The cast and crew of the smash-hit tvN drama Bon Appétit, Your Majesty are set to enjoy a reward vacation in Vietnam this coming late October. In the K-drama industry, such vacations are a rare bonus awarded by a network only when a show achieves exceptional popularity.
This reward is especially sweet for YoonA. A video from the show’s wrap party went viral among fans. In the clip, she takes off her shoes, climbs onto a chair and passionately shouts, “Bon Appétit, Your Majesty is a huge hit! We’ll be going on a reward vacation!” And now, her wish has come true.
The success of the show has been undeniable. From its premiere with a 4.9% rating, the drama’s viewership has soared, with the most recent episode setting a new high at 15.8%. It has dominated its time slot for four straight weeks and was named “Korea’s Favorite TV Show” for September by Gallup Korea.
Internationally, Bon Appétit, Your Majesty has become a global sensation, making history as the first tvN drama to hold the No. 1 spot for two consecutive weeks on Netflix’s non-English TV chart.
The show has also been a career-defining moment for its stars. YoonA has topped the actor buzz charts for five consecutive weeks, while co-star Lee Chae Min claimed the No.1 spot for brand reputation. Riding high on this wave of success, both stars are now preparing for their first-ever solo fan meeting tours across Asia.
