Kpopmap Fan Interview: A Filipino BINGO Fanbase Talks About Their Favorite Actress Park EunBin & The Reasons Why They Love Her

Are you also curious about fellow K-Drama fans?! Let’s hear their stories and interests in Kpopmap Fan Interview Project.

There are K-Drama fans across the globe who share the same passion. But on online platforms, it is hard to know about each other’ stories and tastes. Even if we are in the same fandom, it is hard to get to know each other.

So at Kpopmap, we started the Kpopmap Fan Interview Project to get to know more about K-Drama fans from different countries. Just like the Kpopmap Fan Interview for idols, the Kpopmap Fan Interview for actors aims to open the opportunity for fans to promote, talk about, and share their love for their favorite actor/actress with our readers.

 

Park Eun Bin 박은빈 Philippines is the next one to answer our questions about their favorite actress- Park EunBin! Check out how they became her fan, the reasons why they are a fan, the dramas they recommend, and much more insights about Park EunBin.

Who is your favorite Korean actor/actress? And how and when did you become a fan?

My favorite Korean actress is Park EunBin. She’s the first and only actress that I ever fangirled for. I became a huge fan when I watched her in “Do You Like Brahms”. The drama was so beautiful and comforting with its classical music theme (and the lead couple are the cutest ship ever). Her character ‘Chae SongAh’ is such a beautifully written character and I had a lot of realizations while watching her character’s growth throughout the story. “Do You Like Brahms” is definitely my comfort drama!

I became a fan of Park EunBin while watching “The King’s Affection”. I remember looking for a historical K-Drama to pass time, just to find myself in awe seconds after her first appearance on the show. Just to give a brief synopsis, “The King’s Affection” is about a Joseon Princess who’s forced to live as her dead twin brother, the Crown Prince — later the King. Sounds like a typical gender bender K-Drama, right? But what makes it extraordinary is the fact that Park EunBin portrayed the role very well. She gave life to the character of Hwi to the fact that viewers would really forget that Hwi is supposed to be a woman acting like a man. So after her first stint as the Crown Prince, I thought “I have found a rare gem” and started stanning her. I guess I will be in this bunny hole forever.

What are the reasons why you love your favorite actor?

I’ve been a fan of Eunbin since The King’s Affection. Everything about her fascinates me. She’s the kind of actress you would want to know more about once you watch one of her projects.
One of the reasons why I love EunBin is that she is so passionate about her work. She continues to challenge herself and makes sure to study and understand the character she portrays. In her 20+ years of experience in the acting industry, EunBin continues to be a wonderful, humble, and sincere actress.

I’m a fan of EunBin because I’m really impressed by how versatile of an actress she is. Every time she comes back with a new drama, her character is totally different from the previous ones. It’s really amazing that she’s able to swallow any character that she needs to portray. Moreover, she is also really into details. With her micro-expressions, she’s able to convey the emotions to the audience very well. Other than that, I also admire her as a person. Even if we do not know her personally, we often see co-actors or even past classmates giving compliments on how good of a person she is.
Malt (@honey_malt)
Acting-wise, I am a fan of Park EunBin because of how excellent she is as an actress. Personally, I believe that excellency in acting doesn’t come from difficult scenes. Instead, you’ll know how excellent an actor/actress is when the scenes do not require heavy emotions because it is in these scenes that we get to see how an actor/actress personifies the character he/she is portraying. Truth to be told, Park EunBin is really great at giving birth to different personas every single time. In every drama, you’d see a different person— a different energy— a different world.

Can you recommend dramas or movies starring your favorite actor for new fans?

According to the media, “Park EunBin is a whole genre on its own”. She is a versatile actress who can portray any role very well. These are my recommendations based on your favorite genre:
Historical: “The Kings Affection”
Thrill: “The Ghost Detective”
Coming of age: “Age Of Youth”
Legal: “Judge vs. Judge” and “Extraordinary Attorney Woo”
Melodrama: “Do you like Brahms?”
Sports: “Stove League”
Ginny (@Kaonahwi)
For new Park EunBin fans out there who are victims of the “YoungWoo syndrome”😅, I would like to recommend her drama “Age of Youth”. It’s a drama centered around 5 college housemates and their daily lives. It’s such a fun drama to watch. If you want a light-hearted yet memorable show to watch this is definitely it!
I remember watching this while I was also living in a dormitory so I could relate to them so much. EunBin’s character Song Jiwon was my favorite. As you watch this drama you’ll get to know how charming of an actress EunBin is!

