Shin Dong-yup, Suzy, and Park Bo-gum Return as Hosts for the 61st Baeksang Arts Awards

The iconic trio of Shin Dong-yup, Suzy, and Park Bo-gum will once again grace the stage as hosts for the 61st Baeksang Arts Awards with Gucci, continuing their successful collaboration since 2018.

On May 5th at 8 PM, the three hosts will lead the prestigious event at the COEX D Hall in Gangnam, Seoul. This marks their seventh time hosting together, and expectations are high for another memorable ceremony.

Shin Dong-yup, a veteran host, will take the Baeksang MC microphone for the eleventh time. Having hosted from the 50th to the 52nd ceremonies and continuously from the 54th to the 61st, his commanding presence and eloquent speech have become a staple of the event. This year, he is also a nominee for the Best Male Entertainer in the TV category, aiming for his third trophy following wins at the 30th and 50th ceremonies.

Suzy, known as the 'Icon of Baeksang,' celebrates her 10th anniversary as a Baeksang MC this year. She is the first in Baeksang history to achieve this milestone without missing a single year. Suzy first connected with Baeksang by winning the New Actress awards in both TV and film categories, and since 2016, she has been a constant presence. Her elegant hosting and much-anticipated fashion choices make her a highlight of the event.

Park Bo-gum, known for his warm and comforting presence, returns for his seventh time as a Baeksang MC. After showcasing his impressive hosting skills from the 54th to the 56th ceremonies, he took a brief hiatus for military service during the 57th ceremony. He returned for the 58th ceremony, marking his first post-service appearance, and has been a flawless host ever since. This year, he is also nominated for Best Actor in the TV category for his role in Netflix's 'You Have Done Well,' adding excitement to his dual role as host and nominee.

The 61st Baeksang Arts Awards with Gucci, the only comprehensive awards ceremony in Korea covering TV, film, and theater, announced its nominees on April 7th via its official website and social media. The event will be broadcast live on JTBC, JTBC2, and JTBC4, with Gucci partnering for the third consecutive year.
