Korean drama 'Resident Playbook' scored the highest rating after featuring TXT's Yeonjun and Soobin as cameos. Fans did not expect the Kpop group TXT member to not only fill the soundtrack, but also act with the cast.
As reported by Nielsen Korea, the broadcast of episode nine of Resident Playbook on Saturday May 10, 2025 night received a rating of 6.2%. In the episode, TXT's Yeonjun and Soobin were shown as fellow members of Um Jae Il (played by Kang You Seok) in HI-BOYZ.
Um Jae Il's character in the Korean drama Resident Playbook has a unique background. He is a first-year resident doctor in the obstetrics and gynecology department, who once debuted as a KPop idol with the stage name Um Jay.
Together with TXT's Yeonjun and Soobin, they joined the Kpop group HI-BOYZ which debuted on December 4, 2011 with a hit song titled 'When The Day Comes'. The fictional KPop group in the Korean drama Resident Playbook did not last long and disbanded on December 28, 2013.
The moment Um Jae Il had been waiting for arrived when he went to karaoke with fellow resident doctors in the obstetrics and gynecology department, Oh Yi Young (played by Go Yoon Jung), Pyo Nam Kyung (played by Shin Si Ah), and Kim Sa Bi (played by Han Ye Ji).
He was finally able to show off his dancing and singing talents as a former KPop idol. The music video for the song 'When The Day Comes' played in a karaoke room shows Um Jae Il dancing with TXT's Yeonjun and Soobin in white and pink outfits.
Pyo Nam Kyung reflexively took out his phone to record because he was stunned to see his actions. Meanwhile, Kim Sa Bi surprised her friends because she suddenly danced the song's choreography next to Um Jae Il.
Although only two members of the Kpop group TXT made a cameo in the Korean drama Resident Playbook, the other three members Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Huening Kai also sang the song 'When The Day Comes' as the soundtrack.
The song 'When The Day Comes' sung by the Kpop group TXT was officially released on Sunday May 11, 2025. Now, many viewers of the Korean drama Resident Playbook are making jokes about the reason for HI-BOYZ's disbandment.
There are also those who just realized that Um Jae Il's ringtone is an excerpt from the song 'When The Day Comes' sung by TXT's Yeonjun. "No wonder Hiboyz disbanded, Soobin and Yeonjun moved to TXT, man" commented a netizen on TikTok. "It turns out that the ringtone we often hear is Yeonjun's voice" wrote a netizen.
"Poor Umjay who was left out of Big Hit's debut, be patient Jay, hopefully he will be happy in the obgyn unit," said another netizen who was entertained by the broadcast of episode nine of the Korean drama Resident Playbook.
