KBS Television Drama Wins Award at Shanghai TV Festival

The KBS drama "Becoming a Popular Song", which was produced to mark the foundation of the Korean Broadcasting Station (KBS), won the Best TV Film Magnolia Award at the 11th Shanghai International TV Festival in the television drama category.

By depicting the life of an ordinary middle-aged housewife, the drama, which aired March 6, sends the message that life is beautiful, albeit childish at times. Produced by Cheong Cheol-kyoo and written by Roh Hee-kyeong, who also produced another popular KBS series "Beauty Beyond Expression", this drama stars famous middle-aged actors Park Geun-hyung and Yoon Yeo-jung.

Last year, KBS won the Best Tech Award at the same festival for the drama "There Is A River Flowing In Everybody's Heart" in the television drama category.

To celebrate the award, KBS will run "Becoming a Popular Song" on KBS TV2 on June 18 at 10:05.
