If you were to ask someone about what they knew of ̾k̾o̾r̾e̾an media, there are two answers you are likely to hear right now; BTS and Squid Game.
After spending a record-breaking summer atop the Billboard Hot 100 with their songs “Butter” and “Permission To Dance”, BTS attended the UN General Assembly to deliver an impa̾s̾sioned speech about the next generation.
Squid Game has surprised many as the runaway Netflix hít for the fall. The show has achieved both ma̾s̾sive critical success and an international following, historically becoming the first K-Drama to rank in the top 10 TV show chart for the United States.
It was only a matter of time before these cultural juggernauts came together, and it appears as if British actor Simon Pegg is just the man to do it.
On September 25, Netflix ̾k̾o̾r̾e̾a‘s Instagram account shared a story of Simon Pegg alongside both Squid Game memorabilia and a life-size cutout of BTS’s Jin with the caption:
“5 Reasons This Photo Is Impressive
1. Simon’s pulling off the tracksuit look like it’s his daily OOTD
2. Wh… why did he pop the doll head off like that?!
3. The way those gonggi pebbles are hanging on for dear life
4. BTS’s Jin is casually in the background saying hi too
5. Simon Pegg himself sent this to us”
This isn’t surprising, however, as Simon Pegg has proven his ARMY cred before. Fans first noticed his love for the group when he posted a video of himself listening to “Daechwita” by Agust D (aka Suga).
