Bump Up Business (2023) S01, E01-08

Bump Up Business is a 2023 South Korean television series that premiered on July 9, 2023. The story revolves around Eden, a fifth-year trainee about to debut in a boyband, who encounters Ji Hoon, an over-the-hill celebrity from the same agency. Eden is told he can only debut by doing a "business gay performance" (BGP) as a team with Ji Hoon[1][4]. Despite initial reluctance, Eden follows his agency's wishes for his long-cherished dream of debuting.

As Eden and Ji Hoon work together in the boyband "BoK", they bicker but gradually grow closer. However, misunderstandings build up with the appearance of top stars Hyun Bin and Jay[1]. The series explores whether Eden and Ji Hoon can clear up the misunderstandings and discover their true feelings for each other.

Adapted from the webtoon "Bump Up Business" by RK Studio, the drama consists of 8 episodes. It has been praised for its charming lead actors and critique of the K-pop industry's treatment of LGBTQ+ idols, though some felt the rushed pacing and lack of character development detracted from the engaging premise.
