Every K-Pop Reference In New Netflix K-Drama “Chicken Nugget”
본문
Netflix‘s new K-Drama, Chicken Nugget, based on Park Ji Dok‘s Webtoon Dak Gang Geong (Sweet & Sour Chicken), premiered with all ten episodes over the weekend. It stars Kim Yoo Jung (also known as Kim You Jung, who previously starred in My Demon, The 8th Night, and 20th Century Girl) as Choi Min Ah, Ryu Seung Ryong (Moving, Kingdom, and Miracle in Cell No. 7) as Choi Sun Man, and Ahn Jae Hong (Kingdom, Be Melodramatic, and Fight For My Way) as Ko Baek Joong.
The series revolves around Choi Min Ah, who transforms into fried chicken due to a mistaken usage of a fatigue-relief machine. Her father, Choi Sun Man, and intern Go Baek Jung join forces to reverse the transformation, uncovering dark secrets along the way.

Although Eunwoo didn’t make a cameo as fans had hoped, he did receive a shoutout. Ko Baek Joong attempted to change his appearance by going into the mysterious machine and shouting, “Cha Eunwoo,” with no luck. This is also straight out of the Webtoon!
'i know it was too much to ask, but isn't that the point of thing?'

BTS also received a shoutout. In a fight sequence, the aliens attempted to fight with their knowledge of the most dangerous things known to man. Baek Jung (Kim Tae Hoon) thought of BTS because no one dares to “mess with BTS!” Baek Jung did some BTS choreography instead of throwing punches.
No one on Earth can mess with BTS.

Later, after discovering that Baek Jung and the rest of Baekjung Chicken Nuggets staff were aliens, he was asked many questions. One was regarding the Big Bang Theory, how/where the Big Bang started, etc. He stoicly responded, “Probably at YG Entertainment,” in reference to the K-Pop group BIGBANG.

Near the end of the series, when Yoo Tae Man (Jung Seung Gil) grew old but maintained the same face from his youth, it was remarked that even the BLACKPINK members treated him like a “nephew” despite their similar ages.
