The 56th Baeksang Arts Awards was a star-studded night celebrating some of the greatest in television, film, and theater!

The annual ceremony took place on June 5 at the KINTEX Hall in Ilsan, Gyeonggi Province, and it was held without an audience due to precautions regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. For the third year in a row, the MCs were Shin Dong Yup, Suzy, and Park Bo Gum.

The Grand Prize for film went to director Bong Joon Ho for the international hit “Parasite.” While he could not be there to accept the award himself, a representative conveyed a message he’d shared in case he won. He said, “It is an honor to be ending at Baeksang the long journey that began in May of last year at Cannes.”

The Grand Prize in television went to the KBS2 drama “When the Camellia Blooms,” while cast members took home the Best Actor (Kang Ha Neul) and Best Supporting Actor (Oh Jung Se) awards and the show also won Best Screenplay. The Best Actress award for television went to Kim Hee Ae for “The World of the Married.”

For work in variety, Yoo Jae Suk grabbed the Best Male Variety Star award for “How Do You Play?” and Park Na Rae won Best Female Variety Star for “Home Alone” (“I Live Alone”).

In the film category, Lee Byung Hun won Best Actor for “The Man Standing Next” and Jeon Do Yeon won Best Actress for “Birthday.”
