Netflix’s new hit “Genie, Make a Wish” is making fans laugh for an unexpected reason — it’s causing smart devices to react every time Suzy calls out “Genie” in the show!
The romantic fantasy series stars Kim Woo Bin as a lamp spirit named Genie, who wakes up after a thousand years, and Suzy as Ga Young, a woman who’s lost her emotions. While fans are loving their chemistry, many are now joking about a new kind of “viewer problem.”
Because the characters constantly say “Genie” or “Hey Genie,” viewers who use AI voice assistants with the same wake word are seeing their devices respond in real time.
One fan shared, “It answers every time someone says Genie,” while another laughed, “I had to turn it off because it kept reacting. I couldn’t focus on the drama!”
Clips showing the funny mishaps have gone viral on social media. In one scene, Suzy says, “Genie, this guy keeps talking to me since yesterday,” and a real AI device responded, “It makes me sad when you say things like that,” leaving everyone in stitches. Suzy even liked the post herself!
Even Kim Woo Bin wasn’t spared. During a recent interview, he revealed, “It happens at my house too. When I was practicing alone and said, ‘I’m Genie,’ it kept replying, ‘Yes~.’ I had to turn the volume down,” he said with a laugh.
Genie, Make a Wish was released on October 3 on Netflix and continues to attract global attention — not just for its story, but for giving fans some unexpected comedy at home.
