Kim So Yeon, Song Hye Kyo, Lee Je Hoon, and Honey Lee are the Daesang Nominees for the 2021 SBS Year End Drama Awards

Well this is going to be a tight two lady race for the winner and it’s trending nearly evenly split among the K-netizens commentary. SBS released the four nominees for this year’s SBS Drama Award Daesang and it’s Kim So Yeon in Penthouse, Song Hye Kyo for Now, We are Breaking Up, Taxi Driver himself Lee Je Hoon, and Honey Lee as One: The Woman. It’s clearly a showdown between Kim So Yeon and Honey Lee and I actually don’t know who will win. Last year the winner was Namgoong Min in Stove League but Kim So Yeon was also up for Daesang then since Penthouse season 1 already aired and was a ratings hit, so it could go to her both for continuing a memorable performance and also losing out last year. But Honey Lee absolutely hard carried her entire drama and brought in higher than expected ratings. Song Hye Kyo’s nom ins clearly to respect her seniority and doing a SBS drama but her somnolent character and performance in Breaking Up is one of her least impressive. Lee Je Hoon could have had a shot if the Taxi Driver aired closer to now but it’s lost a lot of steam and buzz since it finished this summer.

  • Why is Song Hye Kyo on here, she's super bad in NWABU that it's unbelievable. Since when do they nominate people because of seniority?

    Taxi Driver aired this year and Lee Je Hoon gave a brilliant performance, it seems wrong to me that he's been neglected because it aired this summer and lost it's buzz.

      • When I say neglected, I meant koala almost believes 100% that he couldn't win but am not in support of that, even though Honey Lee was just too good in One: the woman that she's nailed on for this.

    • I agree with you 100%
      Song Hye Ko has no business being nominated and it's so not fair on Lee Je Hoon, he had an outstanding performance in Taxi Driver.

      • So sorry for you who think SHK should not be there. She's there Because she deserves to be there. Low rating on free TV, hey but top internationally!!! SHK has the talent and had portrayed the role being asked. So that's it. DAESANG for SHK

  • From the female ones I prefer Kim so Yeon. I don't say Honey Lee isn't good, but in my eyes Kim So Yeon is better, her character had more emotional scenes.

  • kim soyeon should win this. After all, she got best actress in baeksang. anyway it's really funny to see how mad, desperate and crazy kyj fans in twitter coz she wasn't nominated in daesang but shk did (note that they used foul languages too like bitc*, mfs etc). they even insisted that how song hyekyo snubbed her place lol ? sorry not sorry.. she wasn't even knetz and media favourite in the 1st place ? i bet that if shk wasn't nominated, her ifans wouldn't become this crazy. just because they think shk doesn't deserve the spot, doesn't mean that kyj automatically should be nominated instead! her performance in hcg wasn't daesang worthy ok. it's all about acting talent, not necessarily based on high rating only. park eunbin won top excellent last year despite do u like braham got low rating. sbs will nominate yj if her performance is daesang worthy. but her fans can't understand this that she isn't at that level yet. and sbs also agree with this. all they know is to get angry and shaded why song hyekyo was nominated instead.

    read this. apparently, only yj ifans behave like this. it is true that many knetz had questioned why shk is in the list, but seems that they don't even care if yj is nominated or not. no complaints on why she wasn't in the list ? her ifans needs to wake up and take a chill pill instead of shading shk.

    • Bhahaha song hye kyo will win best botox and filler or plastic surgery award. Can't believe that she has rumor chinese sugar daddy make her look like grand mother next to jan ki young.

      • All Korean actresses and actors has a little plastic surgery from here and there so what's so exciting to mention SHK. Should all the actresses and actors win an award for that. Such nonsense.

  • It is clearly a pity nomination and it exposed how both knetz and inetz have such a low opinion of shk. This is what happens folks when you just coast along in your job and don't do any effort to improve your skills.

  • I cant read Korean hangul, just curious, will SBS decide the Daesang winner only based on the voting mechanism? If yes, it will be ridiculous. Because SHK has bigger fandom compared to other 3 nominees, yet her performance in NWABU is worse than them. Shame SBS

    • Song Hye Kyo's performance in HYe is superb. I don't know where do you get that her acting is less impressive. Watch it so you'll know what she's there. Song Hye Kyo for the win

  • SBS acting like they only have fri-sat slot dramas.
    Also, I actually don't get the reason behind song hye kyo's nomination . Her drama failed massively both critically and commercially. The only reason sbs picked her could be due to the fact that she chose to make a come back on their channel.

    Anyways, my vote is for Lee Honey.

  • One of these things is not like the others...

    They nominated all this year's SBS drama leads with the notable exception of Kim Yoo Jung. Why did they snub her when her drama got better ratings and her acting got better reviews than a certain someone who is breaking up?

    • Y'all cry about it. Not SHK's fault for being relevant. Rather than blaming SHK. You should protest on SBS. Besides, if the girl deserve it she will be nominated or maybe they don't even consider her as an option.

      • @frills

        agree with u. that's the point. if she's worthy, then she would be nominated. it's not shk fault if kyj wasn't nominated. they should be angry on sbs why there are only 4 spots, not 5. probably kyj never even has been considered by sbs as a daesang contender. but they're going crazy and attack shk in twitter make them looks so immatured. her fans are very problematic. they'll throw shade to everyone to make yj looks better. so weird. before, they even said that it's a karma that the current sbs dramas (nwbu, obs) has a lower rating. wonder what sins that these two dramas has to do with their fav? they really need a reflection

    • Song Hye Kyo deserves to be there not that she's senior but she did an outstanding performance as what the character demands. Don't attack SHK but those who chose her to be there. And I'm so agree why she's there..

  • Okau, SHK leads the vote of Daesang nominees on SBS website. Wow does SBS really need money? Intentionally put SHK into the Daesang nominee, make voting mechanism on their website, let international fans stupidly bombard voting, gain money from yhe voting and the web traffic. Capitalist SBS

  • I agree, she should have not been included in the nominees. Usually it is those actors and actresses whose shows were huge hits that are nominated. NWABU is not even that.

    I don't think SHK even cares if she's nominated or not. Or is it because SBS felt bad for SHK?
