Q A

With Yeonmo [The King’s Affection]

Executive Producer Jae Hyeok Yoon

Q Where are you going to keep your Emmy®?

The trophy will be displayed in the center of the office where it is most visible and will receive lots of love.

Q Tell us about the importance of winning an Emmy®?

We were greatly honored to become the first Korean winner for Best Telenovela at the International Emmy’s, and we received many congratulations from all corners. Looking forward, I think this will positively influence the globalization of Korean drama production, and we can become an example to our peers in the industry. The award has given me great confidence moving forward, and I am enthused by the potential to participate in more global drama production.

Q What upcoming projects are you or would you like to be working on next?

Apart from historical pieces like The King’s Affection, I am currently working on a few coming of age dramas and melodramas. Please look out for those!

Producer Chang Hyun An also has dramas in development, notably Big Bet, an ambitious project filmed in Korea and the Philippines which is now airing on Disney +. He also has a few adaptations of popular webtoons in the works, 1 Second being an excellent example.
