Park Eun Bin is receiving heaps of praise for her incredible acting as a genius lawyer on the autism spectrum in "Extraordinary Attorney Woo." As the show is now becoming a big hit, it also helps the actress's celebrity value skyrocket.
"Extraordinary Attorney Woo" is gradually making a noise. Though the show has only dropped six episodes so far, it has already put Park Eun Bin into the spotlight.
AllKpop noted that advertising industry insiders said the 29-year-old actress' annual advertising modeling fees have already doubled since the K-drama aired. Her modeling fee was reportedly at about 200 million KRW ($153,000) before, but it went up to 400 million KRW ($306,000).
However, her modeling fee is said to depend on the terms of her contract. For starters, the "Age of Youth" started in the business as a commercial model at the tender age of four.
She has been an advertising model for over 20 companies and she's currently modeling for KGC Ginseng Corporation, Korea Housing Finance Corporation, Tissot and the Ministry of Environment's Sustainable Today and Tomorrow Advertisement.
With Park Eun Bin's growing popularity, the companies she modeled for have also shown changes in the demographics. A KGC Ginseng Corporation official said they had also seen growth in consumers ages 40 to 50 after recognizing their model is the lead star of "Extraordinary Attorney Woo."
With that said, she may earn more attention in the advertising industry in the future with her newfound fame. Meanwhile, aside from winning the advertising world, Park Eun Bin has also captured the heart of Korean journalists, per Koreaboo.
The Sogang University graduate is now establishing herself as one of the new generation's leading actors. In fact, aside from her new Netflix series, she also received acclaim for her stellar acting in KBS's "The King's Affection" last year.
This aligns her with the caliber of great actresses like Lee Bo Young and Lim Soo Jung. Aside from her fans and viewers, she also gets the support of unlikely sources-Korean journalists.
They don't only fall in love with her great acting chops but with her humble personality and professionalism as well. Former journalist and YouTuber Lee Jin Ho revealed that other journalists who interviewed the actress had nothing but good words about her.
In his video, he said journalists couldn't say enough good things about the star. "It was to the point some applauded her after the interview," he said.
He continued that Park Eun Bin is "incredibly humble and treats people extremely well." He also praised her for being a great speaker, making the journalists' jobs easier.
