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?"

Actor Lee Min Ho recently shared an unforgettable and embarrassing moment from his early career, revealing how he became a “falling star” at his first Baeksang Arts Awards.

On the December 25th episode of You Quiz on the Block (Episode 274), Lee Min Ho made a guest appearance and reflected on his rise to fame.

The actor, known for his iconic role as Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers, won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, but it wasn’t just his victory that grabbed attention.

Lee Min Ho recalled, "I was attending the Baeksang for the first time, and I was so excited. Since I wasn’t going as Goo Jun Pyo, but as Lee Min Ho, I styled my hair in a perm and was ready to go." However, things took an unexpected turn when he tripped and fell on the red carpet.

He sighed, recalling, "That day, I fell. I fell and created so many memes. Even now, I look back and think, 'How did I walk that quickly on the red carpet?'"

Laughing at his own clumsiness, he admitted, "I was moving at the speed of light, no composure, no focus. Honestly, more than the joy of winning the award, that day was chaotic and so embarrassing for me."

Though his win was a highlight, Lee Min Ho humorously shared that the incident of tripping overshadowed the excitement of his achievement.

It’s safe to say that while the fall became a funny meme, it also became a lesson in humility for the actor, and a moment that fans still remember to this day.
