Kim Soo Hyun to Attend SBS Drama Awards But Loses Samsonite CF to Lee Min Ho

The SBS year end drama awards was shaping up to be the most star-studded of the big three since it led the way in splashy prime time dramas. A few weeks ago there was media attention on the biggest stars of the 2014 SBS dramas maybe not attending which would be a blow to the ratings for the show as well as determinative of who may be winning the Daesang at the end of the night. The event is less than a week away and the outcome appears a lock for Kim Soo Hyun to take home the Daesang for You From Another Star now that he’s confirmed to attend, while Lee Bo Young is also attending despite being pregnant as she’ll need to award the Daesang as the winner of last year’s award.

I think Jo In Sung deserves the SBS Daesang for his incredible and incredibly raw performance in It’s Okay, It’s Love, but I understand the network’s decision to give it to Kim Soo Hyun at the end of the day. YFAS is the only breakout K-drama all year from any network, plus even if I didn’t like Kim Soo Hyun’s performance in YFAS plenty of viewers did. Winning the Daesang, and overall raking in so much dough all year he can build his own Scrooge McDuck vault to swim in the coins, may mollify Kim Soo Hyun losing his high profile Samsonite Red CF to Lee Min Ho for the coming year. I’m still seeing the Kim Soo Hyun-Angelababy Samsonite ads in Asia but next year is Min Ho-sshi’s turn to sell them bags.

Which one do you prefer? Or shall I say, which guy makes you want to buy a Samsonite Red bag? The brand has changed CF models every year, I remember before Kim Soo Hyun it was Song Joong Ki who repped the line.

  • We are sorry, but as much as we like KSH, but Jo In Sung deserves to win... Next year should be Lee Jong Suk and Park Shin Hye...

    • Sorry but Park Shin Hye and Deasang? She is good but not that good.
      Choi Jin Hyuk and Ji Chang Wook are also really good actors and too bad they dont win the deserved recognition. I really want Choi Jin Hyuk to get some awards and Ji Chang Wook needs a couple award with Park Min Young. Boy they have crazy chemistry in Healer!

      • Isn't healer in KBS? And this article and the commenter is talking abt SBS year end awards. TBH, Healer's otp is good but lee jong suk and park shin hye's chemistry is off the charts to be honest.

  • "Which guy makes you want to buy a Samsonite Red bag?" Neither. Now if YEH were to recreate her stalker persona from the CASS ads as a tourist visiting, let's say NZ (to pick somewhere completely at random), who uses a luggage mixup as an excuse to fixate on one of the locals, THEN I might be interested.

  • Lee Minho for me.
    If KSH and JIS both are attending, what will they give Lee Jongsuk? I hope KSH and JIS share the Daesang and best actor to LJS for Doctor Stranger/Pinocchio.

  • I think KSH will run riot at the SBS awards this year just seeing how they they decorated the place with the Do min joon pics from you who came from the stars... I have no doubt he will prolly win minimum 4-5 awards that night..

    If I were Jo In Sung and they were not going to give me the daesang I wouldn't attend the show in the first place.. I remember Jo In sung attended last year to only watch LMH run riot and clean the house out of awards.. But he regained his Momentum back at the APAN star awards huge win for him that night but KSH and LMH were nowhere to be found that night.. they were basically out of the country not even in town..

    • me too. He has treated quite bad last year by SBS, so if daesang will go to KSH, I wish JIS better not attending it!

    • Jo In Sung's performance was superb for a very challenging role in IOIL, KSH's was average for a fairly non-challenging role in YFAS. KSH can be good, but that drama did nothing to showcase his talent.

      This is why I can't take Korean award shows seriously. I totally understand the Korean actors/actresses that choose to skip these ceremonies entirely, like JJH (if she were getting the Daesung, I'd understand that at least – vastly different role than Jo In Sung's, but that one at least showed skilled acting).

      • Amen. It kills me to watch KSH get all the awards any time he bothers to show up for a ceremony. I understand the importance of highly-rated shows to a network, but they could also use awards to acknowledge hard work. (They could call it a Confucian thing.) You could tell JIS worked hard for IOIL--he totally "leveled up." If he lost to JJH, I could handle it because she did outstanding comedy, but really--KSH in that particular part?

        I'm feeling petty on Jo In Sung's behalf--enough that I get a little pleasure from knowing KSH lost a CF.

        Even though I know that's really, really, really ridiculously petty. I do have a new year's resolution to be a better person!

      • Honestly, if I were an actor and received a top award for a mediocre part I did knowing that someone else had a more much challenging role that he performed superbly in and I'm just getting it because the drama made more money/had higher ratings & because I'm showing up the ceremony... I'd feel like someone's making fun of my acting.

        But I guess they don't see that way, they just see it as a "Most Popular" award or something maybe? Who knows... that's why I have an extra ounce of respect for all the actors that don't bother with the farce of the award ceremonies.

  • Like Lee Min Ho's face needs to be plastered on MORE shop walls? His mug is already all over the place flogging random stuff like massage chairs (yeah, real classy). Oh well, I'm sure he's raking in the money, so we don't have to feel too sorry for him selling his artistic soul. ;-)

    • Hehe..He is still raking less than Kim Soo Hyun. KSH took all the commercials while LMH was filming Gangnam1970 movie. Go Go Minho, more commercials :)

  • i think they both equal when it comes to money but leeminho is a bit quite about this thing like reveals income, assest, etc. i know he must be super rich not just money from his CF but his global tour, CF event, china tv program, etc

  • oho i prefer Song Joong Ki's though. ahhh the mandatory military service.. but these guys arent too bad. its just that, their faces are everywhere on almost everything.

  • Jeon Ji Hyun deserves the daesang if we were to take acting, rating and popularity into consideration, but i guess she won't be attending the award ceremony. If I were to pick a daesang winner between JIS and KSH, i'll go for JIS since he is a better actor.
