The latest episode of 'SNL Korea Season 5' has been stirring up a buzz on various social media platforms and online communities.

On May 4, SNL Korea unveiled its 10th and final episode of season 5, receiving rave reviews. One segment, in particular, parodying the new Netflix original series 'Parasyte: The Grey,' has been the center of attention on social media.

Actress Kim Ah Young's portrayal of Min Hee Jin has been the main topic of discussion. Kim Ah Young appeared as 'Min Hee Jin,' an employee at an apparel company, who defended herself against accusations of being a Parasyte monster.

During her defense, Kim Ah Young replicated Min Hee Jin's latest press conference, perfectly parodying the situation.

Donning the same outfit that Min Hee Jin wore, Kim Ah Young repeated the remarks that Min Hee Jin said, such as 'Gaejuhssi' (a derogative term for middle-aged men).

In the segment, when she dons the blue LA Dodgers hat, she exudes confidence, but without the hat, she becomes super gentle.

Many netizens were impressed with the accurate portrayal done by Kim Ah Young and loved this latest episode. Korean netizens commented:

"Where did she even find those clothes?"

"As expected, that person lol."

"She's so good at acting."

"Come directly at me."
