Actors Kim Soo-hyun and Park Min-young, the main characters of the drama 『Queen of Tears" and 『Marry My Husband" produced by Studio Dragon and became a hit K-drama in the first half of this year, delivered special stories about K-drama and their performances to the audience of 『KCON LA 2024" in Los Angeles from the 26th to the 28th (local time).
Park Min-young held a special fan meeting on the 27th, the second day of the event, and Kim Soo-hyun on the 28th, the last day of the event, respectively, on the live stage of M Countdown.
The two actors' attendance was designed to expand the base of K-content abroad through meetings between K-drama representative actors and K-pop fans, taking advantage of the KCON event, which has provided a venue for experience not only for K-pop but also for Korean culture such as K-food and K-beauty.
In fact, at the special fan meeting site of Park Min-young and Kim Soo-hyun, which was filled with enthusiastic support and shouts from fans, K-pop and K-drama stories were mixed, including behind-the-scenes stories of the drama filming process and introduction of K-pop that they usually enjoy listening to.
First, on the 27th local time, 'Park Min-young Special Meeting: Mary My Husband' (Park Min Young 'Special Fan Meeting: Mary My Husband') was held. Park Min-young, who expressed her feelings by saying, "I'm very happy and excited because it's been a long time since I visited LA since I visited LA before the pandemic, is an example of how people from all over the world can be connected to stories beyond culture." Thank you so much for making this incredible journey possible," he said. Recalling the moment I first encountered the drama script, I thought the title was too unique, but as soon as I started the script, I couldn't put it down and read it from one place to the end at once.
In addition, Park Min-young cited 'What's Wrong with Secretary Kim' as the most memorable work of her past dramas, "It was a work that was free to act and could be expressed in various ways." Many people still remember me for that role." As if to reflect the global popularity of "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim?" when the title of the drama was mentioned, the audience also cheered loudly.
He also introduced the BTS song 'Spring Day', which was used as an insert song for 'Marry My Husband' as his favorite BTS song. Finally, Park Min-young also went on the live stage of M Countdown and delivered a special message to tens of thousands of fans who visited K-Con, mentioning the need for education for women in underdeveloped countries.

Finally, Kim Soo-hyun said, "We are currently preparing to shoot a drama, and we will work harder with the energy of the KCON audience. I think I can greet you with a work next year. I'll try to come back to LA as soon as possible," he said in his farewell speech. In addition, Kim Soo-hyun also appeared as a red carpet and M Countdown host on the same day, marking the splendid opening of the KCON LA 2024 stage.
Meanwhile, 'Marry My Husband', which was released on tvN, TVing, and Amazon Prime Video earlier this year, became a global hit shortly after the broadcast, maintaining the top 10 of Amazon Prime Video's global daily TV show rankings for 27 weeks.
