Hello! Hello! Hello! Baeksang Arts Awards is tom night. I’m so excited and at the same time, torn between the nominees in the Best Actor Category huhuhu They ALL deserved to win!
Overheard that Seo Yea Ji won the popularity award! Congratulations! Wondering if she will attend or not despite of her recent involvement in overlapping controversies.
No, Koreans sometimes are crazy. For most entertainers they are totally unforgiving, even a small thing, the suspicion of a small thing, will ruin their career forever. Poor Shin Hye Sun had contracts cancelled because she was involved in the previous project of someone who got into a controversy, at a time when he was not yet controversial. And now this woman, who has been accused of very serious things, not one but several, when each of them would have been enough to sink her, not only is left alone, but wins a popularity award? WHAT?!
@irmar maybe fans wanted SYJ to get out from her shell since she didn’t attend her movie’s press conference. Or maybe the Korean Media wanted to see a glimpse of her… you know the buzz & biz…
Well-said! I couldn’t agree more. Though I have nothing against the win, neither for her nor against her, if the “win” is true, then “the crazies” have gone crazier with all that they have done to others, whether directly or indirectly.
I wish every nominee and every cast/crew the very best of luck. As a viewer, I applaud all of you for bringing us so many awesome K-dramas. If I could wish a win for anyone or any team, I’d wish it for everyone! You are all winners in your own right, for I am…
Personally, not into watching award shows, but Korean tv/cinema has been incredible lately, and I’ve been recommending it to everyone I know, despite netizens taking some of the joy out of following the industry.
Like everyone else in this post seems to be, I’m rooting for the women who have been unfairly put on trial and found guilty by netizens. Very glad SYJ won the popularity award. I hope these women can continue to work in the future.
