Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 639 The Much-Anticipated Award! The Crown of Best Actor!
Kintex Clubhouse, Ilseong-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, Seoul.

The early summer night was bathed in neon lights.

The black van drove smoothly on the highway from Seoul to Goyang, with neon lights outside the window reflecting on Kwon Heonhyuk's calm profile.

He was dressed impeccably in a Louis Vuitton haute couture suit, and was resting with his eyes closed, conserving his energy for the long night ahead.

The car was quiet, with only the soft sound of the air conditioner blowing air.

"Buzz...buzz..."

The phone in the inside pocket of his suit jacket kept vibrating, breaking the silence.

The names that popped up on the screen were lively and energetic.

Upon opening, a barrage of emoticons and emojis in Liu Zhimin's personal style was indeed displayed.

"Oppa, go go go!! (_)"

[A lively kitten waving a glow stick.jpg]
"I absolutely have to win Best Actor tonight and beat everyone else!!"

"I'll lend you some good words!"

The message was replied almost instantly.

"Yay! We'll win!!! You have to win, oppa!!! (>ω<) [Hamster cheering.jpg]"

Kwon Hyun-hyuk replied with two messages, but then his attention was drawn to a message from Tzuyu.

Tzuyu's message was simple and heartwarming.

Tzuyu: Oppa, fighting! Sana unnie and I will watch the live stream and cheer you on!

"I believe in you! [Image of a bunny with a clenched fist]"

Quan Xuanhe felt a mixture of warmth and trepidation in his heart.

There shouldn't be any major problems with these two being together.

"Thank you, Tzuyu. I hope we can win an award today."

Chou Tzu-yu then sent a voice message, her soft, sweet Taiwanese accent almost sickeningly sweet.

"Oppa, fighting! I hope you get the award you want tonight. Hard work pays off!"

In a word, it's naturally sweet.

Meiyan then sent a voice message.

Quan Xuanhe clicked on it, and her gentle yet slightly nervous voice rang out in the carriage.

"Are you in the car yet? Don't be nervous! The judges will definitely see your talent! Go for it! Fighting!"

"Even if he doesn't win the award, it's okay. I'll still give Xuanhe a reward. (shy) (flower)"

The car fell silent again, but the atmosphere was completely different.

Those encouragements and expectations, whether passionate, arrogant, or warm, flowed into Quan Xuanhe's heart like an invisible warm current.

Although he remained clear-headed about the outcome, it was indeed a good feeling to be supported and watched over by these important people at this moment.

The van smoothly drove off the highway, and the massive silhouette of the Kintex Clubhouse appeared in the night, brightly lit, foreshadowing the eventful gathering tonight.

Quan Xuanhe took a deep breath, composed himself, and adjusted his mindset.

The vans slowly drove to the backstage area of ​​the venue, which was a large open space. The organizers had already marked out the parking spots for each artist's van.

One side is for parking, and the other side is an open space with a red carpet set up on the other side.

There were quite a few celebrities present. If they were to walk the red carpet according to their debut year, Kwon Heonhyuk would have to appear first.

The backstage area was quite noisy, with various artists and their teams.

There were quite a few celebrities present, and Kwon Heon-hyuk saw several familiar faces as soon as he got out of the car.

Jung Ho-yeon from the cast of "Squid Game".

Also, Girls' Generation's Yoona and Seohyun.

Of course, the latter is not an acquaintance, but someone they know from the news.

Jung Ho-yeon and Lim Yoon-ah were quite familiar with each other. When Kwon Seon-hyuk arrived at the waiting area, he saw her holding hands with Lim Yoon-ah, talking with a big smile on her face.

Quan Xuanhe didn't go over because when he got out of the car, people surrounded him and greeted him.

It's Li Yumei.

This is a minor supporting character in "The Squid Game," the one who voluntarily gave up his chance during the pinball game and was moved to tears.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk remembers her role as the villain in "Zombie School," which aired earlier this year.

She doesn't look like a typical beauty; she has a very distinctive appearance and is suitable for playing villainous roles.

Kwon Heon-hyuk didn't communicate much with her on the set of "Squid Game" because they didn't have any scenes together.

"I hope you win Best Actor today."

Li Yumei congratulated him with a warm smile.

That's a nice thing to say.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk smiled and nodded, offering the same pleasantry, "I wish you the Best New Actress award."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Jung Ho-yeon and Im Yoon-ah, having finished their own greetings, turned around, saw him, and joined him with smiles.

