• Korean Netizens Voted “Snowdrop” The Worst K-Drama of 2021

    According to Korean netizens, ‘Snowdrop’ is the worst drama of 2021.

    2021 saw the release of many great K-dramas, but there were also dramas that ended up getting negative reviews.

    The viewers obviously have personal and subjective preferences, but there are a few dramas that were involved in serious controversy and faced backlash from the majority of the Korean public. 

    Recently, a netizen posted on Theqoo and pointed out Snowdrop as the worst drama of 2021. In the comments, many other Korean netizens agree with OP, claiming that Snowdrop should have not been broadcast because of its historical distortion. 

    It is known that at the time of its release, “Snowdrop” was strongly criticized. A petition with more than 300,000 signatures was sent to the Blue House asking to ban this product for allegedly distorting history. Contrary to public expectations, the producer decided to air 3 episodes a week instead of 2 as planned, and at the same time ensured the drama’s content would have no negative elements.  On the other hand, Jisoo‘s acting ability also creates a negative effect as she lacks basic skills.

    Netizens comments: 

    Seriouslyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Snowdrop is the worst drama that shouldn’t have been aired
    It will still be the worst in 100 years
    Just looking at the poster makes me go crazy
    Only 2021? Even if 100 years have passed, it will still be the worst drama ever
    I hate that cast
    The worst of the 21st century..
    I can’t believe this drama is still airing, they are so shameless
    Not only in 2021, but in drama historyㅋㅋㅋ
    It’s just the worst in Korean drama history

    However, some others still defend Snowdrop:

    Only 5 episodes have been aired and there are 11 more. It’s clear that netizens hate this product.
    This drama is so good, I’m looking forward to it.
    Jisoo’s acting skills are quite good considering she is just a rookie. There are a ton of bad actors, who’ve been in the industry for years, out there.  Why be so strict with a rookie actor?

    BTS member Jimin made history at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS, becoming the first solo artist ever to win the prestigious Visa Fan’s Choice of the Year award.

    On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

    Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

    In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

    Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

    His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

    The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

    Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

    On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

    Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
