Jung Ho-yeon was revealed by Netflix to be appearing on the show as Hong-cha, described as Korea’s best food columnist and an ex of Baek-joong’s. Meanwhile, Jinyoung stars Yoo Tae-young, the older brother of a side character on the show.
Go Chang-suk of Glitch and Today’s Webtoon fame was also revealed to be making a cameo on Chicken Nugget as Baek-joong’s father.
