Idol-turned actor Cha Eun Woo is an outstanding, but some netizens are not sure if he deserves this award in the acting category.

On December 2, at the Asia Artist Awards 2021, the “True Beauty” couple Cha Eun Woo and Moon Ga Young took home the Emotive Award in the acting category. However, while Moon Ga Young’s performance is believed to be worthy of the award, Cha Eun Woo has been receiving mixed reactions.

According to some netizens, throughout 2021, the public has been introduced to many great actors who successfully delivered emotional performances.

From My ID is Gangnam Beauty to True Beauty, Cha Eun Woo’s acting and on-screen expressions are deemed ‘monotonous’.

Some netizens claim it was Cha Eun Woo’s handsome visuals that carry his acting. Meanwhile, despite continuing to take on the male lead roles, Cha Eun Woo’s acting is constantly under controversy for being stiff and lacking emotions. Therefore, Cha Eun Woo being crowned the winner of the Emotive Award does not convince a part of the audience.

AAA is an awards ceremony that selects the winners by integrating K-POP, K-DRAMA, and K-MOVIE, which have graced Asia and Korea over the past year.

The awards ceremony will be held on-tact to prevent and prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Hyun Bin is finally addressing the long-standing "ddongcha" (poop car) theory surrounding his character from My Name is Kim Sam-soon—and he's not holding back!

In an interview on the 19th with Star News, the beloved actor confessed, "I was wrong," responding to the reevaluation of his iconic role as Hyun Jin-heon from the 2005 hit drama. The "ddongcha" theory has been a subject of online debate for years, with many viewers critiquing Hyun Jin-heon’s character as overly arrogant and entitled.

Hyun Bin, who first rose to fame in My Name is Kim Sam-soon, took the time to reflect on the character that made him a household name. He shared, “I was just following the script; there were no personal opinions added to the character of Hyun Jin-heon. At that time, I knew Hyun Jin-heon was portrayed as a ‘bad boy,’ and the way it was expressed was different from today’s standards.”

With My Name is Kim Sam-soon now being re-released as part of Wavve's "New Classic" project, fans are revisiting the 2005 drama, and the character of Hyun Jin-heon is under fresh scrutiny. Director Kim Yun-cheol even admitted that the "prince on a white horse" and "bad boy" tropes that once worked in 2005 don’t quite match today's sensibilities, leading to edits in the 2024 version.

Hyun Bin humbly acknowledged his gratitude for his successful career and hit works, saying, "It’s wonderful and I am grateful to have so many hit works. I’ve been fortunate to work with amazing writers, directors, and actors. Thanks to them, I’ve received a lot of attention and love." He also shared a sense of humility, noting, “But I never know when that luck will come again."

Despite the dramatic shift in perspective on his character, Hyun Bin’s charm and dedication remain strong. Fans are eager to see him in his upcoming film Harbin (directed by Woo Min-ho), set to be released on the 24th.
