The 2024 APAN Star Awards has finished on December 28, 2024. This award event was quite interesting because it unexpectedly brought together Lee Yi Kyung and his ex-girlfriend, Jung In Sun. It was known together in April 2018, Yi Kyung and In Sun had admitted to the public that they had been dating for a year after falling in love through the tvN drama "Welcome to Waikiki".
However, the agency revealed that the two actors broke up in June 2018. Now, at the 2024 APAN Star Awards, Yi Kyung has successfully taken home the Male Excellence Award (Mid-Length Drama). Meanwhile, In Sun was awarded the Best Short Drama or Web Drama Actress award.
When he got on stage, Yi Kyung expressed his gratitude for winning the award for his acting in "Marry My Husband". "First of all, I am very grateful to the 'Marry My Husband' team," he said. "However, most importantly, I am very grateful to the judges for choosing me among the great nominees. The way actors meet each other is through projects," added the actor born in 1989.
"At the awards ceremony, there were people I could greet and thank, but there were also people I've always wanted to meet but haven't worked with," he said. Yi Kyung unexpectedly mentioned Kim Tae Ri's name. "For example, I greeted Kim Tae Ri, and she really recognized me. I am very grateful to the judges who made that possible," said the actor.
After that, Yi Kyung mentioned In Sun, his ex-girlfriend. "And there's someone I thought I'd never meet again. For those who know, you know, thank you to the judges who brought Jung In Sun and I together again. Congratulations on your award, Jung In Sun," he said with a genuine smile. Closing his speech, Lee Yi Kyung reflected on his acting journey to be recognized until now.
"This award has a special meaning to me because many people associate me more with variety shows than acting," he said. "Receiving an award for playing a villain means a lot to me. I'm very grateful. If anyone is wondering, 'Why did he win the Male Excellence Awards?'—it's not too late. Please watch 'Marry My Husband,'" he concluded.
