Startstruck 6 Discovery Koreen Medina Gets Biggest Break As Contravida To Maine Mendoza In 'Destined To Be Yours' And Is Ready To Be Bashed By Aldub Fans

KOREEN MEDINA gets her biggest break in “Destined to Be Yours” as a contravida to Maine Mendoza. The 21-year old Starstruck 6 discovery is so happy because there were so many of them who auditioned for the role of Marjorie, the richest girl in town who becomes Maine’s rival over Alden Richards, and she didn’t know she’ll be the lucky one who’ll be chosen by management. “It’s really my biggest break so I really give my best and do everything required of me in each taping day para hindi ako mapahiya sa mga nagtiwala sa akin,” she says.

Is she ready to be bashed by AlDub fans? “Reading-ready na po. Di pa nga nagi-start ang show, naba-bash na ako at sinasabihang lumayo kay Alden. But okay lang, it’s part of the job kasi I know how possessive the fans can be. Magkababayan kami ni Alden, e. He’s from Sta. Rosa and I’m from Binan, Laguna. Pareho silang mabait ni Maine, very warm sa taping kaya masaya kami sa set.”

Koreen reveals that her parents are separated and she grew up with her grandmother. “Bantay sarado po ako sa Lola kaya at 21, di pa ko nagkaka-boyfriend.”

She joined Mutya ng Pilipinas Asia Pacific 4 years ago and she was a runner up. She was sent to the Miss Intercontinental Pageant in Germany where she won 3rd place. “Pero mas gusto ko talaga maging artista kaya sa showbiz na lang ang focus ko. Like I showed sa Starstruck noon, I can sing, dance and act. Kaya blessing talagang napasama ako dito sa ‘Destined to Be Yours’. Hindi nga ako makapaniwalang nakakasama ko sa eksena sina Alden and Maine kasi, dati, fan nila akong pinapanood lang sila sa ‘Eat Bulaga’. Ngayon, nakakachikahan ko pa sila sa taping. Hindi lang sila ang mabait, pati ibang co-stars namin like Ina Feleo, Janice de Belen, Boots Anson Roa. I feel so blessed na makilala silang lahat at makatrabaho ko pa. So ang pakiusap ko lang sa AlDub nation, suportahan nila ang ‘Destined to Be Yours’ kapag nagsimula na itong umere starting February 27.”
