    Question about a small part of Episode 4 (I think). Very minor not really a spoiler but I’ll hide it just in case.

    spoiler

    Posh Boy is sat on a curb with a police officer, who starts singing. I had guessed that the actor (Jin Seon-kyu) playing the police officer was a former boy band singer but his bio doesn’t have anything like that. Was it a song from Posh Boy’s group? Was it mostly just a fangirl moment?

    My knowledge of K-pop is largely limited to following one person who got heavily into the BTS thing, rooting for the K-pop kids when they joyously sabotaged far right hashtags on Twitter, and occasionally changing my handle to something like “Ambrose Thomas stan account” (a lesser known opera composer who wrote the most delicious music for a reworking of Hamlet) as a joke on myself for getting really excited about things most people haven’t heard of. Like trying to entice my thoroughly unadventurous neighbours into watching some K- or C-drama.

    Anyway, the song moment seemed like it was an in-culture reference and I’m just curious.
