“Taxi Driver 2” targets “this person” with its idol character in recent episodes, “Call girls who can serve well”

SBS’s drama “Taxi Driver 2” is receiving favorable reviews from the public as it satirizes the Burning Sun Scandal.

In the recent episode of “Taxi Driver 2” aired on April 1st, Kim Do Ki (Lee Je Hoon) approached VIP member Victor (Go Geon Han) to uncover the corruption at club Black Sun.

In the drama, Victor said to Park Hyun Jo (Park Jong Hwan), a police chief and CEO of club Black Sun, “I’m going to rent a resort on an island to throw a party and celebrate the release of my new album.” 

When Park Hyun Jo asked, “Are there any famous celebrities coming? I like models these days”, Victor replied, “I know your style. I’ll invite models who can serve you well. I’ll make sure they come and set everything up perfectly.” 

When asked about dating rumors, Victor responded, “I don’t know. I’ll just eat everything up and marry a foreign woman”, making a remark reminiscent of former Big Bang member Seungri during the investigation of the Burning Sun case.

According to the publicized details of the Burning Sun investigation, Seungri gave instructions on serving foreign investors to his employees in a Kakaotalk group chatroom, saying “Call some girls who are good at serving”. However, Seungri claimed in court that he intended to write “call some girls who are good at having fun” but it was written that way due to the automatic completion function of the messaging app.

Also, in a conversation with Jung Joon Young and Choi Jong Hoon, the three of them talked about actress A, saying “B slept with A. I also slept with her”, “I’m planning to sleep with her”, “She has many men”, “Let’s all sleep with her then marry foreign women”, etc.

Reacting to the lines of Victor in “Taxi Driver 2” that satirized the Burning Sun Scandal, netizens commented, “They really pay attention to the realistic details”, “It’s obviously about Victory (Seungri)…”, “What a legendary shot”, “I was amazed while watching the drama…”, etc.

Meanwhile, the Burning Sun Scandal, which was parodied as the story about club Black Sun in “Taxi Driver 2”, broke out in 2018 when various crimes, including illegal drug use, sexual assault, filming and distribution of illegal videos, police collusion, etc., related to the club Burning Sun in Gangnam, Seoul were exposed.

In particular, former Big Bang member Seungri, singers Jung Joon Young, and Choi Jong Hoon shocked the public as they were all imprisoned for involvement in the scandal.
