*** I'm happy that Disney+’s excellent series Moving takes the Daesang (Grand Prize) this year. I never expected "Moving" to be as good as it was. And while the nominations skewed a bit on the ~edgy~ side of the dramaverse, it’s great to see all these talented actors named. It was neck and neck in some categories while some nominations were a little bit off. Baeksang Arts Awards 2024: The winners Film “12.12: The Day,” directed by Kim Sung-su, won the Grand Prize in the Film category while Disney+ TV show “Moving” took the Grand Prize in the Television Category at The 60th Baeksang Arts Awards. The 60th Baeksang Arts Awards, one of the three most prestigious awards ceremonies in Korea honoring the best work of the Korean entertainment industry, was held at Coex in southern Seoul on Tuesday afternoon.

May 8, 2024 Lee Byung Hun at the 60th Baeksang Arts Awards: Highlights Part 3 There was this little interactive corner during the ceremony where host Shin Dong Yeop talked with the audience members, and he started with Lee Byung hun bestie, of course. SDY: Let’s start with Lee Byung hun ssi, because he is someone who’s won Baeksang trophy for 7 times already. That’s why unlike other award ceremonies, I think Baeksang awards must feel more comfortable and friendly. What do you think? LBH: I think I did receive a lot of awards at Baeksang awards, thats why it is the award ceremony I always feel grateful for. SDY: Yes. You know unlike other award ceremonies, when we interview people at Baeksang, we always do a close up shot of people, and others could feel a bit flustered during those moments, but it seems our actors here aren’t feeling that awkward at all. So, lastly, Lee Byung hun ssi, could you please show your trademark wide smile to the viewers of Baeksang? And I am not talking about your regular smile here, but that smile you had in your Donut TVCFs from the 90s as if you just got paid your modeling fees. 🤣 please do it in the camera. LBH: Oh here? Hello. I am Lee Byung hun. I know you guys have been waiting for a long time, but sooner or later, I will come back with a good projects. Please wait for me a little more. Thank you very much! Because of this I got to revisit this Donut TVCF after such a long time, and LBH really did his pose of biting his donut like in the advertisement naturally while he was asked by his friend. I know Shin Dong Yeob and LBH’s friendship goes back a long way, and I am sure there was some inside joke about his smile too, because that specific details about “smile as if you just got paid” was so bff coded. Lol. Shin Dong yeob saw his chance and took it! LBH looks so adorable. The 90s Dunkin Donuts TVCF in question. 😆 His eyes! His eyes!😍 his Dunkin donut TVCF is one of my all-time favorite. He looks so pretty and his eyes have that mischievous sparkle but at the same time so deep and mysterious that you can’t help but feel drawn to them.

Quotes from 'Queen of Tears' that Made it an Unforgettable Drama One of the top dramas of 2024, ‘Queen of Tears’ came to an end recently. True to the title, the show had fans bawling their eyes. But in the end, it was all worth it. Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won owned the drama with the supporting cast being just as good. It had fans rooting for not just the main couple but our second leads, too. The show started off as a love story between Baek Hyun Woo, the legal director of Queens Group, and Hong Hae In, the daughter of the company's owners as they navigate through a crisis in their marriage. But soon, we get to see many twists and turns. It is like an emotional rollercoaster that will move you to tears at times and keep you hooked at others. As we bid farewell to "Queen of Tears," let us revisit some of its best quotes that have made it an unforgettable drama. “There are times when people completely forget things even if they’re not sick. I was the same. I had forgotten it all.” – Baek Hyun Woo “If anything, I’m miserable. But I’m only able to endure it because of the smallest happiness that I feel once in a blue moon. That’s marriage. That’s life.” – Hyun Woo’s Father, Baek Du Gwan

