Answer Me 1997’s cast to host SNL Korea
by javabeans
This show’s on fire, isn’t it? I would’ve bet on tvN’s Answer Me 1997 being a cult hit with a fervent small fanbase, but it’s turning into a bona fide mainstream hit. Its leads Jung Eun-ji and Seo In-gook were recent guests on Go Hyun-jung’s talk program GoShow, and now the cast will be hosting the upcoming episode of Saturday Night Live Korea.
According to articles, it’s not clear whether every cast member will be included, but Seo In-gook is for certain; here are a couple photos of him filming what must be an Answer Me parody. He’s pictured in high school uniform with SNL cast member Oh Cho-hee, who uploaded the pics to her me2day account. Eun Ji-won (Hak-chan) and Lee Shi-un (Sung-jae) are also confirmed.
SNL Korea just kicked off its new season this past weekend, so the Answer Me crew will be in the second episode, to air on September 15. The show used to structure itself into “seasons” (airing a bunch of episodes, taking some time off, then coming back with a new set), but now it’s secured a place on tvN’s permanent schedule as a fixed program.
The format hasn’t changed much (with the SNL brand, it can’t, really), though there have been a few tweaks and cast additions since the show premiered last winter. Shin Dong-yup has been added as an MC, which I guess is like a host, except he’s not called a “host” since that word refers to the guests of the week.
One change, however: It’s now a 19+ show, meaning content is deemed appropriate for viewers over the age of 19. Ha, then they have no excuse NOT to do a porno sketch with the boys, do they?

Just watched episode 15 (and it took me all day to find one that works)...can't wait for the recaps. tvN's really my current favorite channel as they've been giving us quality dramas.
Can't wait for ep.16 next week! Off to watch Seo In-guk MVs in yt. :)

Omg lol I'm sooooo looking forward to this! I watched the ep with super junior and didn't know what to expect purely as a fan.....but it was HILARIOUS :D
Cant wait to see what they do with the cast!!
I don't think Eunji will be on...since she's still a relatively new idol...but we'll see!

Pretty please, make a recap of the episode. It´s nearly impossible to find SNL on-line somewhere, and futhermore subbed. Please with my puppy eyes.

Its been hard avoiding Answer Me 1997 while I wait for it to end so I can marathon it. So unlike everyone else I'm saying 'end it already so I can sit and watch it in one go.'
:D

These guys need more variety shows. 1n2d if possible (yeah, right!).
Hoping Jung Eun Ji will come, it won't be the same without her. I'm glad that it not only bring the 2 lead to fame but all 6 of them (and mom and dad).
I'm torn. I'm really sad its going to end next week, but can't wait to find out the ending. It was a mistake to watch the preview.

Why Eun-ji is not anticipating?I love her.Though I've never listened A-pink's music.Although Seo In-guk is cute and lovely,it was Eun-ji who pulled the role being loved by 2 bro but not damsel in distress and perfect comic timing.I didn't like her at first but she attracts me weeks after weeks.How could she do that in her first lead role?

i guess if it's rated 19+, the likelihood of jung eunji turning out for SNL is nil. sadface. would've loved to see more SIG and JEJ's crackling off-screen chemistry.
