Here are some K-Dramas that are invaded by K-Pop references.

1. Red Velvet in Descendants of the Sun

Do you remember our brave and serious soldiers dancing and fanboying at Red Velvet members? Red Velvet performed on stage with their hit song "Dumb Dumb".

2. "Boy in Luv" and "Growl" in Goblin

The CEO wanted to know what kind of gifts do young women likes. The secretary gave the CEO a list that includes references to BTS and EXO. The CEO is amazed by his secretary's dance skills as he danced with "Boy in Luv" and "Growl".

3. "Gangnam Style" in Splash Splash Love

A horse that runs fast and the woman who doesn't know how to ride properly are a perfect combination of disaster. Splash Splash Love taught us that PSY's "Gangnam Style" dance moves are what you need in riding a horse for the first time.

4. Eyes on fleek in Kill Me, Heal Me

Oh Ri Jin looked startled with Baekhyun's eyes. EXO-Ls liked the reference to Baekhyun's iconic burgundy eye look from the Seoul Music Awards!

5. "Me Gustas Tu" dance face-off in Come Back Mister

At some point, everyone has been dancing to "Me Gustas Tu". Fans can't get over the scene where Rain and Yoon Park had a dance battle to this song in Come Back Mister.

6. "You look like a singer" in Chief Kim

Junho was forced to sing because someone said he "looked like a singer". Fans who watched this episode can't stop laughing. The 2PM idol showed us his moves with TWICE's "TT" and made us admire him more.

7. We see what you did there in I Remember You

Cha Ji An was caught stalking Lee Hyun. She said that she stalked him in the past, and said now she likes EXO. This reference suits best because D.O. also stars in this drama.

8. G-Dragon claps for The Idle Mermaid

What will you do after discovering that your crush doesn't like you? Just do a G-Dragon dance break.

9. The Unexpected Attack to VIXX- Glorious Day

We know that there will be a reference whenever a K-Pop idol is part of a K-Drama. We are shocked after hearing Jiho say he hates VIXX the most.

10. H.O.T and SECHSKIES in Reply 1997

Most of K-dramas are not highlighting K-Pop references. Reply 1997 toured us in the year 1997's first generation of Korean Pop. We are happy to see many scenes are dedicated to H.O.T and SECHSKIES. Fans and thankful and could not ask for more.
