• Park Eun Bin’s “Castaway Diva”— Hit Or Flop?

    Park Eun Bin is back with the heart-warming drama “Castaway Diva.” “Castaway Diva” is a drama about a girl called Seo Mok-ha who ran away to an island to escape her violent father.

    After enduring 15 years alone on the island, she was discovered by Kang Bo-geol and Kang Woo-hak and return to the real world. Will she be able to adapt to the new world and achieve her dream of becoming a singer?

    “Castaway Diva” became a healing drama due to the endless positive energy emitted by Park Eun Bin, who played Seo Mok-ha.

    Although she is thirty-one years old, she can turn into an innocent 16-year-old girl. The actress’ great singing is also a bonus.

    The child actress who played young Mok-ha, also has a solid acting ability and a good synchronization with Park Eun Bin, adding to the viewers’ joy of watching.

    On the other hand, there seems to be some criticism towards a few parts of the drama’s storyline. For example, the characters commit a fraudulent act of lip-syncing in live broadcasts watched by the whole nation, but they don’t even feel guilty at all, which seems like the script is trying too hard to make Mok-ha’s singing journey touching.

    Starting with last weekend’s episode, “Castaway Diva” entered a new phase of the storyline. Let’s wait and see if the drama can succeed in attracting more audiences.

    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.
