“Reborn Rich” is one of the most successful K-dramas of 2022. It was led by Song Joong Ki, Lee Sung Min, Shin Hyun Bin, Kim Jung Nan, Yoon Je Moon, and Jo Han Chul. The series also holds the record for the second highest-rated drama in Korean cable television history in viewership ratings.

This is not the first time that Korean dramas have been recognized at the International Emmy Awards. Last year at the 50th International Emmy Awards, the 2021 KBS K-drama “The King’s Affection” won the Telenovela category. This was the first Korean drama to win an award at the prestigious award-giving body. The historical Korean drama beat other dramas from Brazil, Spain, China, and more. 

Meanwhile, the 2023 International Emmy Awards ceremony will be held on November 20, 2023. 

Congratulations to the actors and production team of the K-dramas “Extraordinary Attorney Woo” and “Reborn Rich”!
