Author-nim must be into khh/krnb and idols fandom cause i understand some references they put in here i mean... I could probably be wrong about this but some of em like:
1. Seungmin's company named being "10BILLION" is like a pun from a real company/label called "1LLIONAIRE" (by The Quiett and Dok2)
2. In chapter 27, the singers' names: "zian, rotto" could also be a pun from the real singers: Zion.T and Loco since they have a pretty similar pronunciation when you say their name in Korean. In fact, Zion.T and Loco has a song together that quite popular back then, called "It’s Been a While (오랜만이야)"
3. Well for this part, i probably don't need to mention this since you guys know this already but "Drop the Money" (the show that Woo Seungmin in) is a pun for "Show Me the Money" (SMTM) and his being known as "vrom vrom" oppa, could also be a pun from a viral songs from that show (could be VVS or VVIP, idk which one lol hahaha)

Also since Woo Seungmin is from Brazil, here's one of "highschool rapper" contestants who's also from Brazil (shameless promotion hahaha) https://youtu.be/JOHBK3j_og0?si=M-nG-4Ai-HNNL-Ie
