Actor Song Kang Ho's highly anticipated drama "Uncle Samsik" may soon be available for streaming on Disney+. According to OSEN, talks are underway for the drama to be aired on the popular streaming platform.

Although a contract with Disney+ has yet to be signed, it appears unlikely that "Uncle Samsik" will be broadcast on traditional terrestrial, cable, or satellite channels.

With a production cost of 40 billion won, "Uncle Samsik" is slated to release on an OTT platform. While both Netflix and Disney+ have expressed interest, it has been revealed that Disney+ is the frontrunner.

Written and directed by Shin Yeon-shik, "Uncle Samsik" is a 10-episode drama that delves into the passionate desires and bromance between Uncle Samsik (played by Song Kang Ho) and the super-elite Kim San (played by Byun Yo-han). Their story explores themes of love, trust, and doubt.

The drama boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including Song Kang Ho, Byun Yo Han, Lee Kyu Hyung, Seo Hyun Woo, and Jin Ki Joo.

Initially scheduled to air in the second half of 2023, the final confirmation of the release date is still pending.

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.
