Actress Kim Min-ha has left for the 30th Critics Choice Awards to represent the Apple TV+ original series “Pachinko” Season 2. Recently, “Pachinko” Season 2 was nominated for Best Foreign Language Series, sparking interest in whether the show can achieve similar success to Season 1, which Kim Min-ha won an award for last year.

“Pachinko” told the story of a Korean immigrant family in the early 20th century and received praise for its deep narrative, strong direction and the powerful performances of its cast. Kim Min-ha portrays the young Sunja in the series, leaving a strong impression with her emotional performance and solidifying her status as a global star.

As Kim heads to the U.S. to represent the “Pachinko” team, all eyes are on whether the show will once again make its mark at the awards.
