Satire, selfies, and 'SNL': Korean presidential hopefuls dive into entertainment politics

기사 요약: 대선 앞두고 엔터테인먼트에 뛰어드는 후보자들, 풍자, 셀카, SNL을 섭렵하며 표심 공략

[1] 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 the sketch comedy show "Saturday Night Live".

contender: 후보자

talk of the nation: 장안의 화제

[2] 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.

spot-on: 딱 맞는, 정확한

impersonation: 흉내

[3] “The broadcaster approached us first,” said an official from Han’s campaign. “With the election coming up, they clearly saw ratings potential. Han also saw it as a good opportunity for exposure. Especially with satire, you can’t avoid politically sensitive themes — and if you can’t avoid them, sometimes the best strategy is to confront them head-on.”

exposure: 알려짐

satire: 풍자

head-on: 정면으로
