Lee Junho and Kim Tae Ri took home the award for best acting in a TV drama.

Lee Junho and Kim Tae Ri won best acting awards in the TV category at the "58th Baeksang Art Awards" on May 6 at KINTEX in Ilsan, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, for "The Red Sleeve" and "Twenty Five Twenty One", respectively.

The two, who previously received the "TikTok Popularity Award" based on fan voting, garnered attention by obtaining the finest acting award.

On the same day, Lee Junho stated, "Honestly, I truly wanted to win this award. Honestly, I debated whether I should write an acceptance speech because my dream and reality might be different, but yesterday, before I went to bed, I felt very strongly that I wanted to win the main prize."

"I don't know what to say, but first and foremost, I want to thank everyone who has supported me throughout The Red Sleeve," he stated. "I'm going to be a better person from now on, and I'm going to do better in the future," he continued.

Kim Tae Ri appeared uncomfortable and stated, "I believed I'd never have to take it; I didn't even think I'd get it".

She added, "When I viewed the seniors' video earlier, I thought, 'Oh, there are things I wasn't able to tell when I received the Popularity Award,'" she said.

"I wasn't able to talk about the actors, directors, authors, and staff that I worked with." Since I came back on stage, I'll use this time again to thank you for your hard work".

"I will attempt to become a better actor in the future", Kim Tae Ri concluded.

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.

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.
