Jin shared with Today that he actually had an incident of road rage but insisted that it was not parallel to the series. He shared that it started with another driver “honking and cursing” at him, but “for some reason,” he decided to follow the person for several miles on his way home.
Jin laughed when he recalled the experience and said he was sure other drivers thought he was “a crazy person stalking him.” He added, “Here we are in our literal bubble that you’re driving around and very much trapped in our subjective reality. So I think that’s fun to explore.”
All ten episodes of “Beef” are now available to stream on Netflix!
