2016 Baeksang Arts Awards Shines with Big Korean Film and Television Stars

This Friday night was the 2016 Baeksang Arts Awards in Seoul, with the brightest Korean television and film stars of the year gathered for glitz, glamour and peer recognition. Acclaimed movie director Lee Joon Ik took home the Film side Daesang for directing The Throne and Dong Ju while the Daesang on the television side didn’t go to a person but instead to the drama Descendants of the Sun. The DotS leads Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo were of course the belle of the ball, looking every bit like they were headed either to their grand wedding or to a Governor’s Ball after party.

The Korean awards fashion parade remains ever disappointing, with plenty of good looking people but nothing sartorially to turn the head or elicit wows. The biggest netizen grip appears to be over Jo Jin Woong winning nothing in either the film or television categories, but I’m fairly certain his massive surge in critical acclaim over his various works in recent years is way more substantive than taking home a trophy. Congrats to all the winners and hopefully the industry keeps making good cinematic fare in the coming year.

  • Is there like a theme or a certain color they should wear? The red carpet fashion lacks color.

  • That first picture of SHK and SJK with the cathedral-like building in the background looks like a scene from a blockbuster movie. Absolutely gorgeous, props to the photographer - and of course, the two leads who absolutely stole the spotlight on the red carpet last night.

  • SHK and SJK looked like they were there for their wedding, especially with the cathedral-like building at the back. They're like the Korean Barbie and Ken: Wedding edition! I'm not too fond of SHK's dress on its own but she rocks it anyway. Some people even commented about how it looks too prom-like and juvenile for her but I think it was a good choice as it makes her look younger to match baby-faced SJK. However, if she had walked the red carpet alone, I would have preferred a less safe look for her with a pop of color for a change.

    • In some photos and angles, Han Hyo Joo's looking more and more similar to Song Hye Kyo. Even more so with her current hairstyle, which is similar to how SHK usually wears her hair. She looked very pretty last night, despite the bland color of her dress. I also thought Park Ha Sun looked really lovely in her simple blush pink dress even if it is pretty safe. Suzy rocked both of her dresses, too. Some don't like her black dress but she looked really nice IMO. Contrary to some comments, I don't find it cheap or revealing.

  • SHK and SJK looks good together. They are smitten with each other. They are the highlights of the night Power couple indeed.

  • Disappointed jo Jin woong didn't win anything. He's amazing! They should have a supportive category for dramas too.

    • I know, right? How can such latent and performance go unawarded? At least with Dots winning the grand price, it pretty much tells you what these awards are all about.

  • SHK and Sjk looks so purty
    Sad that SHK doesn't win acting award but Glad that the award went to Kim hye Soo ,I haven't watched signal but if SHK lost to kim hye Soo then I'm okay ,
    The fashion looks boring with style and colors imo

    • Congrats to all actresses and actors who did receive the awards and who did not because thanks all to you ,( your hard work and performances ) we have so many good dramas to enjoy
