Former Miss Universe third runner-up turned actress Lee Ha-nui (이하늬), better known outside of Korea as Honey Lee, will host the seventh season opening episode of the Korean version of Saturday Night Live (SNL) next week.

Lee, 32, will be the main host with regulars Shin Dong-yup, Kim Min-kyo and Jung Sang-hoon.

Singer Kim Ye-won, 26, who was embroiled in controversy after a video of her being verbally abused by another entertainer Lee Tae-im during filming of a reality show surfaced, is also scheduled to make an appearance.

Lee won Miss Korea in 2006. She has been pursuing an acting career since. Lee has been dating singer-turned-actor Yoon Kye-sang, 37, a member of first-generation K-pop band g.o.d.
