Actors Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon, leads of ‘Lovely Runner’, were honored with the Prism Popularity Award at the 61st Baeksang Arts Awards, held on May 5 at COEX D Hall in Gangnam, Seoul.
Hosted by Shin Dong Yup, Suzy, and Park Bo Gum, this year’s ceremony was broadcast live on JTBC, JTBC2, and JTBC4, as well as streamed digitally on Prism, Naver TV, and Chzzzik.
Upon receiving the award, Byeon Woo Seok expressed heartfelt gratitude to his fans, saying,
“Thank you so much for this popularity award. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who took time out of their busy days to support me. Without your interest and love, I wouldn’t be standing here today.”
He continued, “While working on this drama, I read many comments and feedback. What stayed with me most was when someone said the show gave them comfort. I will continue doing my best to be an actor who brings that kind of comfort. I love and thank my fans. And—happy birthday to my agency CEO!”
Kim Hye Yoon, holding her award, remarked,
“This award feels very heavy—perhaps because it carries the weight of the love I’ve received from fans. I sincerely thank you all.”
She added, “You’ve always quietly stood by me and supported me with the same heart. I hope we’ll continue this journey together for a long time. I will work hard to become an actress who gives back love with the same weight this award represents.”
