Shocking crossover: thanks to the drama’s explosive popularity, its breakout in-show idols are about to hit a real music show stage.
In episode 6 of the TVING original series The Legend of Kitchen Soldier (hereafter ‘Kitchen Soldier’), which aired on the 26th of last month, the in-drama group Migak Boys made a splash with idol-level choreography and visuals, instantly becoming the center of attention.
Right after broadcast, viewers raved, saying, "They need to perform on music shows ASAP" and "I’d believe they were actual idols."
Their track 'My Flavor' is a fun, high-energy dance song that playfully stimulates the five tastes humans perceive—'omi (five flavors)'—both visually and sonically. Fueled by fan demand, the song officially dropped on the 27th of last month, further supercharging the drama’s momentum.
Fans’ wishes are finally coming true. News broke that Migak Boys will appear on Mnet’s music program M Countdown on the 11th, proving their real idol-tier impact.
On the 8th, Studio Dragon’s official Instagram even surprised fans by unveiling the group’s official fandom name to celebrate their M Countdown appearance—sending drama fans’ "universe deep-dive" into overdrive.
Netizens reacted, "That fandom name is insane," "Omijas, make some noise," "If Lee Sang-yi is taking the M Countdown stage, I’m watching live no matter what," "This immersion is next-level," and "Are they showing up in full HMU coordi (hair, makeup, and styling)?"
Meanwhile, the buzzworthy 'Kitchen Soldier' continues to shake up the small screen and airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 p.m., with simultaneous streaming on TVING.