"long time no see."

Jung Ho-yeon's career has skyrocketed; she's not only doing well in South Korea, but she's also making waves in Europe and America.

Her unique appearance makes it difficult for her to have a long-term career in South Korea. If she were to play the lead role in a melodrama, it would probably be incredibly distracting.

So they simply decided to expand directly into Europe and America.

"How is it now?"

"We haven't taken on any new projects yet; we're mainly focused on events right now."

Since the Squid Game, Jung Ho-yeon's business has soared, and she is busy with her main job as a model.

Not far away, Lim Yoona noticed Kwon Heonhyuk talking to Jung Hoyeon and glanced at him a few times.

The two had little interaction.

However, according to what Lim Yoon-a learned from the director, the original plan for the male lead in her Baeksang Arts Awards nomination film "Miracle" was Kwon Heon-hyuk, but he couldn't be invited to join, and the script didn't even catch his eye.

The male lead in her movie was supposed to be a handsome and sunny high school boy and a math genius, and Kwon Heon-hyuk was a perfect fit for the role. At that time, he had just won the Grand Slam of Best New Films and was very popular.

Ultimately, Kwon Heon-hyuk was too busy and didn't like the project, so Park Jung-min was chosen to star.

Park Jung-min is the one who starred alongside Kim Ji-soo in "New Utopia".

Following her gaze, Seohyun looked at Kwon Heonhyuk.

She had noticed Quan Xuanhe a while ago, but since they were complete strangers, she didn't say hello.

Her performance in the film "Unbanned Men and Women," which earned her a nomination for Best New Actress, was so dedicated and unconventional.

It's that SM-themed movie that shattered fans' innocent maknae (youngest member) image, making them exclaim that it was a terrible movie.

Although the content isn't rated 18+, the subject matter itself is already enough to make male fans cry. How can they stand this?

Waaaaah, our maknae should even keep her first kiss. She should be a simple, upright girl who reads Zhuangzi and dreams of becoming a diplomat, oblivious to the ways of the world.

It's just that South Korea's "wolf warrior" mentality has stopped.

Kwon Heon-hyuk was originally the first choice for the male lead in "Unbanned Men and Women".

To be frank, Kwon Hyun-hyuk could easily defeat this kind of character; he had no potential to become a breakout star, and his team composition was also mediocre.

To be frank, Seohyun is far from being a good actress. If it weren't for the fame she gained from Girls' Generation, she would have faded into obscurity.

After a brief exchange with Jung Ho-yeon, Kwon Hyun-hyuk ran into Lee Jung-jae as he was heading to his waiting area.

Lee Jung-jae's face lit up with a mature and composed smile when he saw Kwon Heon-hyuk.

“Hyuk.” Lee Jung-jae extended his hand to shake his.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk immediately stepped forward, bowed slightly, and respectfully shook the other's hand: "Hello, senior."

"We're competitors tonight."

Lee Jung-jae was nominated for Best Actor just like him for his role in "Squid Game," and he was absolutely right.

However, Lee Jung-jae's mood remained unchanged; he didn't have high expectations for winning the Best Actor award.

This drama is very popular, but frankly speaking, it's hard to say whether he can win the Best Actor award based on his acting performance. The judges probably won't give him the award because of that.

That's the consensus in the industry too. Although the TV series is incredibly popular, its reputation is just so-so, and it doesn't have much of an advantage when it comes to winning awards.

Just then, a PD with a name tag around his neck walked over quickly and stopped next to Kwon Heonhyuk with a clear purpose.

"Kwon Hyun-hyuk! Get ready, your turn is coming up soon. Please wait here. The red carpet will begin shortly!"

The PD raised his voice slightly amidst the noisy background noise, holding a schedule in his hand and gesturing towards the red carpet.

“Okay, I’ll be right there.” Quan Xuanhe responded quickly, without the slightest hesitation.

He turned to Lee Jung-jae, nodded slightly again, his posture impeccable: "Hyung, I need to go and prepare now."

Lee Jung-jae nodded understandingly, smiling broadly: "Go ahead, the stage is waiting for you."

His focus is on "The Hunt," which will be released in the next two months; that's far more important than anything else.

He's already won the Emmy Award for Best Actor, so whether he wins the Baeksang Arts Award or not is irrelevant.

