Actress Kim Sae Ron is making a comeback to the theater, following a two-year hiatus due to a drunk driving controversy.

Kim Sae Ron is set to star in the play 'Dongchimi', scheduled to run from May 3rd to 12th at the CTS Art Hall in Seoul.

'Dongchimi' is a heartwarming story about a family of five, including a straightforward but family-loving father, a selfless mother, and three siblings who may bicker but are deeply devoted to their parents.

Kim Sae Ron will be playing the role of the youngest daughter, Jung Yeon, and is expected to perform six times.

Kim Sae Ron's return to acting comes nearly three years after her last appearance in the 2021 drama special 'The Palace'.

She was also part of the Netflix series 'Bloodhounds' released in June last year, but most of her scenes were edited out due to the drunk driving incident.

Netizens have shared mixed reactions to her comeback:

"I'm struggling to understand her motive, as her acting doesn't seem to overshadow her controversy."

"She must have some strong connections."

"This is the quickest comeback from DUI charges I've ever seen."

"This could be her reward for keeping quiet about that photo with Kim Soo Hyun."

"I'm not against her making a fresh start, but I'm not entirely convinced."

"Now I'm starting to believe the rumors about her dating KSH. She posted a picture of them together and now she's landed a lead role in a drama. Was the picture a veiled threat?"

"A fresh start means a new approach, a new mindset, and a deeper appreciation for what was lost… I hope she has truly changed for the better, both as a person and as an actor."

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.
