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.

Former AOA member Kwon Min Ah—who opened up in the past about being bullied—has once again shared a deep and emotional message on social media, leaving fans feeling concerned and sending love.

On April 23, Min Ah took to her Instagram to write:
“I don’t know if I’ve become completely twisted, or if I’m just scared. Maybe I’m afraid the same thing will happen again. Everything feels scary. And I want to say something sharp to myself too—get it together.”

Along with the message, she posted a selfie where she wore a red knit top, had her hair half-up, and showed a soft pout with a calm expression. Though her outfit and style looked casual, the mood of her words felt heavy.

Fans aren’t sure if Min Ah was directing the message toward someone else or simply speaking to herself. The final line, “get it together,” sounds like a tough love reminder to herself—but also makes many wonder what she’s been going through recently.

People quickly filled the comment section with supportive messages, telling her to stay strong and reminding her she’s not alone.

Min Ah debuted with AOA in 2012 and left the group in 2019. In 2020, she made headlines when she revealed that she had been bullied during her time in the group. The confession caused a huge reaction in the K-pop world, leading to conversations about idols’ mental health and group dynamics.

Recently, she surprised fans when it was revealed she began working as a manager at a dermatology clinic, showing a new side of her life outside of the entertainment spotlight.

Fans continue to cheer her on, hoping she finds peace and happiness in whatever path she chooses next.
