Baeksang Arts Awards 2025 on April 7, 2025 released a list of actors and actresses nominated as winners. Among them, the Best Leading Actress and Best Leading Actor categories in the TV category have become a hot topic.
For the potential winners of Best Leading Actor, the nominees include Park Bo Gum "When Life Gives You Tangerines", Byeon Woo Seok "Lovely Runner", Lee Joon Hyuk "Dong Jae, the Good or the Bastard", Ju Ji Hoon "The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call" and Han Suk Kyu "Doubt".
Meanwhile, the Best Leading Actor nominees are Go Min Si "The Frog", Kim Tae Ri "Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born", Kim Hye Yoon "Lovely Runner", IU "When Life Gives You Tangerines" and Jang Nara "Good Partner" nominated.
Many have reacted strongly to these two categories. Byeon Woo Seok's name coming up for his role in "Lovely Runner" was questioned, as netizens brought up Ji Sung's incredible performance in "Connection."
Meanwhile, many people were disappointed that even though "The Tale of Lady Ok" was nominated for Best Drama, Lim Ji Yeon, who basically brought the drama to success, was not included in the Best Leading Actress nominations.
" I really liked 'Lovely Runner', but nominating Byeon Woo Seok over Ji Sung and Byun Yo Han is a weird decision [sic!] ," wrote a netizen. " Byeon Woo Seok is not good enough to be nominated for such an award [sic!]," added another.
On the other hand, it was shown that "When Life Gives You Tangerines" has achieved an all-kill, with a total of 8 nominations in various categories. Many speculate that the popular Netflix drama will secure the Daesang this year.
Because, "When Life Gives You Tangerines" not only conveys a profound message. However, the drama, which also stars Park Hae Joon, also includes extraordinary acting and cinematography that highlights Korean society and culture.
Many also made their own predictions, leaving comments like, "Most likely 'When Life Gives You Tangerines' will get the Daesang, while 'Doubt' wins Best Drama. Han Suk Kyu will win Best Lead Actor, while Best Lead Actress will go to IU or Kim Tae Ri ."
