According to MK Sports, on the afternoon of September 1, a press conference for the production of the Korean drama Confidence Queen was held in Seoul, with the participation of director Nam Ki Hoon and actors Park Min Young, Park Hee Soon, Joo Jong Hyuk.
Park Min Young is the center of attention because she plays the most important role in the main cast. The 1986-born beauty attracted all eyes when wearing a tight beige dress, combined with wavy curly hair.
However, when seeing Park Min Young's image, many viewers expressed concern about her health condition.
Fans think that Park Min Young is too thin, the tight dress even shows her fragile figure. The weight loss also seems to have made the actress's face look stranger.
Meanwhile, Confidence Queen marks Park Min Youngs comeback after more than a year, since the hit drama Marry My Husband aired in January 2024.
Confidence Queen is scheduled to air on September 6, the first Korean drama produced by Amazon Prime Video.
Adapted from the 2018 Japanese comedy "The Confidence Man JP", telling the story of 3 multi-talented scammers who carry out sophisticated scams targeting villains from all walks of life.
Park Min Young plays Yoon Yi Rang, the talented leader of the scams with an IQ of 165, in the top 1% of the population. Yi Rang will rely on his charm and wits to deceive the bad guys with many creative methods.
According to the media, Park Min Young will perform one of her most dynamic roles ever.
Director Nam Ji Hoon gave Park Min Young many compliments: She is an actress that I have always wanted to collaborate with. Working with her, I understand why she is so successful. She's very smart.
Taking on the lead role in the drama of the global streaming service, Park Min Young expressed: "Confidence Queen is Amazon Prime's first original work in Korea, so I think this is an opportunity I can't miss.
As an actor, I always crave vivid roles that require a lot of physical strength. And this role finally allowed me to lead and show a more dynamic acting style than before."
However, Park Min Young could not help but feel pressured when participating in a big project: I hope the film will be a success, but I also feel pressured. Because this is a global film, I worked harder with a higher sense of responsibility. I hope my efforts will shine.
Park Min Young is known as the queen of romantic comedies in Korea with many outstanding works such as Love Story in Sungkyunkwan, What's the Secretary of Kims World, The Beautiful Sky You Will enter, City Hunting, The Secret of the Fan Girl, You Go and Marry My Husband...
However, in September 2022, Park Min Young's career was in trouble when Dispatch revealed her dating news with Kang Jong Hyun - the real owner of the virtual exchange Bithumb, who was suspected of being a seamstress and manipulating stock prices.
Park Min Young announced her breakup with Mr. Kang just 2 days after the news spread, but still damaged her image.