At the PD's signal, Kwon Heonhyuk nodded slightly and turned sharply to walk towards the entrance of the red carpet.

The official Baeksang Arts Awards red carpet was actually quite simple. Walking along the backdrop to the center, there wasn't much of a red carpet, and there weren't any spectators on either side. It was more of a formality.

He raised his hand, his fingertips casually brushing over his meticulously combed short hair that fully exposed his full forehead; each strand of hair held in place by hair gel exuded a cold, hard texture.

The Louis Vuitton black haute couture suit he wore was cut like a knife, with sharp shoulder lines that hugged his broad shoulders and narrow waist. The draped fabric flowed with subtle dark patterns under the strong light.

At the neckline, a Chaumet platinum and diamond-encrusted thorn-shaped lapel pin draws a sharp silver line in the cold white beam of light, landing precisely below the sharp jawline.

On the left cuff, the exquisite platinum dial of a Longines watch occasionally flashed between the dark suit cuffs with each step, exuding a restrained yet precise elegance.

As for his perfect appearance on camera, Kwon Heonhyuk is still very clear about his self-awareness that he still needs to rely on his looks to make a living.

The comments section in the online live stream instantly became much denser:

"Ahhh! He's here! Actor Kwon!!"

"This outfit is absolutely stunning today! The black suit with the lapel pin is both elegant and sharp—help!"

"Collarbone, it's a collarbone! The neckline fits perfectly!"

"This face is so striking, even the harsh lighting and angle can't hide it! It has an amazing sculpted look!"

"Go for the Best Actor award! Actor Kwon, fighting!!"

"A nomination is an affirmation, but I really want to see him win!"

"Don't jinx it in the comments! I'm so nervous!"

"The lapel pin is so unique, it shows great taste."

"Director, cut to a close-up! A close-up of her face! A close-up of her face!!!"

Quan Xuanhe's gaze was fixed straight ahead, his face bearing a polite smile that was neither overly intimate nor distant.

He knew exactly what the media needed: a clear facial profile, an upright posture, and close-up shots that could be captured in time.

He stopped in front of the main backdrop, straightened his back, and turned slightly to the side, giving the camera ample opportunity to capture the shot from both the front and the sides.

There was no deliberate lingering or unnecessary waving; the posture was natural and neat, maximizing the coordination with the shooting requirements.

As the host spoke, Kwon Heonhyuk nodded slightly towards the media area once again.

He didn't linger and, guided by the organizers, left the backdrop area without any hesitation.

Guided by staff, Kwon Heonhyuk entered the relatively quiet and solemn main venue of the awards ceremony—the Kintex Hall.

Upon entering, the noisy media shouts and fan screams were immediately replaced by a more subdued and ceremonial atmosphere.

The lighting inside the venue was primarily functional, focused on the stage and seating area, and the air was filled with whispers, the subtle sounds of perfume and dresses rubbing together.

A huge main stage occupies the front, with huge broadcast screens on both sides.

This year, there will still be no audience, and masks must be worn at all times, with seats spaced one meter apart.

Some award ceremonies have now reopened, while others are still maintaining strict management measures. The Baeksang Arts Awards is still maintaining strict epidemic prevention management, just like last year.

Quan Xuanhe's gaze quickly swept over the neatly arranged nameplates on the seats.

Although he had a premonition in mind, he still needed to find his specific location in the "middle area of ​​the second row" based on the signs.

This area is usually a gathering place for important nominees and top actors in the television drama category.

Time really changes things. Last year, Kwon Heonhyuk was sitting in the last few rows and had to cross the entire audience to receive the Best Newcomer Award.

Now it's completely healed.

Quan Xuanhe deftly pulled out a chair and silently sat down. Several other celebrities, dressed in similar attire, were already seated in the surrounding seats.

He smiled and nodded in acknowledgment, greeting those he knew fairly well and exchanging a few words with them.

After sitting down, Quan Xuanhe looked around, taking in the layout of the entire venue and the artists who were gradually taking their seats.

He could clearly feel the gazes cast upon him from time to time, as well as the patrols of moving camera lenses within the venue.

Following Kwon Hyun-hyuk, other celebrities continued to walk the red carpet and enter the venue.

The stadium gradually filled up, and empty seats became fewer and fewer.

