Voluptuous actress Lee Tae-im, 30, will host the Korean version of Saturday Night Life (SNL) next week, her agency, Henem Management, said Tuesday.
Lee will be the main host with regulars Shin Dong-yup, Yoo Sae-yoon and Ahn Young-mi.
Lee has been starring in new drama “You’ll Love Me,” six months after dropping out of all her TV shows.
These are some cautious steps she is taking after facing public scrutiny for allegedly abusing idol girl singer Kim Ye-won while recording entertainment program “My Tutor Friend” on Feb. 24. Lee was criticized for her behavior, but the situation turned in her favor when video of the moment Lee argued with Kim was disclosed a month later.
