In the acceptance speech, Jeon Woo Sung -the Director, expressed his gratitude by saying, “ ‘Bargain’ is a project with an incredibly unique concept, so it’s an honor to be recognized and invited. Thank you so much for giving us an award on top of that. Byung Yoon! Jae Min! We did it!”

Furthermore, a representative from TVING expressed, “We are incredibly happy to be able to continue the Korean content syndrome as TVING’s original series ‘Bargain’ achieves the pleasure of becoming the first Korean OTT [series] and drama to win a Canneseries award. In the future too, we will do our best to discover content that delivers fun and touching emotion to people all around the world and spread the word far and wide of TVING’s content’s competitiveness.”

Congratulations to the cast and crew of ‘Bargain’ for this amazing accomplishment.
