Actor Bae Seung-woo will appear as the host for Season 7 of Coupang Play's 'SNL Korea'.
On the 14th, the production team of the variety show 'SNL Korea' announced, "Actor Bae Seung-woo will appear as the host for Episode 8 of Season 7."
Bae Seung-woo, who debuted in 1999 with the musical 'Witch Hunt', has gained great love as an actor showcasing a wide acting spectrum across various genres through dramas like 'Live' and films such as 'The King', 'The Drug King', 'Ansi Fortress', and 'Metamorphosis'.
However, he faced controversy after being caught drunk driving in November 2020. Bae Seung-woo was stopped during a drunk driving checkpoint after having drinks with acquaintances in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam, Seoul. His blood alcohol concentration was over 0.08%, which is a level that leads to license cancellation.
As a result, he had to leave the SBS drama 'Fly, Dragon' midway and stepped down from all his projects. He made his official return to the public eye at the Netflix 'The Eight Show' production presentation last year after four years. He also met viewers again through Disney Plus's 'The Lighting Store' in the same year.
As he makes his return to variety shows this time, attention is focused on whether Bae Seung-woo can confront the controversy head-on through 'SNL Korea'.
