Comedian Lee Soo-ji, best known for her work on SNL Korea, lit up the 2025 Coupang Play Series halftime broadcast with a hilarious spoof of the viral “Coldplay affair couple” kiss cam moment that’s been circulating worldwide.

During halftime of the Tottenham Hotspur vs. Newcastle United match at Seoul World Cup Stadium on August 3, Lee Soo-ji was seen embracing fellow SNL cast member Kim Gyu-won. The two mimicked a couple getting cozy on the stadium screen—only to feign dramatic surprise and guilt when they realized they were being filmed.

It was a direct parody of the now-infamous incident where a man was caught on camera at a Coldplay concert with a woman—later rumored not to be his partner. That moment spread like wildfire across TikTok and X (formerly Twitter), spawning memes and comedic tributes across the globe.

Lee Soo-ji’s version added a perfectly timed Korean twist, earning chuckles both online and from the live crowd. The comedic moment was broadcast as part of Coupang Play’s halftime entertainment, offering a light-hearted intermission to an otherwise emotionally charged evening, especially as Son Heung-min played what may be his final match with Tottenham.

As the internet continues to replay this parody moment, fans are praising Lee Soo-ji’s sharp comedic timing. It’s a reminder that football and laughter make a pretty unbeatable team—especially when “Comedy Messi” is in the stadium.
