Period drama The King’s Affection, starring Park Eun-bin and Rowoon, has become the first Korean language series to win an International Emmy Award. The 20-episode show, titled Yeonmo in Korean, earned the honour in the best telenovela category at the 50th edition of the annual award gala.

The International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences also made the announcement on its official Twitter page. Other nominees in the category were: Nos Tempos do Imperador (Brazil), Two Lives (Spain) and You Are My Hero (China).
