Actress Kim Tae-ri won the Photogenic award at the “2022 KOPA & NIKON Press Photo Awards”.
On the morning of Sep 19th, the “2022 KOPA & NIKON Press Photo Awards” hosted by the Korea Online Press Photographers Association (KOPA, Chairman Jung So-hee) and sponsored by NIKON Imaging Korea (CEO Jung Hae-hwan) was held at Hotel Riviera Cheongdam, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
Kim Tae-ri, who won the Photogenic award on this day, said, “I heard about press photography when I was in college. That’s why I think this is a more intimate and friendly award. Thank you.”
She added, “I think the promotion period of filming an entire work and preparing for broadcasting and release after post-production is also an extension of the work. I’m working with kindness and gratitude to those who are with me on set. I believe that you gave me this award because you recognized such feelings. I’ll continue to work hard in the future.” Then, she wittily greeted, “See you on set again.”
