  "account": "The new season of Saturday Night Live introduced fresh faces Grace Reiter and Saidah Belo-Osagie, kicking off with a sketch that lampoons K-pop talent competition Dream Academy. Dream Academy, featured on YouTube, aims to create an international girl group. The spoof featured Reiter and sophomore cast member Jane Wickline as contestants for the show, claiming their presence was due to having incriminating information about the producer. The producer, in a mock statement to the camera, hinted at her involvement in a hit-and-run orchestrated by a music executive, implying she orchestrated the contestants' appearance on the show.",
