Daesang (Grand Prize)

Actor Ji Hyun Woo takes home the Grand Prize for his stellar acting in Young Lady and Gentleman!

Oh wow, I did not expect to win such an honorable prize. Thank you so much for the award. Personally though, I consider this an award for the whole show and cast. I’m taking this award home on behalf of everyone who worked on Young Lady and Gentleman.

I’ve been getting more recognized since taking on the role in Young Lady and Gentleman, especially when I go eat at different restaurants mid-shoot.I’m honestly so grateful that I get to bring entertainment to these viewers. And I know that this means I need to work harder, so that I can better portray the characters and the emotions I’m meant to deliver.

I still get nervous and anxious when I stand in front of the camera. I’m fully aware that I’m able to do what I do, with the support of many others. I could not have made it without the fellow cast and staff of Young Lady and Gentleman, so thank you so much. And I promise to try my best at all times, so that I can continue to move hearts with my acting.

— Ji Hyun Woo

Congratulations to all the winners!
