The emotional moment took everyone by surprise.

Shin Dong Yes, Kim Hye YoonAND Kim Ji Yeon hosted the prestigious event, which was held on December 21st at SBS Prism Tower in Seoul.
Seo Hyun Woo was nominated for his performance in The fiery priest 2along with other talented actors, including Kim Won Hey, Lee Jung ShinAND Jo Jae Yoon. In the end, Seo took home the award, marking a significant milestone in his 15-year acting career.
During his acceptance speech, Seo Hyun Woo reflected on his journey and expressed gratitude to those who supported him.
I really enjoyed watching The fiery priest 1so I was happy when I got the offer [to join the second season]but I also felt a lot of pressure. I think that pressure was relieved by the other cast members: Kim Nam Gil hyung, Honey [referring to Lee Ha Nee]and the Fiery Priest family. It’s the first time I’ve attended an end-of-year awards ceremony in 15 years since my debut. I want to sincerely thank my father, who has supported me all this time and even more over the last 15 years.
—Seo Hyun Woo
As he spoke, the actor’s eyes were filled with tears. Seo got emotional talking about his father, who has been a constant source of encouragement over the years.
I think you’re probably watching this show and I’m crying. Please don’t get sick and always stay healthy. To my nephews, your uncle won an award! Honestly, I’m a little scared of receiving this award. It’s not easy to welcome viewers with a new character every time. Every time I face these moments, I think I count on and draw strength from my colleagues. I want to share this honor with the people I love.
