    Coupang Play's first original comedy show 'SNL Korea' will go on a 100% laugh hunt with The Host Jo Jung Suk on September 25.

    Jo Jung Suk, a strong actor who has a solid ability to dance, sing, and act, focuses attention on his outstanding ability to act and witty power as well as his great ability to play a big role.

    First, the popular drama 'Hospital Playlist', which has been successful with high ratings, will be newly created as 'SNL Korea' version. Jo Jung Suk will once again be a member of the Yulje Hospital with the members of the decomposing crew, Jung Sang-hoon, Ahn Young-mi, Kwon Hyuk-soo and Lee Soo-ji.

    In the YouTube Love Counseling Center corner, the love master YouTuber Cho Jeong-sun will be transformed into a character of Alpha Joe, a junior of the AI Acting artisan, Gigafuni, who causes the reality laughter of The Hosts, and will show off his perfect best friend, Kimi, and will convey his thorough fun. Jo Jung Suk, who has become a perfect one with SNL Korea through corners such as 'The Seungseok of Nego' where unique and brilliant acting shines and 'Spider Joe', which predicts the birth of a new hero, will target viewers' laughter buttons with his great success.

    Meanwhile, the fixed corner of 'SNL Korea', 'Wickend Update', will give a high-quality smile by delightfully drawing various social issues that are also gathering topics this week. Also, in the corner of 'Finding Our Forgotten Drinking Game', which remembers the era before Pandemic, comedian Yoon Taek will appear as a cameo and make the first row of the house into a laughing sea.

    SNL Korea, which adds fresh fun every time with the activities of the past The Hosts and the breathing of the crew members who become more sticky as the society continues, will cool off the stress of the week with the laughter that bursts out this week.

    'SNL Korea' is open to the public every Saturday at 10 pm through Coupang Play.

    BTS member Jimin made history at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS, becoming the first solo artist ever to win the prestigious Visa Fan’s Choice of the Year award.

    On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

    Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

    In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

    Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

    His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

    The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

    Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

    On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

    Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
