Hello, I’m Nam Joohyuk. I find it amazing and heart-fluttering when such surprising things happen. I’ll take this as a sign to keep working harder and I’ll keep doing so. And…PD Oh Youngjong,Writer Yang Heeseung, thank you. And, to my mom who’s watching this at home, I love you. Thank you.
Lee Sung Kyung (Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo) won the Excellence Awards Female (Mini-series)
Winner speech:
To God whom I love, I give all this honour. Waaah. Last year, I gratefully accepted the New Actress Award, and I never imagine receiving the Excellence Award a year later. First of all, to PD Oh Wonjeong who introduced me to Bokjoo’s character, thank you. Thank you writer Yang Heeseong for helping me act well, comfortably and prettily. And I think I was also able to act comfortably because of the staff’s help. Thank you to the actors and staff. And to the guy who makes Bokjoo so lovable, Joonyoung-ie. Thank you, Joohyuk. Thank you Soojin-unnie for being in the same drama, dealing with very difficult emotions and cheering Bokjoo on. And thank you Jaeyoon oppa for being so cool, enough that Bokjoo fell for him. Seeing as it’s an award that many people allowed me to receive, I will work hard to become a better actor. Thank you.
They also presented the Golden Acting Awards together.
Speech:
NJH: Bokjoo-yah
LSK: Oh, Jung Joonyoung
NJH: These days, strangely, compared how you look when weightlifting or exercising, seeing you wear a dress is…very…very…surprisingly.
LSK: Jung Joonyoung, you also look a biit handsome today. [returns to herself] Though we’re receiving a lot of love in our current drama, we also walked the runaway for few years together.
NJH: Sure did. Sungyung-sshi, I mean Bokjoo-yah. It feels really good to wear clothes that suit you well, doesn’t it?
LSK: Yeah. Acting seems like the same thing. Just like the effort models put in to wear clothes, actors also put in a great deal of effort to become their character.
NJH: Just like there are top-models who sell out clothes, there are actors who become their characters really well.
LSK: This award is for them.

Date: 2016-12-31 06:05 am (UTC)I read somewhere that apparently Cha Seung Won has been training the YG models in acting so I'm totally willing to attribute their success (especially NJH considering his VAST improvement) to him lol

Date: 2016-12-31 04:06 am (UTC)This is such a weird thing to say but her hair her looks awkward~ (I think it's because her bangs have so much volume in comparison it the rest which is kind of limp?) which is why it bothers me even though it's not like it looks horrible or anything. So I'm leaning towards she cut it and now has extensions.

Date: 2016-12-31 06:04 am (UTC)I love them but they seemed stiff tbh it's probably bc they were model-y. LSK's speech was lovely tho the way she described her costars.
I don't remember whose speech it was that I read but probably Lee Jong Suk who called out that it was YG's birthday and wished him a happy birthday hahahha
Both of them definitely deserve their awards, but it's so weird to me that bc there were so few shows that the same actors get nominated for so many categories like NJH was also nominated for Excellence Award or whatever right. Idk lol
no subject
Date: 2016-12-31 08:59 am (UTC)They did look very stiff and model-y. Esp njh lol. But he tends to look like that when posing at press cons etc ha
I was also kinda laughing at how literally Everyone who has acted in an mbc drama this year was nominated in almost every category there lmao.

Date: 2016-12-31 02:04 pm (UTC)They just seemed more like they were posing for a magazine spread, barely smiling
no subject
Date: 2016-12-31 08:21 am (UTC)that said, both of them deserve some awards because their characters love eachother so much but now that i saw them together in these videos they look stiff as fuck lmao like i was 100% expecting heart eyes emoji coming from both of them to eachother (like in the drama) but i got nothing of sorts…truly acting royalty damn
