Actress Park Ji-hyun (32) has been nominated for the International Emmy Award for Acting in the category of Best Actress, marking the first time a Korean actress has received such an honor for 'Eun-jung and Sang-yeon'.

The International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced the nominees for the 54th International Emmy Awards on the 23rd (local time).

This year, out of 64 nominees across 16 categories from 22 countries worldwide, Park Ji-hyun was selected as a nominee in the Best Actress category, drawing significant attention. This is the first time a Korean female actress has been nominated for an International Emmy Award acting prize.

Park Ji-hyun was nominated for her role in the global OTT Netflix original series 'Eun-jung and Sang-yeon', which was released last September.

Consequently, Park Ji-hyun will compete for the trophy against Mona Mina Leon from Belgium's 'Holy Sh!t', Barbara Mori from Mexico's 'Lucca's World', and Sheridan Smith from the UK's 'I Fought the Law'.

In 'Eun-jung and Sang-yeon', Park Ji-hyun played the role of Sang-yeon, delivering a memorable performance alongside Kim Go-eun, who portrayed Eun-jung.

'Eun-jung and Sang-yeon' won the Grand Prize for Broadcasting and the Screenwriting Award at the 62nd Baeksang Arts Awards held in May. In June, it also secured the Best Creative Award, the top honor at the Global OTT Awards.

Meanwhile, the Disney+ original series 'Hyper Knife' has also been nominated for an International Emmy Award. Starring Park Eun-bin and Seol Kyeong-gu, this work was nominated in the TV Movie/Mini-Series category.

The 54th International Emmy Awards ceremony will be held on November 23 in New York, USA.
