Park Min-young will star in the drama 『Confidence Man KR" (directed by Gaje, Hong Seung-hyun, scripted by Nam Ki-hoon), in which global OTT Amazon Prime Video, broadcast from 198 countries around the world, decided to produce it as Korea's first Amazon original drama. Park Min-young is the first Korean actor to be named the main character of a drama that Amazon Prime Video has confirmed its production.
Amazon Prime Video has been providing access to Korean dramas only through a separate Korean drama section, not the original section. Amazon Prime Video, which recently confirmed its global position on Park Min-young along with the explosive increase in demand and preference for Korean content, confirmed that Park Min-young's lead work, Confidence Man KR, will be produced as Korea's first Amazon original drama.
In particular, Park Min-young's "Marry My Husband" topped the charts in Europe, the United States, and South America when it was aired on Amazon Prime Video, and was consistently ranked in the top 10 even more than a year after the broadcast ended. It is said that Amazon Prime Video has once again imprinted the symbolic value of Park Min-young, who has global box office power and influence.
Confidence Man KR, starring Park Min-young, is a cross-sectional scam performed by three talented scammers against musicians from all walks of life. It foreshadows the birth of 'K-Capermool', which cheerfully twists the grammar of the existing crime genre, along with the exciting story development that cleverly penetrates the loopholes of the social system. Park Min-young plays Yoon, a fraudulent leader with the top 1% of genius brains, in Confidence Man KR.
On the other hand, 'Confidence Man KR' has been filming since September 2024, recently completed the filming of the entire 12-episode series and is waiting for its first broadcast in the second half of 2025. Expectations are high on how Amazon Prime Video's astronomical impact and Park Min-young's overwhelming global power will work together.
The production company Highground said, "Park Min-young's starring role in Amazon's original drama is a feat that has presented a new milestone not only in the actor himself but also in the history of K-content." Please look forward to and pay a lot of attention to 'Confidence Man KR', which was selected and produced by Global OTT Amazon as original content for the first time in Korea.
Meanwhile, the drama starring Park Min-young, the main character of the original Amazon section for the first time in Korea, will premiere in the second half of 2025.
