An unusual new crew member has appeared on Coupang Play’s comedy show ‘SNL Korea Season 7’.

Cha Kyung-eun, Jo Min-kyung, and Arata Momoko joined the program after overcoming fierce competition.

‘SNL Korea’ is the number one real comedy show in Korea, created by a super special host who reserves the spot of ‘meme star’ as soon as he gets popular and a ‘trustworthy’ crew with maximum laughter fighting power.

The three new crew members are showing off their outstanding performances in every episode.They are stealing the show with their talents that perfectly blend in with ‘SNL Korea’ to the point where it’s hard to believe they’re a new crew.

The main poster, which was previously covered with question marks and raised curiosity, also focused attention by revealing the faces of the three new crew members.

Cha Kyung-eun impressed viewers with her parody acting that perfectly researched reality, from a department store employee who only repeats the same answer to a writer for ‘SNL Korea’ who vents her grievances about political satire.

Continuing the momentum, in the Seo Ye-ji episode, she appeared as Kwon Hyuk-soo’s blind date girl and showed off her innocent charm, and in her transformation into a ‘palanggui’ reporter who is pathologically conscious of controversy and suspicion, she put on an action-packed performance that had viewers laughing out loud.

Cha Kyung-eun, who has been in the spotlight as a face with both good and evil appearing in dramas, movies, and commercials, said, “I am honored to be able to join ‘SNL Korea,’ which I have longed for,” and added, “I will continue to do my best.”

Jo Min-kyung, who left a strong impact as a ‘rodent character’, played the role of ‘Ji Ye-eun trainer’ while controlling her ‘anger management disorder’ as a cat, and then burst into a huge hit from her first appearance as a sensitive wife who makes her husband Kim Won-hoon, who is suffering from political conflict, unable to move.

Jo Min-kyung, who has previously gained diverse experience by acting as a lead actor in short films, is surprising everyone with her ability to quickly penetrate the audience without showing any signs of nervousness despite being a new member of the crew.Regarding this, Jo Min-kyung expressed her determination by saying, “I still can’t believe that I am participating in the best live show in Korea.I will be active as a new blood that will convey energy.”

Japanese-born Momoko Arata caught the attention of viewers with her shy yet bold expressions of adult content.

In the role of ‘Reporter Momoko’, who came to Korea because she liked it, she showed her strong charm by pretending not to understand when asked a question that was disadvantageous to her despite her good command of Korean, or on the contrary, not hesitating to use foul language when asked a tantalizing story.

As an all-round entertainer who is active as an actor and model in Japan, attention is focused on what kind of performance she will show as the only foreigner.Arata Momoko said, “It feels like a dream to be able to appear on the most famous comedy show in Korea.I will work hard to bring fresh laughter.”
