Jeong Deok HyeonA critic of pop culture and one of the seven judges for the Baeksang Arts Awards of 2024 in the television category, revealed the reason behind Kim Ji won Do not be appointed to the 60th Baeksang Arts Awards.
Jeong Deok Hyeon he said, “Recently, this problem has emerged again. In the case of”Queen of tears“, People said:” huh? Kim Ji won Wasn’t he even named? Do you know why it happened? “
Jeong Deok Hyeon explained, “When the initial evaluation round started, it was early enough. At that time, ‘Queen of tears‘He hadn’t even started to air. So there were many discussions that the drama should be considered. In the end he arrived at the second evaluation round, but the score was not high. In reality there is a standard that if a certain percentage of a drama has been transmitted, qualifies for the appointment. However, since the judges had not seen the full content of the series (like “Queen of tears‘He hadn’t finished going on air), he made it difficult to evaluate correctly. We have seen the available episodes and some videos and, at that point, the male lead’s performance has distinguished itself more. Kim Ji won He hadn’t really really shone. His acting was still considered limited at that moment. That’s why it wasn’t named.“
Jeong Deok Hyeon Continues, “We explained all this to Kim Ji won Agency, and he herself listened to him and accepted him. But the audience did not know, so they criticized us: “How could Baeksang do it?”“
Jeong Deok Hyeon Added, “But to be honest, with prizes like these, the times and a little luck are involved. For example, if Baeksang were kept in May or June, and the drama had already finished aired since then, the chances of being named would be higher. The most recent dramas tend to be remembered more easily.”
Meanwhile, Kim Ji Won has been excluded from the list of nominated for the 60th Baeksang Arts Awards, while Kim Soo Hyun has been appointed.
