Local bespoke tailoring boss Benjamin Tay's MG Cyberster landed a K-drama role alongside Singles Inferno's Jo Igeon during filming at JW Marriott Singapore.

S'porean Lends His MG Cyberster Sports Convertible To K-Drama Crew Filming Here With Singles Inferno Star Jo Igeon

Usually when a client approaches local bespoke tailoring label Made Suits, they're looking for something to wear. But a Korean drama production crew filming in Singapore recently wanted something else from founder Benjamin Tay.

His car.

Benjamin recently took to Xiaohongshu to share behind-the-scenes footage of his two-seater sportscar — an MG Cyberster — being used for a K-drama shoot outside JW Marriott Singapore South Beach.

An MG Cyberster is priced around S$330K in Singapore.

"A Korean production crew came to Singapore to film a drama — and they actually asked to borrow our car?” he wrote.

While he said he'd have to keep the details under wraps in his initial video, he later replied to a comment on Instagram saying that Singles Inferno star and actor Jo Igeon is in the drama.

Igeon is confirmed to be in Singapore, having posted snaps of himself in Singapore since Aug 29, including one at the pool of JW Marriott Singapore South Beach.

He tells 8days.sg he actually drove the car for the actor during the shoot too.

When the Korean production first approached him, Benjamin admits he was surprised, and pretty thrilled.

"When the Korean production team first approached me to borrow my sports car, I was surprised but genuinely excited. I've always enjoyed Korean dramas, so seeing my own car appear alongside a Korean actor felt quite surreal," he tells us.

Quite a few Korean dramas have been filmed in Singapore in the past few months.

Netflix romance Spooky in Love, starring Park Eun-bin, Yang Se-jong and Ong Seong-wu, filmed here in April before premiering in July.

Singaporeans watching the drama may have spotted familiar locations including Lau Pa Sat, Kampong Glam, Clarke Quay, the Marina Bay waterfront and Resorts World Sentosa.

Then there's upcoming romance Joint Guarantee Romance, starring Kim Myung-soo, aka L from K-pop group Infinite, and Pyo Ye-jin.

The production began filming here around late July, with fans subsequently spotting the stars and crew around Singapore, including at Clarke Quay. They were even spotted taking a break at McDonald's in Funan.

Upcoming Netflix series Buy King, starring Ju Ji-hoon and 2PM's Lee Jun-ho, also shot scenes in Singapore earlier this year, with filming taking place from late April to early May.

It is not everyday a K-drama production asks to borrow your car

Can you move someone else’s car if it’s blocking the road? 🚗💪 A viral video from Malaysia recently showed a group of men taking matters into their own hands after a badly parked car appeared to prevent a bus from passing. Their solution? Physically lifting the car and shifting it closer to the kerb. 😭 It might have cleared the road, but what if the same thing happened in Singapore? If someone parks illegally or leaves their vehicle obstructing traffic, does that give members of the public the right to move it themselves? Not quite. Even if a vehicle appears to be illegally parked, that doesn’t automatically mean you should start pushing, lifting or arranging your own tow. If you damage someone else’s vehicle in the process, you could potentially find yourself responsible for the damage. And no, the absence of a yellow line doesn’t necessarily mean someone can park however they like — a vehicle can still cause an obstruction or undue inconvenience to other road users. So what should you do instead? For illegally parked vehicles and parking-related obstructions on public roads in Singapore, the safer option is to report the vehicle to LTA through the appropriate enforcement channels or the OneService app, rather than going full Hulk and moving it yourself. 💪🚗 Here’s what you need to know about illegal parking, cars blocking traffic and whether you can move someone else’s vehicle in Singapore — because sometimes it’s better to leave the deadlifts for the gym. 😭 #8dayssg #8dayssgtrending #SGTikTok #SingaporeCars #RoadSafety
