The 2026 Baeksang Arts Awards went off without a hitch today and the biggest win of the night was the Daesang for both categories going to individual stars (rather than project) and the two winners happen to be long time very good friends. Yoo Hae Jin took home the film Daesang for box office smash The King’s Warden while over in drama land the Daesang went to Ryu Seung Ryong for The Dream Life of Mr. Kim. One of them reminisced about the early days 30 years ago when they worked together on the street handing out flyers, and look how far they have come in their careers. Best Picture went to No Other Choice and Lee Sung Min was the only other acting winner from that movie taking home Best Supporting Actor. Both film actress wins went to younger actresses with Moon Ga Young as Best Actress for Once We Were Us and Shin Se Kyung as Best Supporting Actress with Humint. On the drama side, the big wins were You and Everything Else crowned Best Drama but the two amazing leads may have cancelled each other out in the Best Actress category with the win going to Park Bo Young for her lovely twin performances in Our Unwritten Seoul. Best Actor was Hyun Bin in Made in Korea and he sweetly thanked his beaming wife Son Ye Jin and their son. As for the outfits, as usual very boring but my favorite looks were Kim Go Eun and Moon Ga Young.
