Seo Jun-young, Eom Hyun-kyung, and Oh Seung-ah Win Best Acting Awards at the 2024 MBC Acting Awards
On the afternoon of December 5th, the 2024 MBC Acting Awards were broadcast. Although the awards ceremony was held on November 30th, MBC chose not to air it live due to the national mourning period following the tragic accident at Muan International Airport. Instead, they aired a recorded version of the event. The ceremony was hosted by Kim Seong-joo and Chae Soo-bin.
The Best Male Actor in the daily drama and short drama category was awarded to Seo Jun-young for his role in ‘Brave and Fearless Yong Soo-jung’ (용감무쌍 용수정). Expressing his gratitude during his acceptance speech, Seo Jun-young thanked his colleagues and family, saying, “Everything will be alright, and it will always be fine. I wish you all a lot of blessings in the New Year.”
The Best Female Actor award in the same category was jointly awarded to Eom Hyun-kyung and Oh Seung-ah for their performances in ‘Brave and Fearless Yong Soo-jung’ and ‘The Third Marriage’ (세 번째 결혼), respectively.
Oh Seung-ah shared, “I worked with Hyun-kyung a few years ago, and it feels special to receive this award together.” She then expressed her gratitude to the drama team, staff, family, Rainbow members, and viewers. “Before ‘The Third Marriage,’ I went through a slump after playing villain roles for four consecutive projects. But then I found ‘The Third Marriage.’ Looking back after completing the filming, I realized that my previous works had helped me grow and develop. I reflected on my feelings of doubt and promised to act with gratitude for whatever character I meet in the future,” she said. Oh Seung-ah also mentioned, “I pray that 2025 will be filled with good things.”
Eom Hyun-kyung stated, “I believe that I received this award on behalf of the staff and actors of ‘Brave and Fearless Yong Soo-jung.’ It was a tough eight months, but thanks to your support, we enjoyed the filming process.” She added, “I am an actress who loves daily dramas. I hope that daily dramas will continue to receive the attention and love of viewers forever.” Eom Hyun-kyung also noted, “I feel that without the support and encouragement of my loving family, I wouldn’t have been able to focus entirely on the drama. I want to express my gratitude and love for them.”
