GOT7 Jinyoung To Star As 'YOO BABI' in New Drama! Malaysian Netizens Tickled.

AWKWARD ALERT!

GOT7 fame, Park Jin-young is in talks to star in the upcoming tvN webtoon-adaptation drama, Yumi's Cells. Kudos to him!


However. that's not the only reason why Malaysians are tweeting about the idol-turned actor.

Here's the thing. JB -as his stage name goes- will be playing as the lead actress's second boyfriend by the name 'YOO BABI'.  He also happens to be the owner of 'BABI TEOKBOKKI'!

Nope, you didn't read that wrong! B-A-B-I indeed!

If you're not well-versed in Malay/Indonesian (doubt it!), the character's name -when translated in either language- stands for 'PIG'


Together with the family name 'Yoo' (read: you), it pretty much sounds like an insult that almost all Malaysians have came across at least once in their lifetime. 


Now, imagine JB's romantic scene with Kim Go-Eun, the leading lady as she calls out 'Sarang-hae, Yoo Babi-shi.'

On Twitter, netizens are already amused with the revelation of the character's name. 

While the name is pretty familiar among fans of the web-toon, the fact that this handsome idol will be called 'BABI' throughout the episodes is going to be so funny.
