Actress Moon Chae Won is stepping out of her comfort zone and into the spotlight in a whole new way. 

She is taking on a bold challenge as the sixth host of 'SNL Korea' Season 7, Coupang Play’s popular live comedy show. This marks a fresh departure from her signature pure image.

Coupang Play confirmed on April 29 that Moon will headline an upcoming episode, bringing her talents to Korea’s only live sketch comedy series. Known for her emotionally rich performances in both period and modern dramas, her upcoming appearance signals a major shift from the graceful and soft-spoken roles she is best known for.

Moon Chae Won made her acting debut in the 2007 drama 'Mackerel Run' and quickly gained attention for her elegant looks and steady on-screen presence. She rose to fame through 'Brilliant Legacy' and continued to build an impressive résumé with roles in 'The Princess' Man,' 'The Innocent Man,' 'Good Doctor,' 'Flower of Evil,' and 'Payback: Money and Power,' showcasing her range across various genres.

Her film career took off with 'War of the Arrows,' which attracted over 7.4 million viewers and earned her Best New Actress awards at both the 'Grand Bell Awards' and the 'Blue Dragon Film Awards.' This success established her as a standout actress in historical films.

Now, she is ready to bring that same passion and precision to comedy. “I’ve always loved exploring new genres and projects, so I’m really excited and happy to take on another challenge with 'SNL Korea,'” she said. “Comedy is a tough genre to pull off, but I hope to express my own playful energy through nuanced emotions and a fresh character.”

Fans are looking forward to seeing a completely new side of Moon Chae Won, proving once again why she remains one of Korea’s most versatile and trusted performers.
