Actress Kim Tae-ri, who dedicated three years to voice training for her character, has won the Best Actress Award.
On the 5th, the 61st Baeksang Arts Awards ceremony for 2025 was held at the COEX D Hall in Gangnam, Seoul. The event was hosted by broadcaster Shin Dong-yup, actors Park Bo-gum, and Suzy, and was broadcast live on JTBC, JTBC2, and JTBC4, with digital streaming available on Prism, Naver TV, and Chizichig.
Nominees for the Best Actress Award in the television category included Go Min-si (In the Forest with No One), Kim Tae-ri (Jeong Nyeoni), Kim Hye-yoon (Run Away with Seon-jae), IU (You Have Been Deceived), and Jang Na-ra (Good Partner).
Upon receiving the Best Actress Award, Kim Tae-ri expressed, "It was an honor to portray the most glorious period of women's national theater. I have immense respect for the teachers who continue to carry on our tradition. I feel there are still many areas where I fall short of deserving such a prestigious award. I tried not to compromise, and while it wasn't the absolute answer, it was my romantic notion. Viewing my shortcomings as romantic might be my desire to do better next time. I will strive to become an actress who uses her ambition as a driving force without being ashamed of it."
She added, "I want to share this award with the staff who sailed with us to the end with love, passion, and responsibility, both in visible and invisible places, and with the actors who bravely walked this difficult path."
