Popular Actress Is A Proud Mother Watching Her “Daughter” Win At The “61st Baeksang Awards”

The 61st Baeksang Arts Awards were filled with touching speeches and unforgettable moments, but one heartwarming scene in particular stood out to viewers and quickly went viral online.

Actress Jeon Do Yeon and rising star Roh Yoon Seo, who captured hearts as an on-screen mother-daughter duo in the hit K-Drama Crash Course in Romance, were seated next to each other during the ceremony. Both looked absolutely radiant — Jeon in a soft yellow gown and Roh in an elegant white dress.

When Roh’s name was announced for the “Best New Actress – Movie” award, the young actress was visibly stunned. Her first reaction wasn’t to walk up to the stage, but to turn and hug Jeon Do Yeon. The sweet gesture immediately drew attention, with many calling it one of the most adorable moments of the night.

As Roh made her way to accept the award, Jeon was filmed clapping with a wide and bright smile, clearly moved by the win. Her expression radiated pride, just like any mother cheering for her daughter’s big moment.

The two actresses became incredibly close while filming Crash Course in Romance, where Jeon played Nam Haeng Seon, a former national handball player turned banchan shop owner. Roh portrayed Hae Yi, Haeng Seon’s adopted daughter and niece, who was abandoned by her birth mother as a child. The show explored the pressures of Korea’s competitive education system through the lens of their family and personal struggles.

Thanks to her performance in Crash Course In Romance, this isn’t Roh’s first recognition at the Baeksang Awards. She previously won “Best New Actress – Television” in 2023!

Seeing the pair reunited at this year’s ceremony reminded fans just how impactful their bond was, both on-screen and off. It’s clear the mother-daughter connection they built on screen has carried over into real life — and fans are loving every second of it.