What was your favorite answer given by your favorite actor in an interview?

If I could read someone else’s mind, it would be Park EunBin. I always love reading her interviews because she will definitely leave the audience something to ponder about afterward. Her words are always insightful and informative. One of my favorite answers by EunBin would be “In life, we always experience hardships and there are moments that we are hurt right? At those times, to those people that I like, rather than to become someone who gives suggestions and advice, I want to become someone that will give them comfort and encouragement,” when asked about what kind of person she wants to become for those people around her. <br?>I hope she knows how much comfort she’s giving me and her fans just by watching her dramas.
Ginny (@Kaonahwi)
“I will continue to live tomorrow as what I have done today and as I have lived before, and continue to have the courage to take responsibility for my choices and live step by step,” EunBin said this during her award acceptance speech. I really admire her for living her life to the fullest. I hope to be that kind of person too.
Malt (@honey_malt)
I have lots of favorites, to be honest! If there is one thing in common for us, BINGOs (EunBin’s fandom name), that is how much we adore the way EunBin thinks. She is very perceptive and she delivers her thoughts exceptionally well. If I were to choose, it’s an excerpt from her acceptance speech during the KBS Drama Awards where she said: “Being able to make my own decisions is the true indication of happiness in life.” Hearing her say that made me realize that life is not about extravagant things, rather, it is about owning the life you are living. To be able to lead your life the way you want it to be; to make decisions for yourself and take responsibility for those decisions; to see the fruits of the decisions you’ve made, that is where you will find happiness in life. That’s what life is about.

What is your favorite actor’s influence on your daily life or yourself?

As a Park EunBin fan, I feel motivated whenever I see her passion and love for her craft which is acting. In every role she has ever played, I have never seen her slack off or not give her best. Seeing her take on different roles in her dramas and not being confined to a specific genre is impressive. She inspires me to be courageous and not let my fear stop me from taking on a challenge.
Joey (@joeyyssi)
Park EunBin has been continuously acting ever since she was young and looking at what she is right now is a significant influence in my life. Pursuing her education, dreams, and passion, and self-improvement is what I really admire about her. Those reasons are one of my motivations. We might not have the same situations in life but her attitude towards life is something that will help me improve mine.

What genre do you want your favorite actor to appear in? What’s the reason?

I personally would like to see her act as a doctor in a medical drama or as a strong, independent girl boss in a romcom series. We haven’t seen her in roles like these so these are going to be interesting! I’m excited to see how she would add her personal touch to the character she will portray. I honestly think she’s going to slay any role she is given because she always goes beyond what she’s asked. Whatever the role is, whatever the genre is, I’m just looking forward to seeing her in another drama that would showcase her acting prowess and charm 💓.
Nana (@lovecheesecakee)
BINGOs who have been following Park EunBin’s filmography for a while mostly wish for her to star in a romcom drama. Despite being an actress who seems most suitable for a romcom, surprisingly Park EunBin hasn’t starred in one ever. She always has great comedic timing and had amazing chemistry with her past male leads so I think a romcom would definitely suit her!
Another genre would be medical drama. This is just my wishful thinking but since she worked with Director Yoo InSik for “Extraordinary Attorney Woo”, maybe there’s a chance she’ll get casted for Director Yoo InSik’s popular drama series “Dr. Romantic” Season 3 🙈.
Joey (@joeyyssi)
(1) I would love to see her act as a femme fatale lead in a slice of life or romcom drama. It would be exciting to think how she would portray such role. Plus, it would be a big bonus for us BINGOs to see her dress so well in a drama; (2) A doctor in an intense medical drama. We all know that acting as a person in the medical field means that the actor/actress has to memorize and familiarize his/herself with medical terms. I would love to see EunBin take such challenge.
E (@SJWmisse)

 

Which actors would you like your favorite actor to act with? What’s the reason?

I could not identify a specific actor/actress but it would be exquisite to see EunBin act with the actor/actress that will inspire her more, not that she needed it to do her craft properly though! But as a fan who gains inspiration from her, it would be lovely if EunBin would feel the same inspiration and energy we derive from her through the actor/actress she will work with.
E (@SJWmisse)
I would love to see Park EunBin work with Kim TaeRi, Kim GoEun or Kim DaMi. It will be a dream come true for me to see these outstanding actresses in one screen!
