Park Ju-hyun Brings Wild Laughs to “SNL Korea Reboot” as AI Babe, Drunk Y2K Girl & More
Park Ju-hyun’s takin’ over the “SNL Korea Reboot” stage tonight, May 31st at 8 PM, and she’s bringin’ serious heat. Coupang Play dropped some teaser stills of the ninth episode, hypin’ fans up for what looks like one wild ride. From messy Y2K party girl to AI sweetheart, Park’s out to make the crowd lose it.
She opens strong too—just came right out and said her wish is to “curse refreshingly once,” then dropped the bold promise to “show the epitome of a ‘테스토스테론 여자’. You can feel her confidence from the jump, and the live audience is gonna eat it up.
And wait ‘til you see her costume game. She’s fully decked out in old-school delinquent student vibes with head-to-toe analog Y2K fashion. In another skit, she turns into this cutesy “Full House”-style princess and locks eyes with Kwon Hyuk-soo, giving him the full aegyo treatment. Major meme potential right there.
She’s even got a gig as Kim Won-hoon’s humanoid girlfriend, showing off not just the visuals but tons of charm. But it doesn’t stop there—Jung Sang-hoon’s back as AI robot “Giga-Hooni”, and their scenes together are expected to be pure gold. Fans who loved “Giga-Hooni” last season are in for a treat.
Another moment that caught attention? Park Ju-hyun cross-dressing as a guard captain tryna win over King Shin Dong-yeop. Her shift between goofy and serious is on point, and even improv king Shin gave her a thumbs-up for the way she nailed the little stuff for big laughs. That’s some method acting right there.
Word is, she totally threw herself into every sketch—no holding back. Whether it was a cringe-fest or super synced humor, Park Ju-hyun had the whole crew and crowd cracking up with her wild energy and fearless comedy chops.
Episode 9’s out only on Coupang Play, where “SNL Korea Reboot” Season 7 is streamin’ exclusively. Wanna be part of the live crowd? You can still apply through Coupang Play Club. The show calls itself Korea’s number one real comedy show—and honestly, with this kind of cast and host power, they might not be wrong.
