Kim Ji-Yeon(Bona): Her intro post #1- '2017 KBS Drama Awards' show pics and video
Kim Ji-Yeon seems to be a common name, there's another singer with the name who also goes by Kei and was born in 1995 just as this post's honoree was. Another woman that shares the name is an Olympic fencer born in 1988. So to make her recognition easier this Ji-Yon goes by the name of Bona and I'll be using that name in her posts.
Had never heard of Bona up until a few days ago but when I saw these pics from the KBS Drama Awards show my heart went into maximum overdrive which hasn't happened in a long time. Bona is a member of the K-Pop group Cosmic Girls which also is known as WJSN. It's a mix of Korean and Chinese gals with four coming from China but unsure if the members now reside in Korea. Above is a PV for their "Happy" single that came out in 2017.
More on them in future Bona posts but want to just talk about her today as my boiling blood still hasn't cooled off after seeing those first pics of her.
A drama that I've been curious about is "Girls Generation 1979" which aired in September and October for eight episodes. It's set in the late seventies as the title suggests and though at first it appears to be a bit fluffy think it turned out to be quite a serious series. Bona has the lead role of Jung-Hee in the show and the more I talk about it the more I want to view it. Being only eight episodes is a big plus too so that just may be my next watch, there are now way too many on my -need-to-watch list and have to start watching them instead of talking about them.
The show was a KBS drama and for her role Bona in the above drama was nominated for the Excellence Award for best actress. She was also up for the Best Newcomer Award which was also for her "Hit the Top" series but sadly failed to win either one of them. Least to me Bona easily won the award for most sweltering actress at the awards show and there were plenty of actresses who looked more than oki doki at it. Plenty of dazzling pics from the awards show which was held on December 31st and after them is a short video of her on the red carpet.
