Park Min Young new drama has officially been confirmed, and it marks a major milestone for K-content on global platforms. On May 26, Amazon Prime Video revealed that The Confidence Man KR—its first-ever Korean original series—is on the way, with Park Min Young starring as the lead.

A Korean remake of the popular Japanese comedy drama The Confidence Man JP, the upcoming series follows three elite con artists who take on the most corrupt and powerful villains across society. Packed with twists, wit, and thrilling deception, The Confidence Man KR promises an exhilarating take on white-collar crime, Korean style.

Park Min Young will take on the role of Yoon Yi Rang, the brainy and charismatic leader of the con team. Known for her acting range in both romantic comedies and intense thrillers, Park is set to showcase a new level of versatility as a genius-level fraudster. The casting already has fans buzzing, with many anticipating her transformation into a stylish, sharp-tongued scam mastermind.

According to production company HIGROUND, “Having Park Min Young star in an Amazon original drama is not only a personal achievement for the actress but also a landmark moment in the evolution of K-dramas. It’s a sign of her global recognition, and we believe this series will resonate with viewers far beyond Korea.”

The drama wrapped filming recently, after a production period that began in September 2024. With 12 episodes planned, The Confidence Man KR is now preparing for its premiere in the second half of 2025 on Amazon Prime Video.

This project positions Park Min Young at the forefront of a new era in Korean entertainment’s global reach. Not only does it signal her rising status as a globally recognized actress, but it also marks Amazon’s serious entry into the Korean drama market. With Park leading a high-concept, high-stakes story like The Confidence Man KR, the series is poised to grab international attention and possibly set new standards for K-content on Western streaming platforms.
