At the 58th Baeksang Arts Awards, actor Lee Jung Jae, who worked incredibly hard on "Squid Game", did not get an individual award.

The 58th Baeksang Art Awards were held on May 6th at KINTEX in Ilsan.

Lee Jung Jae appeared in the photo zone on this day wearing a clean all-white suit and showcasing his walking charm.

Lee Jung Jae was nominated for the Best Actor Award in the TV category for his haunting performance in Netflix's blockbuster film "Squid Game."

Prominent candidates on the list including Kim Nam Gil, Lee Junho, Im Si Wan, and Jung Hae In.

Finally, the best acting award went to Lee Junho, who rose to fame with MBC's "The Red Sleeve."

Squid Game received three awards, including the Grand Prize, the Directing Prize, and the Art Prize, but the main actor, Lee Jung Jae, did not receive anything.

Lee Jung Jae became the first Asian actor to win Best Actor at the American Actors Guild Awards in February.

Netizens were also dissatisfied that he had no fans at the domestic award event, despite the fact that he was acknowledged globally for his acting abilities.

"It doesn't make sense", one netizen asked, "I thought he was going to win the 'Grand' prize because he didn't win the 'Best' prize", and "The ripple effect was unprecedented, so what happened?"

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.
