The costume war romance drama “Lovers” starring Nam Goong Min and Ahn Eun-jin was a big winner at the 60th Baeksang Arts Awards, as reported by Epoch Times reporter Zeng Weixin. The drama took home two awards, including the prestigious Best Drama Award, and Nam Goong Min was honored with the Best Actor Award for his performance in the series.
This win was a long time coming for Nam Goong Min, who had been shortlisted for the award four times previously but had never won. In his acceptance speech, Nam Goong Min expressed his gratitude for finally being able to stand on the Baeksang stage and deliver a speech, stating that he felt really good about the win.
Fans were also touched by Nam Goong Min’s considerate gesture towards them at the award ceremony. Upon seeing fans waiting for him outside, he stopped his car, got out, and took a group selfie with them, which he later uploaded to his Instagram limited-time feed. This act of kindness towards his fans sparked discussions online about his thoughtfulness and humility.
While Nam Goong Min did not mention his co-star Ahn Eun-jin in his acceptance speech, he made up for it by posting a photo with her on Instagram the next day and thanking her for her contribution to the success of “Lovers.” The two actors shared a special bond, as they had previously worked together on the drama “Chief Kim.”
In a show of support for “Lovers” and Nam Goong Min, Hami Video, which exclusively broadcasts the series in Taiwan, announced that the show would be available for free viewing for a limited time in celebration of the award win. Fans can enjoy the first and second seasons of “Lovers” for free from 6 pm on the 8th to the 22nd of May.
The heartwarming moments at the Baeksang Arts Awards have solidified Nam Goong Min’s place in the hearts of fans, who continue to support him and his projects with enthusiasm.
