Broadcasters Lee Su-ji, Ji Ye-eun, and Kim Kyu-won, affiliated with CP Entertainment, are making their mark as core crew members on Coupang Play's comedy show 'SNL Korea' Season 8.

◆ "Different Class": Lee Su-ji, the Top Trending Star, Sparks the 'Manager Su-ji' Mania

Lee Su-ji is demonstrating her presence as the undisputed 'heart of SNL Korea.' Since the release of Season 8, she has secured the number one spot in Good Data Corporation's Fundex V-Drama Viewer Trending Index for four consecutive weeks, proving her irreplaceable class. Lee perfectly replicates boundless characters every week, earning admiration from viewers.

In particular, 'Manager Su-ji' featured in the 'Smile Clinic' segment is considered the pinnacle of Lee Su-ji's acting career. With details that seem to have been transferred exactly—her manager's tone of voice, which anyone might have encountered at least once, the subtle twitch of her lips, and even her gaze—she provokes a chillingly relatable resonance among viewers. Lee, who controls the tension of the entire segment and leads the atmosphere, is garnering the public's absolute trust: "If Lee Su-ji appears, just trust and watch."

◆ "I'm not even N-Ryu~": Ji Ye-eun Expands Her Presence Beyond 'MZ Youngest' to 'Senior Charm'

Ji Ye-eun also continues to show distinct character growth every week, firmly establishing her presence as a 'core crew member' of 'SNL Korea.' Loved as the youngest in the LINE group until last season, she has expanded her character this season into a more seasoned senior position, skillfully portraying the role and broadening her acting spectrum.

In 'Smile Clinic,' while enduring a harsh 'mirror therapy' by observing the brazen attitudes of newly joined Gen Z crew members, she vividly depicts the struggles of the 'sandwich generation' still being bullied by their boss, all in Ji Ye-eun's unique style, eliciting laughter. Furthermore, beyond the impact of popularizing Lee Su-ji (Head)'s line "I'm not even N-Ryu~" as a nationwide catchphrase, she is simultaneously driving the segment's realism and trending status with detailed acting that oscillates between boldness and timidity.

◆ Ambitious Section Chief Kim Kyu-won, Challenging Manager Su-ji, Birth of a 'New Trending Powerhouse'

Kim Kyu-won, who steals attention with just her expressions and gestures, is the 'scene-stealer' who has shown the most dazzling growth this season. Throughout the season, she has acted as a likable character, achieving perfect harmony with all crew members. With her quick-witted ad-libs and detail-oriented acting closely tied to reality, she continues to raise viewers' laughter ratings every week.

In 'Smile Clinic,' she effectively promoted herself as the counseling section chief, revealing a plot twist that challenges Manager Su-ji's position, firmly establishing her presence as a full-fledged protagonist. The tense back-and-forth remarks and realistic power struggles with Lee Su-ji, the icon of real-life bosses, have also become more diverse, drawing attention. Based on these performances, Kim Kyu-won, who recently entered the top five in Fundex's trending rankings, has emerged as a new trending powerhouse whose next appearance is eagerly awaited every week.
