Which Dramas Will Be Honored This Year And Who Will Accept The Awards?

If you thought Hollywood had star power at its award ceremonies, stay tuned for the unmistakeable star power of the Hallyu.

As k-dramas and k-movies become more popular in the U.S., fans can expect to see more of these celebrities include U.S. locations in their tour schedules. And some of these events may be organized by the content providers who deliver the latest in dramas.

For example, DramaFever will have its awards ceremony on May 1 in New York City and the complete guest list has yet to be disclosed.

However, a strong contender for that guest list could be actress Park Shin Hye. Coincidence or not? The actress starts her 2014 Park Shin Hye World Tour: Story Of An Angel tour on May 1 in New York City. That's the same day as the awards ceremony which will honor the best and brightest of the past year's dramas. And naturally, Park Shin Hye's wildly popular drama "The Heirs" will be a strong contender for best drama of the year.

And here is another coincidence. DramaFever co-produced "The Heirs," in which Park Shin Hye co-starred with actor Lee Min Ho. The love story between his character, Kim Tan, and Park Shin Hye's character, Cha Eun Sang, filmed its opening episodes in California. It was the first k-drama series to be co-produced by an American company. But it probably won't be the last.

After the actress visits New York, she will tour some as yet undisclosed American locations, then visit Thailand, China, Japan, and Taiwan. In China, where "The Heirs" was also a big hit, she will visit Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzen and two more cities.

"We are really grateful for the international love," said a representative of Park Shin Hye's agency, S.A.L.T. Entertainment."You can be sure that we will repay you with performances."

The DramaFever Awards will be held at the Highline Ballroom at 431 West 16th Street in New York City. Winners of the content providers' poll will be announced there. The poll included some fun categories such as best bromance, which last year was won by Joo Won and Park Ki Woong in "Bridal Mask."

Even if Park Shin Hye does not show up for the ceremony, "The Heirs" is likely to earn some honors.

There are several kinds of tickets, including early bird admission and various VIP seats.
