Lee Jung-ha Won Best New Actor At 60th Baeksang Arts Awards For “Moving”

The 60th Baeksang Arts Awards was held at COEX D Hall in Gangnam-gu, Seoul at 5 p.m. on May 7 (KST). This year, the event was once again hosted by Shin Dong-yup, Suzy and Park Bo-gum.

The New Actor in TV Drama Award was awarded to Yuna, a young actress who starred in ENA’s “The Kidnapping Day.” Yuna said, “I am so happy and honored to be here with so many amazing seniors. Thank you so much for giving me the rookie award,” with a trembling voice, “The director of ‘The Kidnapping Day’ told me, ‘My wish is for you to wear a pretty dress and sit among so many amazing seniors at the awards ceremony,’ and I finally got that award.”

Lee Jung-ha of “Moving” won the Best Actor Award for the same category. “I was grateful to be nominated, and it was amazing, nervous, and grateful that I got such an award,” Lee said. “Actually, I was very scared when shooting “Moving.” I couldn’t even do bungee jumping, so when I had to fly up to the sky using wires, I was really scared, and I wondered if I could do it. The director always told me, ‘You can do it,’ so I was able to do it well.”

Lee Jung-ha also thanked fellow actors and actresses such as Jo In-sung, Han Hyo-joo, and Ko Yoon-jung, adding, “There is one last person who I want to dedicate this award. I know a newlywed couple, and the husband passed away in a tragic accident, leaving the pregnant wife. I hope she will overcome it.”
