Gong Hyo Jin and Cha Seung Won Attend MNET 20 Awards Show to Receive Drama Awards for Best Love

I really do not follow awards shows, except to check out the fashion, because frankly it’s all pointless and mostly backdoor manuveuring at the end of the day. But I like them for pure entertainment purposes (pretty people, shiny things, me likey). MNET 20 is the only Summer awards show in Korea, intended to be nothing but a popularity contest plus pat on the back. The hottest ratings couple of the early half of the drama year has been without a doubt Cha Seung Won‘s Dokko Jin and Gong Hyo Jin‘s Gu Ae Jung, of Best Love fame.

Both naturally got awarded the hot actor and actress award from MNET, with the results determined by 30% fan votes and 70% MNET deciding. Which if you know your percentages and statistics, means that MNET decides the winner. Period. So please don’t comment about who was robbed of any award. That annoys me. Gong Hyo Jin and Cha Seung Won are two of my favorite actors and I’m happy to see them looking mighty fine and accepting an award on a rainy night in Seoul.

Kim Gab Soo ahjusshi presented Hyo Jin with her award? Complete and total love. Awwwww, they need to work together. With both of their impressive and hella long resumes, I’m surprised they’ve never been in a drama or movie together yet. Hyo Jin looks absolutely perfect for this award show – edgy, hip, and cool, with her rockerish top, sleek fitted jeans, and Timberland-esque booties. She also won some style icon award, which she is, even if her style is edgier than most Korean ladies are wont to wear. She belongs in Paris, with her tendency to go either way avant garde or strangely retro. Conversely, I’m not sure why Cha Seung Won is dressed like an ahjusshi when he normally is so casual hip. A plaid suit, Seung Won? No no no, I do not approve. Still, love his happy doofy grin.

The hosts of the show were Suzy of Miss A and Song Joong Ki. Love their youthfulness, though a part of me would have loved to see Suzy host with Kim Soo Hyun. Nevertheless, this MNET awards thingie reminds me of the MTV Movie Awards. Win or lose, it’s just another entertainment spectacle at the end of the day.

  • I was going to say how I don't like Gong Hyo Jin's outfit at all. XD

    Song Joong-ki in that sleek suit looked mighty fine. Oh boy, my noona crush is getting worse. ^^'

    Btw, I'll never get used to Cha Seung-won without a hint of his typical goatee, the way he sported it in City Hall?

    • I lub her outfit! It's more sane than half the odd but memorable stuff Hyo Jin wears. Or maybe cuz I secretly wore something similar and don't want to project your dislike of it on myself..... ;-)

      • Haha, true. Her fashion sense is...well, unique. :)

        Which reminds me I kind of miss JGS's weird outfits. ^^

      • Wow actually I have a similar shirt....but mine was a lot revealing the holes are bigger no pins I bought in Bugis SG....fun! Never though pins will be the in thing.... huh the guy is consistent with his character huh ahjussi???? ;-)

      • well actually as soon as i saw her full pic, i was in love with her outfit! good sense of style in my opinion :)

    • lol I just saw that same shirt featured in a DIY project in Cosmo this month. Apparently the design was on the runway, but for a cheaper alternative you could cut up a black shirt and put in safety pins yourself.

    • I loved it too...she looks awesome...everytime i see all i can see are her never ending legs, they are just soooo long, lucky! :P

  • Thanks Mam....congratulations to all the winners......I must agree with sere..don't like GHJ's outfit n she looks too skinny!! CSW looks younger...love it...xixixixi...

    • I do like her outfit ^^ I think she's naturally very slender, but her legs do kind of seem very skinny. But she looks radiant and healthy, so everything's all right!!! ^^

      I have no idea why, but I like Suzy a lot!!! XD She just has something really lovable to me, and I'm happy she hosted this. I can't get over how she's so young, though! O_O

  • Sorry, but i just want to get this out of my system.

    Why does Mnet do a Public Poll if they already decided the winner, what's the point exactly?
    This just irks people and create misunderstanding among fans of different artists. It just plain STUPID I say.

    • 1. MNET runs the award. They can do whatever they want. They can decide the person who shows up first gets the award. It's called arbitrary and capricious. I deal by not taking this seriously.

      2. MNET said public votes count for 30% of the total. That is miniscule. Someone would need to almost quintuple the second place winner's fan votes to even have that overtake MNET's decision.

      If guy 1 gets 500,000 votes, and guy 2 gets 300,000, guy 2 can still easily win because MNET's choice counts for 70% of the total. Statistically it's just that simple. Not sure where the disconnect is. The public poll is pointless for sure, but hey, so is this little shindig.

      This is clearly the Dancing With the Stars voting system. Which is about as fair as letting one horse start 5 lengths ahead of the others for the running of the Kentucky Derby.

      • i don't know about other categories but i do know that CSW was winning by far in the public votes (btw i vote for him) so if the public vote for him and mnet too... well i guess he deserved to win.

  • Why is the stig at the awards show.....?

    Aside from that, I LOVELOVELOVE Gong Hyo Jin's outfit. I wish I could pull off more edgy stuff like that *sigh*.

      • I was thinking the same thing! Whats with The Stig? And why isn't anybody saying anything about The Stig...Sorry...just have to say The Stig few more times...
        And CSW...got to watch some more CSW soon :)

  • Are those real safety pins on GJ's shirt? Interesting... although I'd be afraid that they might stab me :)

    Definitely reminds me of the MTV movie awards... or People's choice awards or kids choice awards or whatever those are just not completely choice. It's good fun and fashion -- who can deny that GJ and CSW had the most recent hottest ratings drama hit :)

  • who is the one in peach dress ?? i love her dress !! Nd the guy beside her is he frm paradise ranch ???

    • the lady wearing the peach dress is Suzy from Dream high. i love Suzy's dress as well. the guy beside her isn't the one from Paradise Ranch, it's Song Joong Ki from Sungkyunkwan Scandal.

  • I want her entire outfit ! So snazzy cool! Especially d timberland with heels!
    Hmm , where to get..?
    Oh! CHA Seung Won ,I like , NO! I LURVE whether sunny side up ( tanned skinned) or poached ( fair ). Goatee on Seung Won is a must-have cos , for me, he looks smokin' hawt!* heart palpitating fast!* OK OK , its 1.30am in d morning & I can't get too CHA-ed up! * gotta think sweet, unsexy things..muffins...kids...my fish tt likes to swim upside down...* Snore zzzzzzz

    • Since the ceremony was held at a swimming pool at the Walkerhill, I think GHJ is dressed perfectly appropriately, considering co-host SJK was dressed like he was attending a rock hoedown. It was genuinely a very casual event. Just like the MTV Movie Awards or the People's Choice Awards.

      • ockoala, i love that you keep defending her outfit. i love it too! she looks great. =)

        thanks for posting this. i've been having ding-dong withdrawal. choong-jun!

      • I wonder if those guitar works...yep so People's Choice they have surf boards and MTV has pop corn....

    • I think she looks great. This ceremony looks less formal and more like a fun summer awards show. It has the feel of the MTV Movie Awards or maybe the Teen Choice Awards (where the trophy is a surfboard!!). BTW love Cha Seung Won's outfit...he's looking very young these days.

  • gotta agree with you, the dress up is similar to the MTV Movie Awards or the People’s Choice Awards. It's MNET 20 show and they added the polls as an afterthought to hype people to watch. Interesting results.

  • i'm so happy for GHJ and CSW... congrats to you both!!!!
    an CSW looks so young and happy... love him!!!
    thanks for sharing