@partyon There's a common misunderstanding that Mongolia food are very unhealthy because Mongolians live only on meats and dairy products. However nowadays this misunderstanding is slowly fading as more and more tourists visiting Mongolia is getting introduced to it's modern- balanced diet. @rocat There are many who say they love traveling. Not many know why. My reason is 'because it is fun', 'because I like to check out new places and meet different people', 'because I get to learn', etc. In a new place you see a way to eat, commute, socialize, which is different from what you have been used to. You get distanced from your habitual wants, needs and desires. You become 'mindful' to what happens around. Like, when your travel is nearing, you think What time does the flight leave? Which gate? Have I packed everything? Then, while there on the place already, How do I get back to the hotel? And when you arrive in your hotel, Which button to switch the TV on? – hahaha – those things……. It’s like yoga, swaying to music, meditation. Your mind and body align better with each other. That's why, I love traveling.

Hwang Jungmin : “Then to who is an incomparable film comrade and whom I love so much, Woo Sung. This was a work that required courage and I didn't have that courage, but Director Kim Sung Su gave me courage, saying, 'You have great courage, so you can work hard.' Thank you.””“I love Woosung so much” 🥺🩷 SOURCE [2013/11/22 | 34th Blue Dragon Film Awards] Jung Woosung being mentioned in Hwang Jungmin's speech.

Ji Sung Opens Up About The Struggles Of Playing A Drug Addict In "Connection" Ji Sung has shared his honest thoughts on his role in SBS’s upcoming drama “Connection”! “Connection” is a new crime thriller starring Ji Sung as Jang Jae Kyung, a well-respected detective who is the ace of the narcotics unit. Although Jang Jae Kyung is a trusted detective who cares deeply about his principles, his world is turned upside down when he is kidnapped and forcibly addicted to a mysterious new drug against his will. Looking back on his experience playing Jang Jae Kyung, Ji Sung confessed that he struggled with many aspects of the role. “Since I’d never played a drug-addicted detective before, it wasn’t easy to portray the character, and there was a limit to my imagination,” recalled Ji Sung. “So while acting, I felt as though I were hitting a wall. But I tried to pursue reality for some aspects [of my acting], while I left other aspects up to my imagination.” “Unlike a movie, a drama’s pace is drawn out, so I worried whether [the portrayal of] drug addiction might grow exhausting,” he continued, “and I tried to approach the subject matter carefully. I also struggled with deciding how far I should go in terms of portraying the symptoms [of addiction].” Revealing just how cautious he was in his approach to the role, Ji Sung added, “Although drugs are a crucial part of investigating the case in ‘Connection,’ I also thought that I shouldn’t depict them lightly or in a way that was too relatable.” As for the character of Jang Jae Kyung, Ji Sung noted, “Jang Jae Kyung believes that friendship doesn’t exist, and while playing Jang Jae Kyung, I felt that this was sad and pitiful. I thought that he was a very lonely person.” In terms of how he prepared for the drama, Ji Sung shared, “Since I couldn’t actually try taking drugs, I did a lot of research [about addiction]. There were many aspects of the drama that were difficult and overwhelming to act out, so I tried my best to find the right level [of intensity] in terms of my acting. In order to show a weakened appearance, rather than working out, I pretty much gave up on the joy of eating. During filming, I ate almost only nuts in order to maintain [a low] weight.” “‘Connection’ has a lot of powerful, weighty elements, such as a bad friendship between classmates and a police officer who is addicted to drugs. So I think viewers will find it entertaining, to the extent where you won’t be able to tear your eyes off the screen. As the time approaches for us to show you the results of [our labor], I feel both worried and excited at the same time. Right now, we need the viewers’ unsparing support. Please give us lots of anticipation and interest.” “Connection” will premiere on May 24 at 10 p.m. KST. Check out the latest teaser for the drama here! credit : soompi news

But since it was my first time meeting him, I couldn't say it.” Producer Na Young-seok said, "What's special about actor Kim Soo-hyun is that before that, when he was bowling in martial arts, whether he was bowling or not, the way he talked and did things was very natural, fresh and boy-like, so he had a style of putting on a show.
