Actor Son Seok Koo is making headlines as he’s currently in talks to join the cast of the upcoming drama “More Beautiful than Heaven” (working title), a new project by director Kim Seok Yoon.

Son Seok Koo first teamed up with director Kim Seok-yoon in the 2022 drama “My Liberation Notes.” In this series, he played the enigmatic outsider Mr. Gu, earning rave reviews for his deep, soulful acting and romantic gaze, which quickly catapulted him to stardom.

After his breakout role as Mr. Gu, Son Seok Koo’s star continued to rise, marking 2022 as “The Year of Son Seok Koo” with his role in the blockbuster movie “The Roundup,” which also hit the ten million viewer mark. Since then, Son has been keeping busy with various projects, including the dramas “Casino,” “D.P. 2,” “A killer paradox,” the play “Army on the Tree,” and the film “Comment Army.”

Reuniting with the director who played a pivotal role in his career, Son Seok Koo is all set to create another memorable collaboration. Director Kim Seok Yoon’s project is still in the early stages, with the title and details under wraps as the production team and cast closely coordinate.

The drama is generating buzz for bringing together actors who have previously shown great chemistry with director Kim, including Han Ji Min and Lee Jung Eun, who are also in talks to star. Both actors previously worked with Kim on the acclaimed dramas “The Light in Your Eyes” and “Hip.”

Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting project!

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.
