The 59th Baeksang Arts Awards celebrated some of the best in television, film, and theater from the past year!
The annual ceremony took place on April 28 at Paradise City in Incheon and was hosted by Shin Dong Yup, Suzy, and Park Bo Gum.
The Grand Prize in film went to director Park Chan Wook for “Decision to Leave,” with lead star Tang Wei winning Best Actress. As Park Chan Wook was not present to personally receive the award, it was accepted on his behalf by art director Ryu Seong Hee, who worked on “Decision To Leave” and won Best Art Direction this evening for tvN’s “Little Women.” She shared, “As of this year, it’s been 30 years since director Park Chan Wook began [making] movies, and 20 years ago, he received love from all around the world with ‘Old Boy.’ I think he will feel very rewarded to receive an award in this kind of year.”
In the television category, the Grand Prize was given to Park Eun Bin for her role in ENA’s “Extraordinary Attorney Woo.” The actress shared through tears, “I am receiving this on behalf of our team. Thank you.”
Park Eun Bin explained that the love and attention the drama received had exceeded everyone’s expectations. She then added, “I did think that it would be nice to become an adult who receives a Grand Prize if I did not give up on my dream to be an actress, so thank you for making that dream come true today. I hope that my attempt to understand Young Woo was a good experience [for others] to learn at least a bit about the autism spectrum, and I hope it was as helpful as all the kind words and attention I received.”
She continued, “Although I did not have the ambitious goal of playing a role in changing the world, I acted with the hopes that through this drama, we would be able to have kinder hearts than before and recognize the unique characteristics each person has as variety rather than differences. Thank you for taking interest in and carrying out those footsteps.”
Yoo In Shik of “Extraordinary Attorney Woo” was awarded Best Director and shared, “I applaud the amazing acting of actress Park Eun Bin, who made Woo Young Woo an unforgettable character in viewers’ hearts all around the world last summer.” He expressed his gratitude for the cast and crew of “Extraordinary Attorney Woo” and added, “I hope that the hearts with which this drama was created are conveyed to all the Young Woo’s of the world who are standing in front of revolving doors.”
Also scoring three awards in the television category was Netflix’s “The Glory,” which took home Best Drama, in addition to Song Hye Kyo and Lim Ji Yeon winning Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress respectively. Two films additionally won three trophies each, including “The Night Owl” taking home Best New Director, Best Actor, and Best Film, and “Next Sohee” winning Best New Actress, Best Screenplay, and the Gucci Impact Award.

Song hye kyo aged so well..
ReplyDeleteAgree!
DeleteLumabas ang difference sa photoshoots niya. Sa event, marami na pala siyang crow's feet, wrinkles, laugh lines. Buti no botox siya diyan.
Delete12:54 Omg! Of course she already has those things as she’s in her 40s. But nevertheless, she still remains one of the most beautiful faces in SoKor.
DeleteShe's 43 n ata and I agree sya tlg ang bet kong Korean beauty ever since Endless love ang sarap tgnan ng muka nya.
DeleteSongHyekyo talaga standard sa K-Beauty .. congrats well-deserved
DeleteCongrats SHK ..pinaka maganda na best actress pa
DeletePero kapag close up at no make up look, Kita na rin Ang age. Check niyo sa the glory. Naging issue sa Korea Yung visual look niya sa series, google it...
DeleteI didn't know na close sila Song Hye Kyo at Lim Ji Yeon. Nakakatuwa naman.
ReplyDeleteAng hirap tandaan mga muka nila. Pareho lang ang hulma.
ReplyDeleteLol. True.wala ng identity
DeleteOo si song hye kyo at han so hee lang naalala ko hehe.
DeleteBefore ganyan din ako sis pero if nahilig ka sa kdrama o kpop madali mo naman tandaan mukha nila. Iisa kasi style nila sa pag makeup at pananamit kaya medyo boring sa kanila at nagiging magkakamukha sila.