The background noise consisted of hushed conversations, small talk, and the sounds of clothes being tidied.

His keen eye caught sight of the other nominees for Best Actor, including Lee Jun-ho, Im Si-wan, and Kim Nam-gil.

Lee Junho needs no further introduction; he was destined to win the Best Actor award.

Im Si-wan is a classic runner-up, always a runner-up, including Best Supporting Actor and Best Actor, he has been nominated five or six times, but has never won an award.

The most prestigious award he received before winning Best Actor in 2004 was Best New Actor.

As for Kim Nam-gil, who was nominated for Best Actor, he has very low popularity in the Korean Wave, and most people are unfamiliar with his name.

Most actors who have already made a name for themselves are well-known to the general public, but this one is a true talent who doesn't follow the Korean wave and is a traditional top-tier TV drama actor.

He has won the Best Actor award from the three major traditional television networks, but has not yet won an award at the three major award ceremonies.

On the surface, Kwon Hyun-hyuk maintained his usual calm, but his heart was not without turmoil.

Although he felt that he should win the Best Actor award as soon as possible, he was still young and would win it sooner or later. Meanwhile, BH Company went all out in public relations to "keep" him, which made him feel a subtle emotion mixed with expectation, competitive instinct and company pressure.

Kwon Heon-hyuk's attitude towards winning this award is ultimately still pessimistic.

He's too young. With him flapping his wings like a butterfly this year, he might just blow the Best Actor award away to someone else.

In order to avoid having too high expectations, Kwon Heonhyuk also came with the mindset of gaining experience and just being a runner-up.

if I get it I am lucky, but if not, it is fate.

As the red carpet event came to a complete close, the last few guests entered and took their seats, and the background music in the venue gradually faded out or was replaced by amplified opening sound effects.

All non-stage lights were dimmed further, with the brightest beams firmly locked onto the center of the main stage.

As the lights dimmed, a montage of this year's nominated films and television shows began playing on the big screen.

Kwon Heonhyuk's scene in DP was also cut out, along with one of his lines.

Amidst the anticipation of the crowd, the elegantly dressed hosts Shin Dong-yeop, Park Bo-gum, and Bae Suzy walked onto the stage amidst enthusiastic applause, officially commencing the 58th Baeksang Arts Awards!
The host or the opening voice-over announcing the official start of the ceremony, with its loud voice penetrating the entire venue, instantly suppressed other sounds in the room.

At this moment, everyone's attention was highly focused.

The venue fell into a solemn yet expectant silence, with only the voices of the host or the opening ceremony echoing in the background.

Like all the nominees, guests, and viewers in front of the live broadcast camera, Kwon Heonhyuk knew that the official competition had begun.

As is customary, awards are usually presented starting with less important ones, such as the Newcomer Award or technical awards. Last year, when Kwon Heonhyuk received the Newcomer Award, it was presented at the very beginning.

The award for Best Actor in a Television category, also known as TV King, will be announced at the very end, as it is one of the most prestigious awards.

During this time, moving cameras will capture the nominees' reactions.

Applause is always heard whenever the nominations for an award are announced or the winner is revealed.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk maintained a composed and focused expression throughout the camera panning across him.

In the rest area outside the venue, Park Jung-jung and Son Seok-woo paid close attention to the situation inside, especially when the camera panned across Kwon Heon-hyuk.

They were on edge about tonight's public relations efforts and whether Kwon Seon-hyuk could win the Best Actor award.

Just imagine what it would be like if Kwon Heon-hyuk won Best Actor.
The youngest TV King, setting a new record that has never been set before!
The awards ceremony proceeded smoothly, and one by one, the results—whether exciting, regrettable, or joyful—were finalized.

Technical awards, newcomer awards, supporting actor awards...

Koo Kyo-hwan and Jo Hyun-cheol, who were from the same drama as Kwon Seon-hyuk, won Best New Actor and Best Supporting Actor respectively, successfully taking home two prestigious awards.

This made Park Jung-jung and Son Seok-woo, who were watching the awards ceremony, feel uneasy.

Having won two prestigious awards in a row, the chances of winning Best Actor are even smaller; after all, there has to be a balance.

The Baeksang Arts Awards arranged for the cast and crew to sit together, and when the two received their awards, Kwon Heonhyuk stood up to hug and applaud in encouragement.

Halfway through the event, the host began announcing the popularity award.

