Ryu Jun-yeol, Best Male Actor Award, "Jung Woo-sung is among the candidates..."

'The Owl' actor Ryu Jun-yeol won the Best Male Actor Award in the movie category.

On the afternoon of the 28th, the '2023 59th Baeksang Arts Awards' awards ceremony was held at KINTEX in Ilsan, Gyeonggi-do. Broadcaster Shin Dong-yup and actors Park Bo-gum and Suzy hosted the event, and it was broadcast live on JTBC, JTBC2, JTBC4, and TikTok.

Ryu Jun-yeol said, "When I debuted, I received the Rookie Actor Award here for the movie 'The King,' but I don't know how to express it in words because my fellow nominee, Jung Woo-sung, was there."

He continued, "I think accepting an award is ultimately a time to say thank you. I want to say thank you to the director, CEO, and fellow actors. Every time I finish a work, I reflect on what it feels like to be grateful. This is what I feel these days. I feel grateful that I know people who embrace me when I make a mistake and forgive me when I make a mistake. I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone who has cared for me, forgiven me, and embraced me. “Thank you,” he said.
