The Chaser - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details

Easter Eggs

The '4885' Phone Number

The number 4885 has become iconic in Korean pop culture, often referenced in variety shows and other media as a shorthand for impending danger or a villainous reveal.

Ha Jung-woo's Art

In real life, actor Ha Jung-woo is a painter. While not explicitly an easter egg in the film, the character Yeong-min's 'artistic' background (working on sculptures) parallels the actor's real-life creative side, twisted into something dark.
