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?"

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.
