South Korean drama with a crypto-loving character based on him is mocked by Bukele.

The latest episode of a South Korean drama series regarding unloved ladies searching for revenge featured a personality supported the El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele – and therefore the Bitcoin (BTC)-keen leader is reckoning on the sunshine side.

In real life, Bukele adopted bitcoin as legal tender in Sep 2021 and launched the state-run Chivo bitcoin app and wallet.

And the “real” Bukele gone through the clip in an exceedingly tongue-in-cheek fashion, writing on Twitter that the drama’s producers had created a “questionable casting choice” for the role of “Nashim Bupele.”

because the drama continues to be airing, it's not nevertheless clear if “Bupele” can build another appearance. However, he has already become one thing of a acculturation in El Salvador.

Members of Bukele's own Nuevas Ideas Party were the most engaged on this meme of all. The MP Cecilia Rivera shared a photoshopped image of Bukele carrying a gat, ancient headwear for students throughout the Joseon sept (1392-1910) amount of Korean history.

“Handsome,” Rivera quipped.

different MPs shared constant image.


Fellow MP Ana Figueroa showed off some spectacular Korean language skills in her own response, that browse (in Korean):

• “Our President is better-looking than this.”

though the series doesn't concentrate on crypto directly, it will address matters touching on the space. one in all the 3 wronged feminine protagonists has genetic alittle fortune from her deceased husband’s insurance policy. And one of the male antagonist characters is portrayed as being one thing of a sucker for unhealthy investments.

The hashtag #NashimBupele has since trended on Twitter in Salvador – and has even spawned a spoof Twitter account.
