Wednesday Season 2: How BLACKPINK’s 'Boombayah' became the highlight of Part 2

Wednesday Season 2 featured a twist that no one saw coming: Enid Sinclair and Wednesday Addams' body swap.

In Part 2 of the hit Netflix series, fans were left stunned when Wednesday, usually known for her icy stare and gothic charm, danced through Nevermore’s courtyard to BLACKPINK’s energetic track Boombayah. The queen of gloom was seen wearing colors and pretending to be all friendly.

But of course, nothing is as simple as it looks in Wednesday's world. As mentioned before, the one dancing and wearing multiple colors wasn't Addams. It was Enid trapped inside Wednesday's body after the magical mishap at Rosaline Rotwood's grave.

The scene has become the centre of discussion on the internet, especially on social media platforms, as fans got to see the Gothic Queen dressed in bright colors and moving to one of the biggest K-pop anthems in the world.

It became a highlight of Wednesday Season 2, Part 2, not just because of the body-swap comedy, but also because BLACKPINK’s music perfectly captured Enid’s vibrant personality. And beyond the laughs, the choice of song marked something bigger: K-pop’s unstoppable rise in global pop culture.

The unexpected 'Boombayah' moment in Wednesday Season 2 Part 2

When fans started Episode 6, Wo Thyself, of Wednesday Season 2, no one expected it to kick off with a playful surprise. The usually stern and shadow-loving Wednesday Addams wears Enid's dress and starts grooving to BLACKPINK’s Boombayah.

The secret behind the bizarre transformation was a magical body-swap gone wrong. Enid, Wednesday’s bubbly and colorful best friend, ended up stuck inside her body. Since Enid is obsessed with upbeat music and expressing herself, the choice of Boombayah matched her energy perfectly.

Watching Enid’s personality shine through Wednesday’s face and body made the scene both comedic and unforgettable. But why did she do that? Knowing how much her roomie hates colors, as she's really allergic to them, Enid decided to make this move.

This was the result of Enid reading what Wednesday thinks of her. She read her book in episode 6 and didn't like how she was described. So, Enid decided to settle the score and explored her cupboard to find the most colorful dress, one that's similar to what she wore while trying to scare Wednesday in Season 1.

The scene quickly became one of the highlights of Wednesday Season 2 Part 2 because it combined clever writing, perfect music selection, and character-driven humor. Social media buzzed with clips and memes, proving how well the moment landed with fans.

How the K-pop power is conquering global screens

Beyond that unforgettable Wednesday Season 2 dance, BLACKPINK’s influence is gradually but surely infiltrating more and more American TV shows, bringing K-pop into mainstream storytelling.

Recently, for instance, Amazon Prime Video's The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 featured BLACKPINK’s Typa Girl during episode 7, Last Hurrah.

The addition of this K-pop song matched the scene's energy, as the girls aim to dominate the boys and prove they're superior. And it’s not just BLACKPINK lighting up screens. Another surprise in Season 3 comes in Episode 1, but this time with BTS's Kim Taehyung (V), whose solo track FRI(END) highlighted the link between friendship and something more.

K-pop’s footprint is growing across genres as Pretty Savage was played in the very first episode of Prime Video's spy TV series, Butterfly, featuring Daniel Dae Kim. The song is played when Reina Hardesty's Rebecca is battling men alone.

So, whether it’s through heartfelt solos like V’s FRI(END)S, party-starting tracks like Typa Girl, or high-octane anthems like Boombayah, K-pop has become an increasingly natural choice in U.S. television.
