Coupang Play's "SNL Korea" Season 8 welcomes actress Han Ga-in as the host ahead of the release of episode 7 at 8 PM on the 9th. In this broadcast, Han Ga-in sheds her over 20-year image as a "pure actress" and showcases a comedic transformation.

The released still cuts show her in various looks, ranging from a school uniform reminiscent of the movie "Once Upon a Time in High School" to elegant styling, reportedly challenging herself with bold acting that breaks her usual image. Han Ga-in approached the filming with the determination to "make people laugh no matter what," and her unexpected ad-libs and wholehearted performance on set captured the attention of both the production team and cast. Notably, behind the scenes, Shin Dong-yup was said to have closed his eyes during Han Ga-in's impromptu acting.

"SNL Korea" Season 8 has ranked first in popularity for seven consecutive weeks and holds the top spot in non-drama buzz. In this episode, in addition to Han Ga-in's comedic acting, popular segments attract viewers' interest with new developments. The "Smile Clinic" segment introduces a new character with a strong presence who engages in a showdown with Director Lee Su-ji, and a split between the coordination team and nursing team is also anticipated. In "Weekend Update," anchor Ahn Young-mi and intern and Gen Z reporters add realistic satire with their witty remarks, and the "MUSMA Edit Shop" segment returns to deliver continuous laughter.

"SNL Korea" has been gaining attention by boldly changing the existing images of stars, and this Han Ga-in episode is also regarded as a representative installment of Season 8.
