Chanyeol performed the secondary role of Koo Gi Ho, the son of the motel owner.
This wise combination of genre and masterful performance turned out to work just as well on viewers as the inclusion of the detail.
Park Chanyeol really stood out in episode 6 of #TheFrog. He delivered an amazing performance that left everyone in awe. Instead of choosing an easy romcom role, he took a very demanding & complex character, showing real acting skills. He truly deserves all the praise. 😌🙌💯🫶 pic.twitter.com/TLXHH5pIie

Even though the show's exciting plot and excellent cast have already attracted much positive attention, it is the particularity of the performance, namely the detail, that has sparked fans' interest.
The key scene in which Chanyeol's character performs is the one where he comes to the door, takes several seconds to look around, and then puts his guesses on "1485".

When it comes to making the first impression, even eagle-eyed EXO fans known as EXO-Ls, cannot decipher the meaning behind this door passcode.
This can be easily explained by the fact that the code is really random. However, after some research, the fans found out the meaning behind the number combination.
The code "1485" is the number that marks the official anniversary of the EXO fan club, which was created on August 5, 2014.
This would have been impossible if Chanyeol had not decided to add a personal touch to the character.
In addition to the message of gratitude to the fan club, the fans also appreciated the performance of the celebrity, who despite the seriousness and tension of the plot, managed to find another way to nod to his audience.
This provides another way for fans to feel even more involved in what is going on in the show.
