"Who is Ken Kern..." 'The Lincoln Lawyer' Season 4, Touching Tribute

The popular Netflix series 'The Lincoln Lawyer' Season 4, released on the 5th, is making waves with its intense developments, while the tribute caption that appeared at the end of Episode 6 is drawing viewers' attention.

Immediately after the airing of Episode 6 '50/50' on the 6th (Korean time), the phrase "In Memory of Ken Kern" appeared on the screen against a black background.

◆ The Hero Behind the Camera, Ken Kern

According to foreign media Decider, the late Ken Kern was not an actor or director, but the Production Accountant for this drama. A drama representative stated, "He was a key figure managing the finances of a massive production scale, ensuring the show ran smoothly," adding, "Although his face was not known to the public, he was an invaluable colleague to the production team." This tribute reflects the production team's deep loyalty to not forget the 'unsung heroes' who dedicate themselves quietly behind the glamorous lights.

◆ The Sad Overlap of Reality and Drama

Coincidentally, Episode 6, which pays tribute to Ken Kern, contains the storyline of David 'Legal' Siegel (played by Elliott Gould), who was a spiritual support and father figure to Mickey Haller in the show, passing away. As the death of the mentor in the drama coincides with the obituary of a real-life colleague, fans watching the ending credits expressed their condolences, saying, "We can feel the sadness of the production team losing someone precious both inside and outside the drama."

Meanwhile, the 'The Lincoln Lawyer' team has confirmed the production of Season 5 and is preparing to shoot. Overcoming the sorrow of losing a family-like colleague, they plan to start Lincoln's engine once again.
