[Yeosu=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Cheol-hoon] The web drama 'Mujigae' produced by Yeosu City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Jeong Gi-myeong) won the 'Best Drama Award' at the LA Webfest held on the 5th.

The web drama 'Mujigae' was nominated in two categories at this year's LA Webfest Awards: the Merit Award and Best Drama Award, ultimately winning the Best Drama Award.

'Mujigae' is set against the backdrop of Yeosu, a beautiful music city, from the Joseon Dynasty's Akgongcheong (musician office) to modern-day busking, telling the story of seven friends called Mujigae.

In particular, it carries the meaning of respecting diversity without black and white, like the seven colors of the rainbow and the seven musical notes.

It also won a special award at the 8th Seoul Webfest held last August.

A city official said, "This award internationally recognizes the excellent quality of the web drama 'Mujigae.' We will continue to enhance the brand value of Yeosu, Korea's representative tourist city, by utilizing various new media."

Meanwhile, the web dramas produced by Yeosu City have continued to win various domestic and international webfest awards for seven consecutive years, starting with 'Shinjikki's Love Story' in 2016 up to this year's 'Mujigae.'
