It’s that time of the year again – last night, successful dramas and respected actors and actresses of 2009-2010 competed for top prizes at the 5th Annual Seoul International Drama Awards.
Before we move into award winners, it is almost impossible to ignore the luxurious red carpet photos, where celebrities have their fun showcasing their carefully-chosen dresses and suits in front of the flashing cameras.
There were a vast amount of celebrity attendees, including 2AM, Baek Ji Young, Han Hyo Joo, Lee Seung Gi, Ji Hyun Woo, Nam Gyuri, and Oh Ji Eun. However, no one could keep their eyes off of Star Golden Bell’s MC Lee Chae Young, who wore a white, above knee-length halter neck dress which put very strong emphasis on her gorgeous figure. Meanwhile, 2AM arrived neatly synchronized in black and white, and Lee Seung Gi looked sharp with his all-black suit, complemented with a black bow tie.
This year’s Seoul Drama Awards expanded their focus on international works by allowing nominations to be eligible for foreign dramas and actors. Additionally, the official site introduced English and Japanese-friendly versions.
The big awards were swept up by dramas ‘Chuno‘, ‘IRIS‘ and ‘Seondeok Queen‘. Lee Byung Hun of ‘IRIS’ (absent) and Jang Hyuk of ‘Chuno’ won the Hallyu Star Male Actor awards, while Go Hyun Jung of ‘Seondeok Queen’ and Han Hyo Joo of ‘Brilliant Legacy’ received the Hallyu Female Actor Awards.
The Hallyu Drama Daesang went to ‘Chuno’ and Hallyu Drama Producer award went to its director, Kwak Jung Hwan.
With regards to the popularity awards, Lee Seung Gi and Chou Vic of Taiwan received the most popular male actor awards, while most popular female actresses went to Lin Ruby of China and Sheh Charmaine of Hong Kong.
