HAN Dong-hoon, a leading presidential contender and former chair of South Korea’s ruling People Power Party, became the talk of the nation this week ahead of an appearance alongside his doppelganger on SNL Korea – the local adaptation of American sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live.
The buzz started Tuesday when Han posted a photo on Facebook with comedian Jung Sung-ho, known for his spot-on impersonations of the candidate. In the image, Jung mimics Han’s signature hairstyle, glasses, and gestures as the two share an awkward glance inside a convenience store. The segment had not yet aired as of press time, but the photo ignited chatter across social media and news platforms.
