Actor Jung Ho Yeon, who debuted in Netflix's 'Squid Game', won the Best Actress Award at the American Actors Guild Awards.

On the morning of February 28, the American Actors Guild Awards was held in Santa Monica, California, USA.

Jung Ho Yeon, who competed with Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon of 'Morning Show', Elizabeth Moss of 'The Handmaiden's Tale', and Sarah Snook of 'Succession', won the Best Actress award that day.

Jung Ho Yeon went up to the stage with an expression of disbelief when her name was called.

She cried and said, "Thank you so much. I've seen many actors here as spectators, but I've always dreamed of becoming an actor while watching them. It's a great honor to be here."

At this awards ceremony, 'Squid Game' was also selected as the 'Best Stunt Ensemble Award', an award given to actors and works with the best action acting.

It was the first time a non-English-speaking TV series has won an award, and it received a warm round of applause.

Lee Jung Jae was also the first Asian male actor to win the Best Actor award at the awards ceremony.

On the other hand, 'Squid Game' is a drama in which people who have a lot of debt risk their lives to win 45.6 billion won in a game of memories.

Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

"It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
