'Bongga!': After Cebu, Park Eun Bin wants to visit Boracay
MANILA, Philippines — Korean actress and "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" star Park Eun Bin has a special connection to the Philippines and her Filipino fans, and she already has a list of things to tick off for future visits.
Eun Bin was in Metro Manila last weekend for another fan meet just eight months after her initial visit when the Philippines was included in her "Eun-Bin Note: Binkan" Asia tour.
Hours before her fan meet at Quezon City's New Frontier Theater last June 24, Eun Bin sat down with several members of the press, including Philstar.com to talk about her return to the country.

"Mabuhay! Magandang araw po, kamusta kayo?" Eun Bin giggled as she waved to media persons present.
With a person on hand to translate her responses into Filipino words she couldn't say, the actress recalled how different her experiences were arriving in the Philippines.
"Noong bumisita ako last year sa Pilipinas, hindi ko na-expect ganyan kadaming fans ang nandoon sa airport, hindi ko na-greet," shared Eun Bin. "Pero this time noong ang daming pumunta, doon ko nasabi at na-greet ang mga fans ko."

Eun Bin also said that she had already been to Cebu and was eyeing a visit to another tourist hotspot Boracay, "Sana if there is a chance makapunta ako."
The "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" star admitted her travels had minimized since work had piled up, and that as introvert she often keeps to herself when on vacation.
"Hindi ako mahilig sa tubig pero gusto ko makakita ng mga dagat. Takot din ako sa scuba pero gusto ko lang maglaro sa pools. Gusto ko lang lumangoy, kumain ng masasarap na Filipino foods," she also admitted.

Further proof of her introverted nature was she didn't like moving from one place to another, "Gusto ko stick sa isang tourist spot at kumuha ng chill vibes."
For her role as the titular autistic lawyer in "Extraordinary Attorney Woo," Eun Bin won the 2023 Baeksang Arts Award Grand Prize in Television, beating out "Reborn Rich" actor Lee Sung Min, Kdrama "The Glory" and its writer Kim Eun Sook, and her very own show.
She will next be seen in the series "Diva of the Deserted Island" as the lead star Seo Mok-ha and will have a special appearance in "Boston 1947."
