'SNL Korea' drew attention this time by parodying a dating program.

Coupang Play's 'SNL Korea' Season 2 'I am a Single's Inferno' corner, which was released on January 22nd, was decorated as a parody of the NQQ·SBS PLUS entertainment program 'I am SOLO' and the Netflix original web entertainment "Single's Inferno".

The cast showed outstanding performances by dressing up as actors on a dating program.

In particular, actor Joo Hyun Young drew admiration from viewers by playing the role of Free Zia (Song Ji Ah), a YouTuber who appeared in Netflix's "Single's Inferno".

Joo Hyun Young introduced herself as an unboxing YouTuber 'Free Zia'. The somewhat powerless tone and expression she showed, the gesture of smiling while covering her mouth as if embarrassed, and the dialect were reminiscent of Free Zia.

When Lee Dong Hwi, who appeared as a 'SNS addict' in the self-introduction of 'Free Zia', asked, "What are you doing?" Joo Hyun Young answered, "Your heart?"

Joo Hyun Young chose Lee Dong Hwi and said, "Shall we eat ramen together with me". She also replied, "I'm ashamed," and reproduced the dialect of Free Zia, bringing laughter. She perfectly acted 'Youtuber' by introducing ramen in front of the camera.

Viewers on Coupang Play’s YouTube account said, “The fact that Free Zia’s dialect is coming out, wow… the detailing is amazing”, “The setting with Joo Hyun Young’s eyes half open is so funny. The genius of character analysis”, “Joo Hyun Young almost spit out the coffee she drank as soon as she saw Free Zia”, “Joo Hyun Young’s fingertips The feeling of fiddling with her head without strength is completely the same.” “Joo Hyun Young copies a real person hahahaha The feeling and the way she speaks are strangely similar,” they added, admiring her acting skills.

Meanwhile, Free Zia recently admitted to some suspicions of wearing fake luxury goods and posted a handwritten apology on SNS.

Season 2 of 'SNL Korea' will be exclusively released on Coupang Play every Saturday at 10 PM.

Former AOA member Kwon Min Ah—who opened up in the past about being bullied—has once again shared a deep and emotional message on social media, leaving fans feeling concerned and sending love.

On April 23, Min Ah took to her Instagram to write:
“I don’t know if I’ve become completely twisted, or if I’m just scared. Maybe I’m afraid the same thing will happen again. Everything feels scary. And I want to say something sharp to myself too—get it together.”

Along with the message, she posted a selfie where she wore a red knit top, had her hair half-up, and showed a soft pout with a calm expression. Though her outfit and style looked casual, the mood of her words felt heavy.

Fans aren’t sure if Min Ah was directing the message toward someone else or simply speaking to herself. The final line, “get it together,” sounds like a tough love reminder to herself—but also makes many wonder what she’s been going through recently.

People quickly filled the comment section with supportive messages, telling her to stay strong and reminding her she’s not alone.

Min Ah debuted with AOA in 2012 and left the group in 2019. In 2020, she made headlines when she revealed that she had been bullied during her time in the group. The confession caused a huge reaction in the K-pop world, leading to conversations about idols’ mental health and group dynamics.

Recently, she surprised fans when it was revealed she began working as a manager at a dermatology clinic, showing a new side of her life outside of the entertainment spotlight.

Fans continue to cheer her on, hoping she finds peace and happiness in whatever path she chooses next.
