Recently gaining popularity overseas, she is expected to receive a strong response from local fans. The drama 'Socho-dong' has been highly praised in Japan, the USA, Brazil, France, Singapore, and Indonesia, and is ranked among the top on major OTT platforms in Taiwan, where the awards ceremony will take place.
