Actress Park Bo-young was visibly flustered after receiving an unexpected live invitation to appear on SNL Korea from comedian and host Shin Dong-yup during the 4th Blue Dragon Series Awards handprinting ceremony on Tuesday.

The moment, streamed live via Naver's Chzzzik, occurred as Shin and Park sat side by side at the celebratory event.
Shin, who won an award for his role as host of SNL Korea on Coupang Play, used the opportunity to revive his long-standing wish to cast Park.
"Thank you, Bo-young," Shin said with a knowing smile, prompting a wave of laughter from the audience and a surprised reaction from Park.
Park, appearing caught off guard, responded playfully but cautiously. "I knew it would be rude, but I just couldn't look you in the eye," she said, laughing nervously. "I'll think hard about it."
Shin escalated the moment by turning to the camera with a grin. "Please go ahead and write the headline: 'Actress Park Bo-young Confirmed for SNL.' The timing is undecided, but she'll appear 'someday.'"
Park, giggling, gave a hesitant nod — an interaction that quickly spread across online forums and social media, sparking both amusement and controversy.
Many fans expressed excitement at the idea of the beloved actress showing a more daring, comedic side.

Others were less enthused, given SNL Korea's reputation for risqué content and adult-themed satire.
On the popular online forum theqoo, several users criticized Shin's approach and the show's tone. "Is Shin Dong-yup seriously out of his mind?" one commenter wrote.
Another added, "I really hope she never appears on it... SNL has gotten seriously bad these days."
Known for her wholesome public image and lead roles in romantic dramas, Park Bo-young has long been associated with innocence and sincerity, even serving as the face of bottled water campaigns and voter participation efforts.
A shift to the bold and often controversial humor of SNL Korea would mark a significant departure.
Park hasn't said whether she has an appearance on the show in the works, but her on-screen response has certainly piqued interest.
Her jocular exchange with Shin Dong-yup at the helm suggests that she may be unveiled under a new light soon, whether or not she goes through with it.
