SNL Korea Season 7 Finale: Yook Sung-jae’s Comedy Spectacle
Yook Sung-jae’s Stunning Transformation on SNL Korea
A Comedy Extravaganza with Yook Sung-jae
The popular Coupang Play comedy show, ‘SNL Korea’, wrapped up its electrifying seventh season with none other than Yook Sung-jae as the finale host. Known for his versatility as an entertainer, Yook Sung-jae wowed viewers with his impeccable comedic timing, proving once again his status as a ‘hexagon artist’.
A Stand-Out Performance
In the 10th episode aired on June 7th, Yook Sung-jae’s comic prowess was on full display. Ditching his idol image for a series of hilariously provocative sketches, his performances were not only funny but also showcased a new side of his talent. From the very start, his boyish charm captivated audiences as he promised to deliver a performance worthy of the roaring reception he received.
Comedic Highlights
In one memorable skit, Yook Sung-jae, asked whether he would choose to be an idol or an actor, cleverly responded, “I’ll choose ‘and'”, which drew laughter from the crowd and crew alike. Additionally, his playful show of loyalty in the ‘balancing game’, choosing to live as a penniless Yook Sung-jae over receiving 10 billion won to live as a fellow crew member, further cemented his place as a crowd favorite.
In a standout sketch dubbed ‘The Trainee Captain’, Yook Sung-jae dons the role of an idol trainee trying out for a pilot position. His hilarious portrayal—complete with a sexy dance tutorial on seatbelt fastening—created an uproarious atmosphere akin to a fan meeting onboard.
A Show of Range and Adaptability
From rugged transformations involving facial hair and long locks for revenge training to reverting back to his flawless idol image, Yook Sung-jae oscillated between extremes effortlessly. His dual role, which saw him playing both a tough, testosterone-fueled character and a flower-boy idol, kept audiences on their toes and showcased his vast acting range.
The Crew’s Gratitude and Future Hope
The entire cast and crew of ‘SNL Korea’ expressed a heartfelt appreciation for the season’s journey. Veteran comedian Shin Dong-yup thanked the viewers and team, citing the show as the happiest comedy experience. Similarly, Lee Soo-ji and Kim Kyu-won acknowledged the tireless efforts of the crew behind the scenes through their sentimental farewell messages.
Yook Sung-jae, overwhelmed by gratitude, shared, “I am glad we could bring laughter. Thanks to the crew, I was able to give my all.”
‘SNL Korea’ Season 7, including all 10 episodes, is now available on Coupang Play for viewers to relive the comedy magic.
