A Character In Song Jong Ki's Hot Drama “Reborn Rich” Was Inspired By Bang PD And BTS

Recently, Song Jong Ki's movie "Reborn Rich" is receiving great attention from the public. With a tough and engaging storyline revolving around the inheritance war, K-Drame Reborn Rich became hugely famous.

In the movie about Sunyang Group, there is a character that perhaps few people pay attention to. It was Jin Do-joon's older brother, Jin Hyung-joon. It is said in recent days that his future appearance is inspired by chairman Bang Si-hyuk (50 years old), the largest shareholder of HYBE and also the father of BTS.

Here are owls from the movie that show this:

Reborn Rich is currently holding high rankings in this year's Korean films. Thanks to vividly and dramatic re-enactment of the inheritance war in the 2000s of one of Korea's biggest guessing episodes, the series received a lot of love from the audience.

Not only that, the film has recently received attention from ARMYs as it seems that the scriptwriter of the film is a fan of BTS. The film has many characters named after the members of the group and even the main actor has the English name Jin (played by Song Jong Ki).

More surprisingly recently, the audience has considered the educational background of each character in the film. This caused some viewers to focus on the character of Song Joong Ki's older brother, Jin Hyung Joon (played by Kang Ki Doong).

Jin Hyun Joon, also one of the heirs of Soon Yang Group, is the only one who doesn't seem to have any interest in working for the company. Instead, the character is more interested in pop music and is often sung and danced.

In addition, this character is shown to have a knack for predicting the future. This character correctly predicted a Korean film that would win an Academy Award (Parasite), a Billboard chart-topping K-Pop group (BTS), and the possibility of Korean participation. The 2002 World Cup with the fact that the country's national team that year passed the group stage to advance to the semi-finals.

In a recent episode, the drama revealed that Jin Hyun Joon later founded an entertainment company called Mega Hit Entertainment. Viewers who have watched all say that this entertainment company's resemblance to Big Hit Entertainment can't be a coincidence. In addition, this character also has the same passion and enthusiasm for music as President Bang in his younger years.

Another basis of Jin Hyung Joon being inspired by Bang Si-hyuk is because of his general connection with the Samsung corporation. It is theorized that the Sunyang Group, the center of Reborn Rich, is modeled after the Samsung Group.

In real life, chairman Bang Si-hyuk also has ties to Samsung. Chairman Bang Joon-hyuk, the largest shareholder of Netmarble, the second largest game company in Korea, is the cousin of Chairman Bang Si-hyuk. Netmarble's second largest shareholder is CJ ENM, the parent corporation CJ was once part of Samsung.

Based on these facts, the audience is convinced that the writer and director of the film is a person who loves BTS and president Bang Si hyuk, so they took the prototype from them:

- “That’s crazy. So is he Bang Si Hyuk? LOL.”

- “So he founded Mega Hit, LOL. That’s hilarious.”

- “But isn’t the profile picture similar to Bang Si Hyuk’s? It’s funnier because of it, LOL.”

- “So was he Bang Si Hyuk? LOL.”

- “He’s Bang Si Hyuk? LOL.”

- “Mega Hit, LOL.”

- “Ah, Mega Hit, LOL. Are they crazy? LOL.”
