The 2024 Asia Artist Awards (AAA) took place in Bangkok, Thailand on December 27. This year’s ceremony brought together a star-studded lineup, including actors such as Kim Soo Hyun, Byeon Woo Seok, Ryu Jun Yeol and Park Min Young, as well as top idol groups such as Jang Wonyoung, NewJeans, NCT and Suho (EXO). After the event, the interaction between Jang Wonyoung and Kim Soo Hyun took Asia by storm.
For the fourth consecutive year as AAA’s main MC, Jang Wonyoung made fans proud by being honored with the unique “Queen of AAA” trophy. Despite sharing the stage with some of the biggest stars, she remained the highlight of the event, impressing with her radiant images, professional demeanor, and fluency in both Korean and English. As IVE’s most popular member, Jang Wonyoung continues to solidify her reputation as a versatile K-pop princess, excelling in every role she plays with meticulous attention to detail.
However, even Jang Wonyoung couldn’t maintain composure at all times. There were times when she couldn’t help but blush and laugh uncontrollably, thanks to none other than Kim Soo Hyun. The interaction between the K-pop princess and Korea’s highest-paid actor is currently trending among fans.
After the success of “Queen of Tears,” Kim Soo Hyun’s popularity rose to new heights. According to Korea Times, he tops the list of the highest-paid actors in South Korea. Despite his immense talent and influence, Kim Soo Hyun never fails to entertain fans whenever he attends an award show.
Contrary to his image as a heartthrob, Kim Soo Hyun is not shy about being comical, even in front of celebrity guests and renowned AAA artists. During his exchange with Jang Wonyoung, he was jokingly challenged to sing a snippet a cappella. Confident in his singing abilities, the actor delivered a playful performance, hitting high notes and embellishing them with impressive vocal techniques. Known for his singing voice, Kim Soo Hyun has once again captivated audiences with his musical talent.
After his impromptu performance, Jang Wonyoung asked Kim Soo Hyun to introduce the next artist, Suho (EXO). Just as he was about to return to his seat, Jang Wonyoung’s request left him momentarily flustered. Immediately switching to “professional mode,” Kim Soo Hyun bounced back with an awkward yet endearing reaction on stage. Her witty response made Jang Wonyoung unable to contain her emotions, repeatedly covering her face and giggling awkwardly.
Kim Soo Hyun’s somewhat “stupid” behavior during the ceremony delighted netizens. The moment has sparked countless discussions across platforms from South Korea to China, as fans appreciate the natural chemistry between these two Asian superstars.