This award is considered a permanent award, and it is sponsored by various brands. This year, TikTok is the title sponsor.

"Next, we will announce the TikTok Popularity Award."

The host, Park Bo-gum, held up a golden envelope.

"This honor was chosen by fans around the world through fierce voting, representing absolute popularity and love!"

The large screen instantly switched to display a bar chart showing the real-time vote counts for the four popularity award nominees.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk's name topped the list, with his votes far exceeding those of the other three competitors by an overwhelming margin.

His popularity needs no further explanation; it's skyrocketed, shining brighter than a comet.

The winner of the 58th Baeksang Arts Awards TikTok Popularity Award is—

Bae Suzy's clear voice rang out.

"Kwon Hyun-hyuk! Congratulations!"

The spotlight shone directly on Quan Xuanhe.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk was not surprised. He smiled politely and stood up amidst the applause and congratulations from the surrounding celebrities.

He moved nimbly, bowed slightly to those around him, and then walked steadily toward the stage.

Upon reaching the side of the stage, he briefly removed his mask in accordance with epidemic prevention regulations and under the guidance of staff.

When he received the crystal trophy symbolizing popularity from Bae Suzy, he accepted it respectfully with both hands and bowed deeply in gratitude.

Kim Tae-ri was also among the award recipients.

The two stood in front of the microphone, and Kwon Heonhyuk looked at Kim Tae-ri, indicating that she should give her acceptance speech first.

Kim Tae-ri turned to look at him, a joyful smile spreading across her face as she received the award. With a mix of excitement and relaxation, she began her acceptance speech.

Kim Tae-ri is now undoubtedly the top actress of the post-90s generation.

After starring in Park Chan-wook's "The Handmaiden," she became an overnight sensation, her career skyrocketing and progressing smoothly and effortlessly.

The works she starred in were all incredibly demanding; she couldn't be described as a "resourced actress" anymore, she was practically a "heaven-sent" star.

She starred alongside Lee Byung-hun in the critically acclaimed drama "Mr. Sunshine," and alongside Nam Joo-hyuk in the highly popular Melo drama "Twenty-Five, Twenty-One." Later, she won the Best Actress award for "The Year of the Gods," which boosted tvN's viewership ratings to 16%.

In terms of films, it's "Space Sweepers", "1987", and "Aliens".

These films mostly flopped, but before their release, they were all top-tier projects in the industry, the envy of countless people.

Among the actresses born in the 1990s, the top ones are Kim Go-eun, Kim Tae-ri, and Park Eun-bin.

Of the three, Kim Go-eun has the highest popularity overseas, mainly due to her role in "Goblin". Park Eun-bin has the lowest overseas popularity, as most people have never heard of her.

Someone asked, "Didn't you say there were also Yoona, Suzy, IU, and so on?"

Bae Suzy is considered to be at the top of the second tier.

IU is a multi-talented artist, so it's difficult to make strict comparisons. If we're only talking about actresses, she'd be considered a second-tier artist.

She was popular, but lacked substantial achievements and awards. It was only when she won the Best Actress award that she finally gained some prestige, but she was still in the second tier.

After listening to Kim Tae-ri finish her acceptance speech, Kwon Heon-hyuk adjusted his breathing and looked down at the audience.

“Annyeonghaseyo, I am actor Kwon Seonhyuk.”

"This award is very important; it is entirely thanks to all my fans who love and support me."

He raised the crystal trophy in a gesture of respect, his tone sincere.

"It is thanks to every vote, every cheer, and every encouragement from you that I can stand here today. I sincerely thank you all."

"Finally, thank you to the Baeksang Arts Awards for this honor, thank you to all the colleagues in the DP crew, and thank you to BH Entertainment for your continued support."

I will cherish this precious love and continue to strive to become a better actor. Thank you everyone.

After expressing his gratitude, he bowed again to the audience, the guests, and the camera.

He turned around cleanly and handed the trophy to the waiting staff member, then put his mask back on.

As he stepped off the stage, his steps remained steady, but it was noticeable that they were slightly lighter than when he went on stage.

As he passed the front row, seniors like Lee Jung-jae nodded and smiled at him to congratulate him, and he nodded in return.

Kwon Heonhyuk returned to his seat, and the lights in the arena focused on the main stage once again.

Finally, after several more awards were presented, the awards ceremony reached its grand finale – the Best Actor in a Television category.

