As a Faithful, Eric has dodged early danger and charmed viewers with his low-key charisma amid the castle’s high-stakes betrayal.

But it’s his latest Instagram post that’s blowing up online. In a stunning photo (or carousel) from the Scottish Highlands set—likely showing him in dramatic castle lighting, perhaps channeling the show’s signature moody vibes—Eric captioned it: “my favourite colour is British 😏 #TheTraitors #TraitorsUS”. (Note the British spelling of “favourite” for that extra flair!)

The playful line is a clever double entendre:

• It nods to the show’s British origins—The Traitors format started on the BBC, with host Alan Cumming’s iconic posh style and the classic red cloaks evoking gothic UK mystery.
• Filming at the lavish Ardross Castle in Scotland amps up the “British” aesthetic—deep reds, blacks, tartans, and misty highlands.
• Eric’s wink at the Traitors’ color scheme (those blood-red cloaks) adds meta humor: Is he hinting at his own potential villain side, or just embracing the game’s campy British roots?

Fans are obsessed! Social media is flooded with comments like “Eric Nam serving looks in British mode 😍” and “Eye candy + wit = unbeatable.” His global appeal is drawing new viewers to the show, with K-pop stans crossing over for the first time. Pre-season, Eric teased he’d be “under the radar” since “most of these people have no idea who I am”—a strategy that’s working so far. He was on the Episode 1 murder-risk list and the Secret Traitor’s (Donna Kelce’s) shortlist alongside Mark Ballas, but survived the first elimination (Ian Terry was murdered instead).

Here are some stunning shots capturing Eric’s castle vibe and signature charm:

In contrast, fellow low-key Faithful Mark Ballas (the Dancing with the Stars pro) is also gliding under suspicion with his genuine alliances—no punny captions, just smooth social plays.

With new episodes dropping Thursdays on Peacock, Eric Nam’s mix of international star power, subtle gameplay, and viral humor is keeping the buzz alive. Is he the next breakout star of Season 4? Drop your thoughts below! 🎤🏰🔥
