Wednesday season 2: Blackpink suddenly made a cameo, the old hit of 9 years is hot again

After three years of waiting, the second season of the hit series Wednesday - also affectionately known as "Baby Tu" - has officially aired on Netflix.

As soon as it was released, the film quickly broke records, becoming the most-viewed series in the first week, surpassing even Stranger Things.

This is also the first English-language film to occupy the number one position on Netflix in 91 countries, affirming the enduring appeal of Wednesday Addams' character in the hearts of global audiences. In addition to the fantasy and mystery elements that are the trademark of the series, music continues to play a particularly important role in creating the spread.

Right in the week of release, the Kpop community "woke up" when BLACKPINK suddenly appeared indirectly. Specifically, in episode six, Wednesday is swapped bodies with her best friend, the bright werewolf, who always sees life in pink and rainbows.

Living in Wednesday's quiet body, she immediately played the song BOOMBAYAH and danced wildly, from the bedroom to the school yard. This moment not only brought laughter to the audience but also showed this best friend's long-standing desire: to "shake up" with her best friend, something Wednesday never did. Another interesting detail was also revealed by the producer: Ms. Tu's best friend is actually a genuine Blink .

The audience was even more surprised when BOOMBAYAH sounded for nearly two minutes - a rare long duration for a soundtrack inserted in a movie. Although BLACKPINK did not appear directly, the fact that the billion-view super hit was turned on in the middle of the storyline was enough to create a fever, causing international social networks to talk about it excitedly.

Wednesday's music director - revealed that the team chose BOOMBAYAH right from the preparation stage. According to her, the vibrant melody and joyful lyrics create an explosive atmosphere, completely different from the usual Kpop ballad style. It is the strong energy of the song that has become the perfect catalyst for the swap scene, helping the audience to both surprise and delight.

This unexpected appearance makes fans expect BLACKPINK to expand their influence beyond music. BOOMBAYAH, which was a debut hit that helped the group make a name, currently owns more than 600 million streams on YouTube. However, compared to other familiar songs of the group, it is less remembered by the mass audience. Therefore, many people believe that BOOMBAYAH is fully capable of "reviving", reaffirming BLACKPINK's global position in the same way that Bloody Mary once created a fever thanks to the first season.

In the previous part, Wednesday's dance scene caused a storm on the internet, which was associated with the song Goo Goo Muck. The song's content is about a teenager who turns into a beast in the dark night, which fits into the gloomy setting of the film. However, what is surprising is that this scene only really explodes when viewers pair Wednesday's quirky dance with Lady Gaga's Bloody Mary. After just a few days, a TikTok trend spread, a series of cover videos appeared, turning the dance and song into a global cultural phenomenon. Thanks to the heat from Wednesday, the song was reborn after more than a decade and returned strongly on international music charts, becoming one of the cult trends in the 2022-2023 period.

It is that effect that makes the audience believe that, with BOOMBAYAH, history can repeat itself. A Kpop song born nearly 10 years ago can completely become a new trend, thanks to just a few minutes of appearing in Netflix's hit movie.

Wednesday season 2 aired and was criticized for being far inferior to season 1. Is Ms. Tu fed up with one person? Bảo Nam17:26:14 12/08/2025Wednesday 2 is divided into two parts.
