After surpassing Cha Eun Woo to win Best New Actor at the 2nd Blue Dragon Series Awards, this actor drew huge attention.
The 2nd Blue Dragon Series Awards, which was held on July 19th, have concluded with various well-deserved winners, who did exceptionally well in OTT series and programs.
Having been crowned with the Grand Prize Daesang at this award ceremony, Song Hye Kyo naturally became a prominent name on social media. However, there was another name, which went even more viral than Song Hye Kyo on SNS platform Twitter, and it is none other than Park Ji Hoon. It is known that at the 2nd Blue Dragon Series Awards, Park Ji Hoon secured Best New Actor for his performance in “Weak Hero Class 1”.
In particular, Park Ji Hoon has previously stirred debates at the Baeksang Awards when he left empty-handed, despite having an excellent portrayal in a rather popular series. Therefore, the fact that his acting talents are recognized at the 2nd Blue Dragon Series Awards attracted a lot of discussion.
To secure such an honor, Park Ji Hoon had to surpass strong competitors, including Kim Ki Hae (“Duty After School”), Moon Sang Min (“Duty After School”), Bae In Hyuk (“Cheer Up”), and even Cha Eun Woo (“Island”).
As a result, topics related to Park Ji Hoon have been trending both in and outside of Korea. In fact, on the popular SNS platform Twitter, a congratulatory post for Park Ji Hoon, which is under the hashtag #BlueDragonSeriesAwards2023, is in the lead with over 528 thousand views. This is followed by a congratulatory post for Song Hye Kyo, which received around 388 thousand views. In addition, on the same platform, Park Ji Hoon’s name is mentioned more than any other actor and actress at the award ceremony.
On the other hand, Park Ji Hoon started his career as a child actor, and by the age of 9, had left a strong impression with his impressive acting abilities through various emotional scenes. In 2017, he drew massive attention by appearing on the Mnet survival program “Produce 101 Season 2”, and ended up debuting as a member of project group WANNA ONE. After the group’s disbandment, he made his solo debut as a singer, at the same time taking on various acting projects.
Through notable appearances in “Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency”, “Love Revolution”, “At a Distance, Spring is Green”, and most recently, “Weak Hero Class 1”, Park Ji Hoon has once again proven his capabilities as an actor.
