The lead actors from Studio Dragon’s popular dramas “Queen of Tears”and “Marry My Husband”made appearances at “KCON LA 2024”, a three-day event held in Los Angeles from July 26th to 28th (local time).
On the second day, July 27th, Park Min-young hosted a special fan meeting at the Meet & Greet stage, while Kim Soo-hyun appeared on the final day, July 28th, to grace the “M Countdown”live broadcast stage with his presence.
Participating in KCON, an event known for showcasing not only K-pop, but also K-food, K-beauty, and the rich Korean culture, was part of their efforts to broaden the international influence of K-dramas and engage with fans of K-pop.
On July 27th, the “Park Min Young Special Fan Meeting: Marry My Husband” was held. Park Min-young expressed her delight in returning to LA after a long time and shared that the reason for the success of “Marry My Husband” is its ability to connect people all around the world through its story. She expressed her gratitude to all those who made this incredible journey possible.
The next day, the “Behind the Scene: Kim Soo Hyun” event took place. Kim Soo-hyun greeted the audience, mentioning that it had been nine years since his last appearance at KCON. He expressed his excitement about being part of the lively KCON atmosphere once again. He proceeded to share some of his favorite K-pop songs, including INFINITE’s “Paradise” , IU’s “Through the Night” , and BIBI’s “Bam Yang Gang” , which were met with enthusiastic cheers from the audience. Kim Soo-hyun concluded by teasing a potential return to LA soon, as he mentioned his upcoming drama project.
Earlier this year, “Marry My Husband”was broadcasted on tvN, TVING, and Amazon Prime Video, and it quickly rose to the top of Amazon Prime Video’s global daily TV show rankings. This achievement was a significant milestone for Korean dramas on the platform, as Amazon Prime Video’s global service had only started in 2016. Additionally, “Queen of Tears”, which ended in April, also achieved impressive viewership on tvN, with an average rating of 24.9% (Nielsen Korea, nationwide paid households). It even made its way into Netflix’s global top 10 non-English TV category after just three weeks and maintained its position for 15 consecutive weeks.
