🎥 "SNL Korea: Kim Won-hoon and Jung Yi-rang quarrel at an anger management support group.” Meet the Characters

Kim Won-hoon

In the context of an "anger management support group," Kim Won-hoon plays the hottest-tempered and bluntest character. He easily gets agitated over minor things and aggressively hurls profanities at others. His rude speech and knee-jerk reactions provide intense comedic moments, and his constant picking fights with others amplify the situation's absurdity. Though his behavior is rough, it’s portrayed humorously, enhancing the overall comedic tone of the show.

 

Jung Yi-rang

When she hears something disagreeable, she fiercely confronts others, especially clashing head-on with Kim Won-hoon. Her iconic line, “Ah-ha, then why did you write it here if it's not available?” delivered with a sly tone, elicits big laughs from the audience. While she appears calm on the surface, she is quick to explode emotionally, creating an unexpected intensity that makes her character particularly engaging.

 

Ahn Young-mi

Another member of the support group, Ahn Young-mi is known for her exaggerated emotions and unique intonation. Her wild expressions and bizarre reactions leave a strong impression. Often going beyond the confrontations between other characters, her unpredictable antics escalate the absurdity. Her signature over-the-top acting, well known from variety shows, is used to full effect in this role.

 

Jung Sang-hoon

Jung Sang-hoon plays the seemingly stable figure who tries to lead the group. While initially appearing rational and composed, he eventually loses control of his emotions, revealing an ironic twist in his character. He often attempts to mediate between others but gets emotionally involved. His sly, deadpan delivery adds another layer of humor and elevates the scene’s comedic quality.
