The reason why netizens are paying particular attention to this Baeksang Arts Awards is that actors often seen in movies (such as Kim Hye Ja, Lee Byung Hun, Hwang Jung Min, Choi Min Sik and Kim Hye Soo) returned to the small screen and familiar actors (such as Lee Sung Min, Park Eun Bin, Lee Jong Suk, Song Hye Kyo, Nam Goong Min, Kim Go Eun and Son Seok Koo) made headlines for their new acting challenges through “Narco-Saints”, “Extraordinary Attorney Woo”, “Our Blues”, “Under the Queen’s Umbrella”, “My Liberation Notes”, “Little Women”, “Reborn Rich”, “The Glory”, “One Dollar Lawyer”, “Big Mouth”, “Big Bet”…
In particular, netizens mentioned “Reborn Rich (Song Joong Ki, Lee Sung Min)”, “Narco-Saints (Hwang Jung Min)”, “Extraordinary Attorney Woo (Park Eun Bin)”, “Our Blues (Kim Hye Ja, Lee Byung Hun)”, “The Glory (Song Hye Kyo)” and “Big Bet (Choi Min Sik)” as main candidates for Daesang.
Netizens argued on various communities, “I think Lee Byung Hun or Kim Hye Ja will receive it”, “It’s really hard to choose. I think one person among Lee Byung Hun, Kim Hye Ja and Lee Sung Min will win”, “It was all fun, but ‘Extraordinary Attorney Woo’ seemed to be on a different level”, “It’s so competitive”, “Song Hye Kyo is pretty good, too”…
The Baeksang Arts Awards are awards for excellence in film, television and theater in Korea. It has been held in early May every year since 1965 for the development of Korean popular culture and arts.
