Actor Hwang Jung-min publicly apologized to actress Kim Go-eun in a light-hearted moment that caught attention during the 46th Blue Dragon Film Awards handprint ceremony held on October 29 at CGV Yeouido in Seoul.
The event was hosted by Park Kyung-lim and attended by Hwang Jung-min, Kim Go-eun, Jung Hae-in, Lee Sang-hee, Noh Sang-hyun, and Park Joo-hyun. The Blue Dragon Film Awards, established in 1963 to promote the growth of Korea’s film industry, is recognized for its credibility and fairness. The handprint ceremony is a traditional pre-event where winners from the previous year leave their handprints in commemoration.
Hwang Jung-min, who won Best Actor at the 45th Blue Dragon Film Awards for his role in 12.12: The Day, shared, “I’m less nervous this time, but it feels bittersweet because a year has already passed. The excitement and gratitude I felt when I received the award are still fresh, and I feel like the handprinting marks the end of that joy. Still, I had such a happy year thanks to it.”
Kim Go-eun, who won Best Actress for Exhuma, added, “The year flew by so quickly. It feels like I received the award just yesterday. Winning at the Blue Dragon is like picking a star from the sky, so I’ll work hard to be like Hwang Jung-min and win it four times someday.”
The pair attracted even more attention for showing up in matching grey-toned suits, unintentionally sporting a “couple look.” Hwang Jung-min playfully addressed the coincidence, saying, “We didn’t plan a dress code. I’m sorry. I feel like I’ve troubled Go-eun.” He added, “My stylist asked me to choose between a grey and a black suit, and I chose grey. At least I didn’t match with Jung Hae-in, so that’s a relief.” His humorous comment drew laughter from the audience.
The 46th Blue Dragon Film Awards will take place on November 19 at the KBS Hall in Yeouido and will be broadcast live on KBS2.
