Coupang Play’s comedy show Saturday Night Live Korea returns on the 28th with Season 8 — and it’s already sparking buzz. K-ent legend Tak Jae-hoon, famous for his no-filter wit, will kick things off as the first host with a bold, scene-stealing comeback. After co-leading multiple shows with Shin Dong-yup in the past, Tak is set to step back onto the Saturday Night Live Korea stage for the first time in about a decade, promising even more unrestrained laughs.
Saturday Night Live Korea is the flagship sketch show that consistently dominates headlines with fearless satire and boundary-pushing comedy — and this season is doubling down on punchy, straight-to-the-point humor. The core cast is back in force, including Shin Dong-yup, Jung Sang-hoon, Jung Sung-ho, Kim Min-kyo, Ahn Young-mi, Jung Yi-rang, Lee Soo-ji, Kwon Hyuk-soo, Kim Won-hoon, Ji Ye-eun, and Kim Gyu-won, who will deliver polished, high-energy stages.
New cast additions are also teased, raising expectations. With the show cemented as a star-making platform — repeatedly producing Best New Actor winners at the Blue Dragon Series Awards — all eyes are on whether fresh faces will join this season.
Armed with a supercharged lineup and gutsier sketches, Saturday Night Live Korea Season 8 is poised to shake up weekend variety once again. Tak Jae-hoon’s episode drops at 8 p.m. on the 28th, exclusively on Coupang Play.