DeleteOk naman mga K-actors, yung mga idols talaga, hirap na hirap ako tandaan mga mukha. Bukod sa halos pare-pareho na nga mukha, paiba-iba pa kulay ng buhok. One day, black then next kita may kulay na. Lalo na mga bago ngayon, same² na ng hitsura. Haha
DeleteLee Sung Min's win was pretty obvious.
ReplyDeleteDazurv
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Jinyoung of Got7.
ReplyDeleteSana may ganitong prestigious award giving body din ang pilipinas. Ang layo layo na ng level ng SK sa Pinas. Pati mga stories nila, mga artista nila ang lalayo talaga. Sa pinas puro loveteam at comedy na walang kwenta!
ReplyDeleteHmm, ph cinema/entertainment used to be prestigious given na tayo ang oldest entertainment industry in asia, but yung political landscape and yung kawalan ng sense of responsibility/accountability ng mga media corporations (just give people what they want the same way na irresponsible parents give their kids what they want even if it's junk food all day) pretty much destroyed the industry.
DeleteThe glory 1 & 2 was awesome. Great revenge series. All the cast, all were great. Congrats SHK!
ReplyDeleteDecision to Leave at Night Owl, idadagdag ko kayo sa list. Anong movie yung nagsasign language? Sige, Christmas Carol na rin dahil kay Jinyoung.
ReplyDeleteGaling na galing ako kay Kim Hye Soo ng Under The Queen's Umbrella, hyped naman si Song Hye Kyo. Iba pala itsura niya sa photoshoot niya kesa sa live ngayon.
ReplyDeletemalamang sis! She’s already 40+ pero beautiful ever since autumn in my heart na kdrama niya.
DeleteVery determined ang hype ng The Glory kasi kahit siya ang weak acting sa cast.
DeleteOo naman sis 4:08 talagang dyosa si ate gurl. Pero wala sa latest shoots niya ang bata tingnan pero live may difference pala.
DeleteSana ayusin ng industry natin mga awards night natin para parang may prestige katulad nito.
ReplyDeleteWatched Under the Queen's umbrella ang galing ng acting ni Moon Sang Min dun, i say well deserved talaga ❤️
ReplyDeleteAgree gaguapo ng princes at gagaling. Bet ko run yung prince na trans pala, yung late crowned prince at si Sang min. Guapo. 7:06
DeleteAng weird lang kasi how can you win the Grand Prize pero not Best Actress? So second best ba yung nanalong Best Actress? Pa explain mga ses.
ReplyDeletei think the grand prize (daesang) is not limited to the acting lang. Di lang kc sa actors pede i award yun it can be a program, a tv show, movie, directors etc.. kapag daesang kase it means ganun kalaki yung impact mo sa korean entertainment industry and pwedeng internationally din. so yeah second best yung "best actress" so kapag may daesang award ka it means tinalo mo silang lahat sa husay ng performance mo. afaik pang apat pa lang si Eun Bin na actress na nakatanggap ng daesang sa buong entertainment industry ng korea
DeleteKahit kelan walang kwenta ang mga nananlo sa awards na yan imagine si kim Go eun di man lang na nominate for best actress sa Little Women pero napasama sa technical
ReplyDeleteTrue! Ang galing ni KGE di man na nominate! Very deep and natural ang acting niya kahit saang drama. She’s underrated
DeleteSi grandpa from reborn rich! Well deserved nia. Nakakainis na nakakaawa sha dun
ReplyDeleteAm just so happy am over K-Drama na! My last series was Extraordinary Attorney Woo.
ReplyDeleteI'm into kdrama pero di naman yung isang upuan lang. Minsan nga after 2wks ko pa napapanood nxt ep. Ayun, medyo nakakalimutan tuloy previous ep. Haha
DeleteI love how simple their gowns and make up but yet their beauty and class stand out. Park Eun Bin deserves her Grand prize win as Atty. Woo!
ReplyDeleteIt's because sobrang conservative ng mga award shows sa SK. Han Ye Seul got so much flak at an awards show for wearing dark eyeliner and a nose ring lol.
