K-Pop group The Boyz performed Game of Thrones-inspired numbers on Reality Show
Music is the language of the soul. There’s a reason why a scintillating tune brings out the true power of a story. Game of Thrones’ Ramin Djawadi was brought back for House of The Dragon for the same. The show influenced culture and people all around the world. The most recent example being K-Pop group The Boyz’s last performance on a reality show- Kingdom: Legendary War.
While competing on the show, the group performed two acts based on Game of Thrones. First up, they performed a song called “No Air” in a performance that was entirely A Song of Ice and Fire-themed. You can clearly spot White Walker backup dancers and snow on the stage works. Check it out below:
Next, The Boyz put together a routine inspired by the Red Wedding. This one seems a little looser, although the colour scheme is on point.
There are English translations, walk-throughs and subtitled videos out there if you want to get a clearer description of the acts. Various fans have put them up on Twitter to help Game of Thrones fans understand the performance in a better way.

Earlier this month, Game of Thrones found a special mention in WB’s Space Jam 2 trailer. Talk to us in the comments below and let us know about more pop-culture icons referencing Game of Thrones!
The month of April is a period of celebrations for Game of Thrones Fans. HBO is commemorating a decade of the show with the Iron Anniversary celebration. The streaming giant has scheduled various events and specials related to Game of Thrones all through the month. Various famous brands like Funko and Fabergé have joined in to make the event even more special. The celebrations don’t stop there, as two of the show’s artists share a birthday today. Veteran actors Aidan Gillen and Rory McCann turned 53 and 52 today, respectively. HBO wished them with a commemorative picture on account of the Iron anniversary.
Aidan was born on 24 April 1968 in Drumcondra, Dublin, Ireland as Aidan Murphy. He has appeared on various famous shows and movies like Blade Runner, Peaky Blinders, Queer as Folk and so on. He famously played the role of Lord Petyr Baelish on Game of Thrones. Petyr Baelish was one of the most cunning and pivotal characters on the show. However, his wits couldn’t save him from his grisly death.
Rory was born on 24 April 1969 in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland. He has played important roles under famous banners such as the XXX franchise. McCann is set to make an appearance in the Sherlock Holmes spinoff The Irregulars. Rory played the role of the warrior Ser Sandor ‘The Hound’ Clegane. He is one of the most lovable characters in the entire franchise, who is a force to reckon with.
