Emma Myers Explains BLACKPINK Song Choice in Wednesday Season 2 Body-Swap Scene and How She Helped Jenna Ortega Prepare
2 mins read
One of the standout moments in season two of Netflix’s Wednesday unfolds in the courtyard of Nevermore Academy. After a magical mishap causes Wednesday Addams (played by Jenna Ortega) and Enid Sinclair (played by Emma Myers) to swap bodies, Enid suddenly finds herself living inside Wednesday’s stoic frame. Upset by the situation and eager to get under Wednesday’s skin, she dresses Wednesday in bright, colorful clothing and launches into an over-the-top performance of BLACKPINK’s “Boombayah.”
The sequence is deliberately unsettling, both for viewers and for the students of Nevermore. Ortega, channeling Enid’s personality inside Wednesday’s body, dances across the courtyard with exaggerated energy, snatching phones from classmates and flashing big smiles. The stunned reactions from the crowd show just how out of character the behavior is, with whispers that Wednesday might have finally cracked. The tension peaks when the camera cuts to Wednesday, now trapped in Enid’s body, delivering her trademark death stare — making it clear the plan worked exactly as Enid intended.
In a recent interview with MTV UK, Myers clarified her role in the moment. Although many fans assumed her well-known love of K-pop meant she had a bigger say, she made it clear that the choice of song wasn’t hers. “I did not recommend the song,” she said, noting that editing and music decisions happen outside of her control. Still, she agreed that “Boombayah” was a fitting choice for such an outrageous sequence.
Even if she didn’t choose the track, Myers did find another way to contribute. She shared that she sent Ortega a handful of videos to help illustrate how Enid might dance if she ever let loose in Wednesday’s body. These weren’t strict routines but reference points, giving Ortega the freedom to interpret Enid’s quirky style in her own way. “I let her do her thing,” Myers explained, highlighting the trust and collaboration between the two actors.
The result is a moment that mixes humor, tension, and character conflict in equal measure. It’s colorful, disruptive, and perfectly in line with the dynamics between Wednesday and Enid — a sequence that fans will no doubt remember long after the season’s credits roll.