The slight commotion that had arisen from the announcement of other awards quickly subsided.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk could clearly feel the intense gazes that instantly focused on him from behind, as well as the faint light that the moving cameras in the arena precisely captured when they captured his profile.

The stage lights converged once more, and host Bae Suzy picked up the cue card in her hand. Her voice was steady and clear, but every syllable carried immense weight.

"Now we will be presenting the Best Actor Award in the Television category."

She paused, letting the title echo in the silence for a moment.

"First, I'd like to introduce the outstanding actors who were nominated for their brilliant performances, and the unforgettable works they brought to the stage."

The large screen lit up in response and began playing clips of each nominee's work and their names in turn.

“Squid Game, Lee Jung-jae.”

As classic scenes from the drama flashed on the screen, Lee Jung-jae smiled and nodded to the camera from below the stage, his expression as calm and composed as ever.

The camera pauses briefly, then switches to another scene.

"DP: The Deserter's Pursuit Order, Kwon Hyun-hyuk!"

A close-up of Kwon Hyun-hyuk's character Ahn Joon-ho in "DP" instantly filled the big screen with his suppressed, angry, and struggling gaze.

Kwon Heonhyuk maintained a polite smile, and when the director switched the camera to him, he smiled and nodded at the camera.

Followed by.

"The 'Red-Embellished Sleeves,' contestant Lee Jun-ho!"

Lee Junho's period costume look and heartfelt performance triggered another explosion of comments in the live stream.

Lee Junho leaned forward slightly in his seat, intently watching the screen, his face displaying a mixture of anticipation and restraint.

He probably wanted to win the award more than anyone else, but he was also more restrained in his expectations than anyone else.

Like Kwon Heon-hyuk, this was also his first time being nominated for Best Actor.

"The Tracker" - Im Si-wan!

Im Si-wan's image in the drama flashes by.

As a "famous runner-up," his smile carried a hint of habitual expectation and hidden complexity.

"The People Who Decipher Evil Hearts, by Kim Nam-gil!"

The video ended, and images of all the nominees appeared side-by-side on the big screen.

Bae Suzy's gaze swept over the five people in the audience with their various expressions, her face bearing the characteristic smile of a host in control of the situation.

"Excellent work, admirable performances. Who will win the title of Best Male Acting in the Television category tonight? The results will be revealed soon."

The award presenter, Shin Ha-kyun, who was also last year's Best Actor winner, took the stage and, after a concise and appropriate speech, slowly raised the envelope in his hand.

The stage lights seemed to focus all on that thin envelope.

"The outcome is in my hands."

He spoke as he unsealed the envelope, his movements so slow it was almost frustrating.

Shen Dongye took over the conversation, his voice carrying a dramatic suspense.

"Yes, each and every one of them is such an outstanding actor, and any one of them deserves to win an award."

"But there can only be one award, so let's invite the presenter..."

Shin Ha-kyun raised his head, his gaze seemingly lingering on each nominee's face for half a second, this brief sweep like a stretched slow-motion video.

The spotlight followed his gaze, sweeping over the nominees.

Finally, his gaze settled in a certain direction, his lips parted slightly, but then he paused as if deliberately teasing the audience.

"The winner of the Best Actor Award in the Television category at the 58th Baeksang Arts Awards is..."

The whole place was silent.

To be honest, even though he didn't have high expectations, Quan Xuanhe listened attentively to the result, even though he deliberately created suspense to this extent.

To be honest, this situation is somewhat similar to the feeling of waiting for judgment when he was competing for a debut spot in a talent show in 2019.

The live broadcast cameras didn't hold back, giving close-ups to the five nominees and capturing every subtle change in their faces.

Lee Jung-jae continued to smile as he looked ahead.

Lee Junho clasped his hands together nervously.

Im Si-wan's eyes were focused.

Kim Nam-gil gazed calmly at the awards podium.

When it came to Kwon Heon-hyuk, his expression seemed more relaxed than the others, and there was even a hint of a smile in his eyes above his mask.

He really lowered his expectations.

The venue grew increasingly quiet as everyone awaited the announcement of the Best Actor award.

"The recipient is"

The camera panned across several people.

next second.

A clear, firm name, imbued with supreme glory, accompanied by deliberately elongated syllables, resonated in everyone's hearts like a hammer.

"Quan Xuanhe!"
