Lee Jung Jae, Park Hae Soo, Jung Ho Yeon, and Kim Joo Ryoung of the world-famous blockbuster 'Squid Game' depart for the United States to attend the 28th American Actors Guild Awards (SAG).
 
OSEN said on the afternoon of February 23, Lee Jung Jae, Park Hae Soo, Jung Ho Yeon, Kim Joo Ryoung, and director Hwang Dong Hyuk, the main actors of Netflix's 'Squid Game', will attend the 28th American Actors Guild Awards (SAG) awards ceremony to be held on February 27

Lee Jung Jae departs through Incheon International Airport on a plane that night. He plans to move to the United States in line with the awards ceremony schedule after digesting his overseas schedule first. Jung Ho Yeon, who is already overseas, is planning to move to the United States in consideration of her awards ceremony schedule.

Park Hae Soo is scheduled to board a plane to the United States this weekend, and Kim Joo Ryoung is also leaving for the United States this week. Heo Seong Tae was unfortunately unable to attend due to the scheduled drama schedule.

'Squid Game' is nominated for a total of four categories at the SAG Awards, including the Ensemble Award, the highest award in the TV category, Lee Jung Jae for Best Actor, Jung Ho Yeon for Best Actress, and Stunt Ensemble Award nominations. 

This is the first time in history that a Korean drama has been nominated.

The American Actors Guild Awards is an awards ceremony hosted by the Screen Actors Guild, the world's top actors union. 

The awards are given annually in recognition of their achievements in film and TV fields. At SAG, in 2020, the actors of the movie 'Parasite' received the Ensemble Award for the first time in a non-English-speaking film, and in 2021, Yeo Jeong Yoon won the Best Supporting Actress award for the movie 'Minari'. 

Attention is focused on whether the actors of this year's global hit 'Squid Game' will win the trophy. 

BTS member Jimin made history at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS, becoming the first solo artist ever to win the prestigious Visa Fan’s Choice of the Year award.

On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
