1. [Recap] Saturday Night Live Korea, Episode 1 – Poking Fun at Politics
Dec 10, 2011 · Granted, the current Lee Myung Bak administration has been sliding in public support and some Korean media has already labeled him “lame duck ...
Saturday Night Live (SNL) Korea” finally aired its inaugural episode last weekend, and I have to admit I was more than ecstatic to see my favorite U.S. comedy show air in Korea. It did a pretty good job of living up to the “SNL” name with a lot of political/cultural parodies. Kim Joo Hyuk also did a flawless job of running the show live as the first host. Before the show, I was skeptical of seeing much political jokes because a) Korea’s a very conservative society and b) Just recently Rep. Kang Yong Suk filed a defamation lawsuit against a KBS “Gag Concert” comedian for making political jokes on air.

I wouldn’t say the show had as many funny skits, but it was definitely refreshing to see so many political satire in a country that is still relatively new to the concept. Subtle political jokes ran throughout the show and I can’t wait to see what they’ll bring to the table next week! Favorite Sketch: After Kim Joo Hyuk’s introductory monologue, we move to the writing team’s office at the SNL Korea headquarters. The team leader is upset with one of the writers’ script. “Are you trying to sink this show?” He moves on to the next writer, and asks him, “Who the hell wrote about the government hearing?” The writer says he just wrote it as an experiment, but the leader gets mad again and asks if he wants to see the show shut down. “Why the hell would yo...

Treading precariously on the fault line of socially accepted norms, satire often becomes a source of controversy. “Saturday Night Live Korea” -- running since 2011 with a three-year break before it was rebooted in 2021 -- enjoys the distinction of being the longest-running international adaptation of the iconic US show, and is appreciated by fans for its weekly satirical commentary on current affairs.
