he is inspired by all the ‘boybands’ throughout history. I mean when I grew up, when I was of age, it wasn’t BTS, it was Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC.

But we definitely get a K-pop boy band nod to BTS with ‘Tae Young’ in the movie. 4town represents all the boy bands in history”, said director Domee Shi.
