Ryu Seung-ryong Opens Up About Baeksang Arts Awards Grand Prize
Ryu Seung-ryong recently shared a hilarious behind-the-scenes story regarding his Grand Prize win at the prestigious South Korea entertainment awards. Appearing on a recent YouTube show, the acclaimed actor reflected on taking home the top honor in the TV division for his standout performance in the hit drama series.
Why Yoo Hae-jin Was Confused During the Group Photo
During the appearance, Ryu Seung-ryong explained how exhausting long award ceremonies can be. While casually sitting and resting after fellow actor Yoo Hae-jin had already won and left his seat, Ryu’s name was suddenly called for the Grand Prize. Because Yoo Hae-jin had stepped away earlier, he was completely unaware that Ryu had also won a major award. During the final group photo session, Yoo gave Ryu a puzzled look, wondering why he kept standing next to him in the shot. When Ryu whispered that he had won too, Yoo quickly offered his warm congratulations.
Reflecting on Acting Careers and Awards
The conversation also featured fellow star Ha Ji-won, who shared her thoughts on receiving recognition in South Korea’s entertainment industry. While discussing their extensive collections of acting trophies, Ryu jokingly remarked that he only has a lifetime achievement award left to receive. Ha Ji-won honestly admitted that winning never loses its charm, noting that it serves as a sweet validation of hard work.
