  • The Saja Boys, comprising members Jinu (Ahn Hyo-seop), Abby, Mystery, Romance, and Baby, were inspired by Korean groups such as Tomorrow X Together, BTS, Stray Kids, ATEEZ, BIGBANG, and Monsta X. There’s always a muscular one who shows off their abs; one who was the romantic type (“I purposely gave him these bangs that were meant to be heart-shaped”); and, the baby of the group.


    Yep the muscular one is Ateez San lol :Cat-Cackle:


    Kang did admit that the character of Jinu was inspired mainly by K-drama actors. She names Cha Eun-woo and Nam Joo-hyuk as the leading men on the inspiration boards. They wanted him to have a very classic Korean look, which is why he had dark hair. Though Ahn was cast as the voice of Jinu, the character was created before he signed on for the part, but Kang does see the similarities with his Business Proposal character.


    of course cha eun-woo lol :huh3:

  • Oh and besides Twice and MEOVV, what real world kpop groups were referenced?

    There's a LOT of Kpop and Kdrama references in it. Some of the characters were actually inspired by Idols and actors and other K-Industry celebs.


    One of the animator talking about the movie here, but there's NO ENG SUB!

    All I know is one of the character, probably Rumi or whatever her name is, was based on Hwasa, but he mentioned Rose and Jennie as well.

    Honestly, I don't think I'm gonna watch it, because Kdrama and Kpop stans are absolute crazy about this on Insta already. The amount of toxicity coming from both fandoms is out of this world.

  • You didnt even watch it dillweed, you can't talk about references...


    I was asking about direct, named or shown references anyway.

    You asked and I answered. I don't have to watch it to know all the references, especially because the guy in the video mentioned a LOT already, and I've seen so many others on SNS. Use your brain!


    What you're talking about is not a "REFERENCE", those are EASTER EGGS! They can't reference everyone, because that would cost a LOT of money. MEOVV and TWICE were only included because Teddy produced 2 songs and TWICE member's singing one of the OST in the end credit.

  • Listening to the sound track and is it me or does the song Golden sound like IVE - I am? I guess there's a bit of Rebel Heart, but it's very IVE coded.

  • I like the songs , the plot, and Jinu.


    The beginning of the film made realize how cringe kpop fans are though, i think that’s why most people dont even listen to kpop because of how cringy kpop fans can be.

    They also played EXO Love Me Right for the Saja Boys.


    I don’t think they played any other group other than EXO and twice I think. At least I didn’t recognize anyone else.

    To be fair, Western Pop fans are not much better, even worse in some cases.

    I didn't see anything else either, at least on SNS and some random YT vids.


    I've only seen little easter eggs like this one.
