People only remember her as ‘Son Heung Min’s ex-rumored girlfriend’… Bang Min Ah, actress who has not made any hits in 12 years of acting
Bang Min Ah, actress and former Girl’s Day member, will star in Genie TV’s drama “Deliver Man”.
Talking about Bang Min Ah, people would think of modifiers, such as “Son Heung Min’s ex-rumored girlfriend”, and “former Girl’s Day member”. Although she has been acting for 12 years, not many people remember her name with any specific acting project. Her most notable work is “Beautiful Gong Shim”, which was already 7 years ago. Since then, she has not made any hit drama.
Idol-turned-actress Bang Min Ah made her debut in MBC’s 2011 series “I believed in men”, and worked hard without a break in both dramas and movies. However, she has not had any representative work throughout her acting career of over 10 years.
“My Absolute Boyfriend”, “Check Out the Event”, “The Best Future”, and even “Snowball” could not beat the rumor of her romantic relationship with Son Heung Min.
On July 29th, 2014, the dating rumor of football star Song Heung Min and Bang Min Ah broke out. According to the media, the two enjoyed romantic dates in Gangnam on July 16th and in Samcheong-dong on July 17th. At that time, Bang Min Ah’s side admitted to the dating rumor but then suddenly reversed their position, causing confusion to the public. About three months later, on October 16th, 2014, the two ended all suspicions by releasing official positions, saying “They no longer contact each other after the dating rumor”.
Since Bang Min Ah’s group Girl’s Day and Son Heung Min’s football career were all at peak of popularity at that time, it took quite a long time for the public to calm down.
MBC’s “Check Out the Event” is Bang Min Ah’s most recent acting project but its ratings stayed low in the range of 1%. The previous work SBS’s “My Absolute Boyfriend” also recorded an average rating of 2%. Despite having 36 episodes, this drama couldn’t win the hearts of viewers and even plunged to 1%.
Bang Min Ah was recently cast in Genie TV’s original series “Delivery Man”. It’s a comedy investigative drama centering on the livelihood taxi driver Seo Young Min (Yoon Chan Young) and Kang Ji Hyun (Bang Min Ah), a ghost who has lost her memory. “Delivery Man” is scheduled to premiere on March 1st.
Ahead of the drama release, Bang Min Ah shared, “The director, writer, as well as all the staff members and actors have worked very hard to make ‘Delivery Man’ a drama that can deliver laughter, happiness, and deep emotions to viewers. I hope our sincere hearts will be fully conveyed to everyone. Please show us much love and interest”.
“Deliver Man” is the chance for Bang Min Ah to escape from the name Girl’s Day and prove herself as an actress. Since Bang Min Ah is already in her 30s, this drama is expected to be a turning point in her acting career.
