Actress Moon Chae Won is under fire after a skit on “SNL Korea” Season 7 sparked outrage for its suggestive content. The episode aired on May 10, featuring the star in a controversial scene that viewers called “lewd” and “outdated.” Many are now calling for the show to be taken off air.
The skit showed Moon Chae Won visiting her childhood friend’s family home. In one scene, she asks him to lie down and caresses his bare legs. Later, she rubs her foot on his lower body, which many found inappropriate. While the show is known for its bold humor, this segment crossed the line for many viewers.
Netizens quickly took to online forums to express their anger. Comments called out the writers for relying on offensive jokes. Some questioned why Moon Chae Won agreed to the skit, while others blamed the production team for poor judgment.
