Park Eun Bin is in talks to return to TV with a romantic comedy titled "Desert Island Diva"
Park Eun Bin is reportedly in talks to return to television with the romantic comedy "Desert Island Diva."
Actress Park Eun Bin may well have picked her next small-screen movie after the significant success of "Extraordinary Attorney Woo," according to media reports on December 14.
The actor is competing for the lead role in the upcoming drama series "Desert Island Diva," which is being produced by Oh Choong Hwan and written by Park Hye Ryeon (working title).
The romantic comedy-style movie centers on a woman who is found on a mysterious island after vanishing 15 years earlier.
Park Eun Bin is thinking of playing Mok Ha, a young woman who has always wanted to be a singer.
Mok Ha disappears while she is in middle school and ends up on a remote island, where she manages to live alone for 15 years.
Being saved from her lonely life is one thing, but adjusting to contemporary society is quite another.
In addition to being director Oh Choong Hwan's newest project following his MBC hit series "Big Mouse," the production is presently attracting notice as the brainchild of screenplay Park Hye Ryeon and director Oh Choong Hwan, the duo behind tvN's "Start-Up."

Kim Soo Hyun's fans fight back against malicious rumors and international fans join forces to protect him
Actor Kim Soo Hyun's dedicated fanbase is taking action against online hate and false rumors aimed at damaging his reputation.
On April 22nd, the Kim Soo Hyun Fan Union (comprising Daum Cafe Yukaris and DC Inside Kim Soo Hyun Gallery) released a statement announcing they are working to file criminal charges against those spreading harmful slander about the actor.
Their lawyer, Yang Tae Young from Law Firm Siwoo, revealed that they plan to take legal action as soon as this week, filing a formal complaint at the Seoul Seongbuk Police Station. According to the fan union, these online users are violating the Information and Communication Network Act by spreading malicious defamation.
While defamation cases can be pursued by third parties, unlike insults which require the victim to act, the fan union is determined to protect Kim Soo Hyun's reputation. They stated, "This is a voluntary movement to defend the actor’s rights and maintain a healthy fan culture. We won’t tolerate personal attacks disguised as freedom of speech and will take action without hesitation."
The fan union also emphasized that this effort is not just limited to South Korea. International fans have joined the movement, showing support for the cause. The union has gathered solid evidence, including harmful comments, manipulated images, and false posts made over the past few months.
In a related move, Kim Soo Hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, filed a separate report with the authorities on April 15th, condemning the continuous spread of baseless rumors and unverified claims that have been damaging to the actor’s image. They also filed a defamation lawsuit.
This all stems from claims made by the family of late actress Kim Sae Ron, starting in March. Through the Garoseero Research Institute YouTube channel, they alleged that Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron were in a relationship from November 2015 (when Kim Sae Ron was a minor) until July 2021. They presented supposed evidence such as handwritten letters Kim Soo Hyun allegedly sent to Kim Sae Ron during his military service and a photo of Kim Soo Hyun kissing Kim Sae Ron on the cheek.
In response, Kim Soo Hyun's agency clarified on March 14th that the actor only began a relationship with Kim Sae Ron after she became an adult, from the summer of 2019 to the fall of 2020. Kim Soo Hyun also addressed the rumors directly during a press conference on March 31st, stating, "I did not date Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor."
The situation continues to unfold, with fans and the actor taking a firm stance against the damaging rumors.
