‘Celebrity,’ a Netflix South Korean drama series, explores the difficult road to success in the age of social media influencers by tracing Seo Ah-ri’s rise to e-celebrity status. With the help of an unnamed blogger named bbbfamous, the ordinary office worker uses every technique in the book to quickly rise to the status of the nation’s most important influencer. Ah-ri battles the city’s elite e-celeb group, “The Gabin Society,” along the way, and at the height of her celebrity, she resolves to expose the brutal realities of the business in an online live stream.
An established star makes a cameo appearance in the show just at the end of the first season. In the little period since the show’s debut, the same has drawn interest from viewers. Here is everything you need to know about the cameo if you’re interested in learning more about it and what it might indicate about the overall plot.
Is Lee Jun-ho in Celebrity?
Yes, Lee Jun-ho appears in Celebrity in a brief appearance. Lee Jun-ho, well known as the lead singer of the well-known K-Pop band 2PM, makes an appearance in the show’s season one, episode twelve. The protagonist Ah-ri makes the decision to leave the realm of fame and influence at the end of the last episode, which is represented by her decision to give up an iPad that was left at bbbfamous’ home. Soon later, a cleaning crew arrives on the scene, and Lee Jun-ho, one of the staff members, discovers the contraption. The episode comes to a close as Jun-ho begins to exhibit interest in the online displays of support for Seo Ah-ri.
Though hazy and superficially unimportant to the first season, the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo actually took some time to plan. Director Cheol-gyu Kim wanted to make an impression on the audience, so he asked Jun-ho to make a cameo appearance in his programme. The story raises the issue of emerging talent discovering and dealing with the possibilities within social media stardom through the brief appearance of Jin-ho’s character.
In the episode, Ah-ri first comes across as a jaded, no-nonsense employee who has little interest in social media. She maintains her beliefs and thoughts about celebrity culture even after entering the game and becoming an influencer herself, actively working to highlight its negative impacts. Finally, after consuming more than her fair portion of the same, Ah-ri unintentionally transfers the need for it to Lee Jun-ho, another candidate with a youthful appearance and bright eyes.
Jun-ho’s character thus makes a point about the cycle of popularity that is consistent with the remainder of the show, despite his brief involvement in the drama. His participation also suggests a potential plot line to investigate in a future second season.
In addition to being a successful musician, Jun-ho has distinguished himself as an actor in the entertainment business. With roles in films like “Red Sleeve” and “Good Manager,” Jun-ho has undoubtedly made an impression on the audience. If Netflix decides to renew the series, Jun-hos could return in a more important role for the upcoming season given his strong acting background. Nevertheless, his appearance was a welcome surprise and helped ‘Celebrity’ catch the attention of his followers.
