[+152, -20] Making fun of someone's pronunciation of another language and calling that humor is racist. In other countries, you're not allowed to joke about it anymore and is considered a banned style of comedy. Wouldn't us Koreans be mad if someone parodied a Korean person speaking in awkward English pronunciation? We'd be up in arms. So why are we still using it as humor ourselves?
[+97, -11] SNL made a mockery out of author Han Kang as well, they crossed the line
[+88, -10] It's clear SNL did zero research on why Hani was even there. No idea what they were thinking with such a racist portrayal. What an embarrassment to our country, especially knowing that we'd be just as upset if another country portrayed us in such a way.

[+71, -7] I thought they were neutral with the Meat Juice Shi Hyuk skit
[+33, -7] So sad that New Jeans doesn't even have an agency that can protect them right now. They're probably being mocked left and right like this from every side.
[+24, -2] Just one big sigh to the writers who wrote the script, to the actors who then acted it out, to the staff who sat there filming this...
[+19, -1] Should've just kept going with the Bang parodies
[+17, -1] SNL has long ignored doing actual parodies. Instead, they've been focusing on cherry picking celebrities to get themselves in the news.
