Jin Ki-joo and Kim Se-jeong took home the Best Actress trophies at the 2025 MBC Drama Awards.

On the evening of the 30th, at the MBC Media Center in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, the Best Actress in a Miniseries award was presented to Jin Ki-joo and Kim Se-jeong.

Jin Ki-joo expressed her gratitude, saying, "Soo-ah (her character) gave me such a big and beautiful gift. I know very well that I didn't achieve this alone." She thanked her fellow actors, production team, and staff. She also expressed her appreciation to Seo Kang-jun, her co-star, saying, "Haesung, you were the best partner."

Jin Ki-joo added, "I still need to hear that I'm doing well. I am very grateful to the senior actors who praised me after the drama aired. Above all, the words from viewers who loved Soo-ah and enjoyed the drama have kept me going and moving forward."

Kim Se-jeong, from 'Moon River', shared her thoughts, "It seems that the eyes of those who love dreams and art are filled with many stars. I always meet those eyes on stage and on set. I deeply vow to keep dreaming and loving art like Peter Pan."

Kim Se-jeong continued, "I want to keep dreaming as Peter Pan, capturing stars in my eyes, and loving art passionately. I want to support all the Peter Pans out there. I hope for encouragement over harsh criticism for small mistakes. I will continue to work hard and deliver fun performances."
