Coupang Play’s comedy series SNL Korea returns stronger with Season 8 on March 28. The season opener will be hosted by 57-year-old Tak Jae‑hoon, known for his no‑filter delivery and his self-styled "dolsing" (recently divorced) persona.
SNL Korea has dominated Korea’s comedy conversation each week, driven by A-list guests and a trusted ensemble that delivers bold, provocative humor.
Tak Jae‑hoon has built a singular career across music and variety TV and carries monikers like "no‑filter master," "king of zingers," and "hitmaker." Once a core cast member alongside Shin Dong‑yup, he returns to Coupang Play to open the season after a decade away. Fans are eager to see how he and the crew will play off one another.
Season 8 promises a more direct, daring brand of comedy. The irreplaceable ensemble — Shin Dong‑yup, Jung Sang‑hoon, Jung Sung‑ho, Kim Min‑kyo, Ahn Young‑mi, Jeong I‑rang, Lee Su‑ji, Kwon Hyuk‑soo, Kim Won‑hoon, Ji Ye‑eun and Kim Gyu‑won — reunites to deliver nonstop laughs. Having produced three consecutive Blue Dragon Series Awards winners for Best New Entertainer and established itself as a star-making platform, SNL Korea will again bring in new cast members this season. Viewers are watching to see which next-generation rising star will follow Ji Ye‑eun and the so-called "human photocopier" Kim Gyu‑won.
Season 8 premieres March 28 at 8 p.m. KST.
