this process, Ha Jung-woo and Jung Yi-rang transformed from a fake couple to a real couple, and gave viewers thrilling laughter with their thrilling 19+ acting that made them sweat.

As a former and former artist who goes back and forth between actor and director, he also caught attention by presenting a parody that verified the real Ha Jung-woo. Although he is a cool fellow actor to everyone, he showed his inner desire to be recognized as a talented director when he takes the megaphone. In particular, Director Ha, who is sensitive to even the slightest word from the staff, and the appearance of the king of delicacy who compares the composition of the coffee tea set delivered to another director, caught the attention with hyper-realistic acting.

In addition, actor Lee Ji-hoon made a special appearance as an unidentified short-haired doctor who suddenly appeared in the tunnel where the accident occurred, and kept his loyalty to his college senior Ha Jung-woo. Although it was a short appearance, he showed off his shining presence that took over the studio in an instant, leaving a proper example of a special appearance.

Ha Jung-woo said, “I hope the image I showed you was fun. I‘ve always dreamed of a place like this, so I’m grateful and happy that I can make it happen,” and expressed his overwhelming feelings by saying, “I think I made a memorable day with senior Shin Dong-yup and the ‘SNL Korea’ crew.”

Meanwhile, the second episode of the Coupang Play comedy show ‘SNL Korea’ Season 7 with host Seo Ye-ji will be released on Saturday, April 12 at 8 PM. ‘SNL Korea’ Season 7 can only be found on Coupang Play, and you can apply to attend the show on-site through Coupang Club.
