Current Naver Poll of 2024 Baeksang Drama Awards Has Kim Soo Hyun and Ahn Eun Jin Leading the Public Vote for Best Actor and Best Actress

So there is a popularity award in both the film and the television sections of the Baeksang Awards so these two may win in the drama section even if not winning the Best Actor and Best Actress prizes respectively. I’m talking about Kim Soo Hyun for Queen of Tears and Ahn Eun Jin for My Dearest, who are leading the current Naver poll over who the voter would pick for Best Actor and Best Actress in a K-drama this year among the 5 nominees. Kim Soo Hyun has 50% of the vote for the men with Namgoong Min coming in second with 31% and the others are in single digits. Ahn Eun Jin is also a fan favorite with 46% and her closest competitor is Uhm Jung Hwa in Doctor Cha with 18%. I am really excited to see who the industry voters select as this is definitely a very strong year in terms of competition. A reminder that last year Park Eun Bin took home the Daesang, Lee Sung Min won Best Actor for Reborn Rich, and Song Hye Kyo got Best Actress for The Glory. My guess, and this is based on Baeksang really rewarding hits and ratings, is Kim Soo Hyun wins Daesang especially since QoT is not nominated for Best Drama, Best Drama goes to either Moving or The Good Bad Mother, and Namgoong Min and Ahn Eun Jin take home Best Actor and Best Actress.
