Ultimately, Kang Tae Oh took home the award, along with his shared award for “Best Couple.” However, Seo Kang Joon’s reaction to not winning quickly became a topic of discussion.

When the four actors were shown on a split screen as the award was announced, Seo Kang Joon could be seen moving as though saying “rats” or “darn it.”

Seo Kang Joon ended up taking home the Grand Prize for his performance in Undercover High School, but netizens found his reaction to be hilarious. The two actors have a long history together, including being in the actor-idol group 5urprise, and appear to still be close.
