On December 27 (KST), the 9th Asia Artist Awards (hereinafter referred to as “2024 AAA”) was held. The event was hosted by actor Ryu Jun-yeol, IVE’s Jang Won-young and ZEROBASEONE’s Sung Han-bin.
During this night, actress Jang Da-ah won the Rookie Award for her performance in the TVING original series “Pyramid Game”. Her younger sister, Jang Won-young, who was an MC at the event, presented the award, attracting attention.
However, the moment quickly passed when the trophy was handed over, with Jang Won-young immediately turning away, leaving viewers amused.
Holding the trophy, Jang Da-ah shared his thoughts, saying: “I am happy to present myself in front of elders and respected spectators. I want to thank my father and mother, who I love and respect more than anyone in the world, for raising me. I am also grateful to everyone who loved ‘Pyramid Game’.”
The actress then expressed gratitude to the director, writer, production team and staff members of the series.
“I know that this award is still too much for me, so I will strive to grow inside and become a mature person. I hope everyone has a healthy end to the year“he added.
After her speech, when MC Ryu Jun-yeol asked Jang Won-young to present the award to her older sister, the latter replied, “I am so happy to personally give such a meaningful award to my sister. I think our parents are watching with pride and joy.
Meanwhile, during an interview after the conclusion of “Pyramid Game”, Jang Da-ah had previously shown a detached attitude when asked about her younger sister, Jang Won-young.
At that time, Jang Da-ah commented: “When I said I wanted to act, my sister probably thought it was just another job I was doing and didn’t pay much attention. I don’t give much feedback either, so we both work hard independently while silently rooting for each other.
He added, “Even though we work in the same field, we don’t rely on each other and instead handle our own responsibilities.”
Due to their cold attitudes towards each other, some have speculated about their relationship. However, Jang Da-ah pointed out with a laugh, “It’s not like that at all.”
