• 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.

  • IVE's Ahn Yujin Opens Up About How aespa's Karina Reached Out to Her First After Wanting to Get Closer

    IVE's Ahn Yujin just shared a sweet story about her friendship with aespa's Karina, and fans are loving the adorable details!

    On January 28, Ahn Yujin appeared on Salon Drip 2 and got candid about how her friendship with Karina began.

    During the show, Jang Do Yeon asked Ahn Yujin if she had ever talked to Karina, who is also a leader, about the struggles of being in charge after they performed on stage together.

    Ahn Yujin revealed, “I’ve wanted to get closer to Karina for a while. I’ve focused on just becoming friends, so we didn’t really talk deeply yet, but I want to ask her more about it. Our teams are very different, but they’re all so amazing!”

    When asked how she approached Karina, Ahn Yujin shyly admitted, “The first time we met was through a challenge. Karina’s team wanted to take photos with me, and I made sure to dress nicely. I was so nervous!"

    She added, "I had two things I wanted to ask: ‘Can I call you unnie?’ and ‘Can I get your number?’ But I couldn’t bring myself to do it because there were just too many things on my mind. I wanted to talk well, dance well, and look good on camera.”

    Ahn Yujin then explained that after a collaboration stage offer came up, she thought of Karina and even got her number through a mutual acquaintance. But, worried about making Karina feel uncomfortable, Ahn Yujin didn’t contact her right away. Instead, she waited until Karina contacted her first!

    Ahn Yujin shared, “I heard Karina was talking about me, so I thought I should contact her. But then, she contacted me first,” looking genuinely touched. Jang Do Yeon teased, “You both are so cute! Are you getting close now?”

    With a bright smile, Ahn Yujin responded, “Yes! We’ve decided to have a meal together soon.” She also thanked Karina for being so kind, especially when Karina texted her after practice, saying she had worked hard.

    Ahn Yujin revealed, “Lately, I keep asking her if it’s okay to post pictures of us on social media,” showing just how strong their growing friendship is.
