On May 20, Korean actress Kim Ji Won officially opened ticket sales for her first fan-meeting event in her career, 14 years after her debut as an actress.

Initially, Kim Ji Won's "Be My One" fan meeting event was scheduled to be held on June 22 at Shinhan Card SOL Pay Square Live Hall, Seoul (Korea), with 400 tickets sold.

But then, due to audience complaints that the number of tickets was too small, the event was held on June 23. Thus, the total number of tickets for the 2 days is 800 tickets.

On the afternoon of May 20, according to the audience, when they first lined up online, there were more than 500,000 viewers waiting to buy tickets, then the number gradually decreased to about 200,000 people. However, the competition for Kim Ji Won's tickets was still very high because there were only 800 tickets sold for 2 days.

Kim Ji Won recently had a huge leap in fame when she took on the female lead role of Hong Hae In in the drama “Queen of Tears”. She and actor Kim Soo Hyun continuously occupied the top 2 positions in the ranking of most notable Korean TV actors throughout the weeks the drama aired.

"Queen of Tears" also surpassed "Crash Landing on You" to set a record for the highest rating in tvN history, reaching 24.9% in the final episode.

Korean media assessed that "Queen of Tears" was a big turning point in Kim Ji Won's career.

Although she had previously had many successful roles in the films "Descendants of the Sun", "Voluntary Youth", "My Freedom Diary"... But the role of Hong Hae In in "Queen of Tears" has created strong coverage both domestically and internationally.

After "Queen of Tears", Kim Ji Won has not confirmed any new projects yet. She is taking time to rest and take care of herself.
