Comedian Lee Su-ji, known for her appearances on MBC's 'Manito Club' and SBS's 'But Seriously', is set to star in Coupang Play's new variety show 'Sister Chicken'.
The show is scheduled to premiere on February 14 at 4 PM, and has released its main poster and teaser trailer.
'Sister Chicken' is a talk show featuring three sisters, Su-ji, Lee Rang, and Min, who run a chicken restaurant that becomes a hotspot for top celebrity guests. The show is a follow-up to 'Sister Cafe', known for its authentic sisterly chemistry between Lee Su-ji and Jung Yi-rang, promising a blend of comfort and excitement.
Joining the cast is 'monster rookie actress' Kim Min, who left a strong impression with her bold performance in 'Fine: Country Bumpkins'. This marks her first foray into variety shows, raising expectations.
The poster features the three sisters smiling in front of their restaurant, hinting at a Saturday afternoon filled with laughter and chatter. The teaser shows Lee Su-ji and Jung Yi-rang bickering, while Kim Min looks on with resignation, showcasing their close-knit chemistry.
'Soon-ja' (Lee Su-ji) and her twin sister 'Soon-i' (Jung Yi-rang) are the heart of the show. Soon-i, the elder by one minute, manages deliveries and cleaning, using club activities to cope with her workplace frustrations. Soon-ja, the social butterfly, is responsible for customer relations and has turned the restaurant into a community hub. The youngest, 'Min' (Kim Min), oversees the kitchen, bringing a unique Gen Z flair to the mix.
With the release of the poster and teaser, fans are eager to see the return of the unbeatable chemistry between Lee Su-ji and Jung Yi-rang, recognized for their viral moments in 'Sister Cafe'. Kim Min's transformation from her previous short-haired image adds intrigue to the show's new comedic formula.
Set to premiere on February 14 at 4 PM, 'Sister Chicken' will feature top Korean celebrities each week. The lively banter and chemistry among the sisters and their guests promise to make this a must-watch variety show.
Coupang Play's 'Sister Chicken' will be available exclusively on Coupang Play every Saturday at 4 PM starting February 14.
