45th Baeksang Arts Awards


New Actress winner Park Bo-young

Awards!

The 45th Baeksang Arts Awards were held on the evening of February 27, which means: lots of awards for film and television stars, and lots of clothes to gawk at.

There were no real surprises in the winners list; they’re mostly a variation of the same lists we’ve been seeing from the other ceremonies in the winter awards season. Some film winners include A Movie is a Movie and My Dear Enemy, while acting honors went to many of the Daesang winners from earlier awards, like Kim Myung-min, Moon Geun-young, and Sohn Ye-jin. Oh, and a little actor going by the name of Lee Min-ho took home one of the newcomer awards — but a stumble on the red carpet keeps him humble.

Check out all the winners (and the clothes!) beyond the jump:


Winners Kim Myung-min, Moon Geun-young, Sohn Ye-jin, Joo Jin-mo

Sohn Ye-jin (My Wife Got Married), winner in the film category for Top Excellence, always looks chic and lovely on the red carpet. I don’t think the gown is particularly noteworthy, but the fit is awesome and she looks beautiful and polished, as usual.

 

Good lord. Moon Geun-young (Painter of the Wind) is a fantastic actress who only keeps getting better, but I am disturbed to see this obviously emaciated (and ever-shrinking) young star being lauded in the media for her “beautiful clavicle line” and overall appeal in this look when she frankly looks very, very sick. Shouldn’t someone… be helping her?

 

Kim Myung-min (Beethoven Virus) took Top Excellence for his Kang Maestro, as well he should. Though he’s going a little casual without a tie, I dig the double-collar look on him. He looks comfortable and relaxed.

 
Now, on the other hand, as for his Beethoven Virus co-star….

Really, the question here shouldn’t be, “What in the freaking hell is Jang Geun-seok (Beethoven Virus) wearing?” but rather, “This is Jang Geun-seok. At an awards ceremony. Surely you are not surprised by now?” This is just par for the wacky course for Jang. (If he’s going for Odagiri Joe-ish or Kim Jae-wook-ian eccentricity, um, it didn’t work. He doesn’t have the requisite “I don’t give a damn so bugger off” vibe to pull that off.)

 

It seems a little ridiculous that So Ji-sub (A Movie is A Movie) gets a “new” actor award, but eh. Logic is not a constant force in these awards shows anyway. Welcome back to television, dude. He looks dapper in this monochromatic, sleek black look.

 

Was it intentional, then, that his co-star and co-winner Kang Ji-hwan (A Movie Is a Movie) came in all white? Not my favorite look on Kang, but I think he manages decently. It’s not anyone who can do all-white and come off looking respectable on the red carpet.

 

Case in point:

That’s Korea’s resident alien and bastardizer of fashion shows, Andre Kim, in case you didn’t recognize him. (Although, who could forget once they’ve got that image burned in their brains?)

 

Congrats to Newcomer Award winner Park Bo-young, who is having a fantastic year with Speed Scandal! She’s one of the new crop of young actors who gives hope to her generation; she’s lovely and refreshing and has a bright, bright future ahead of her.

 

Her good friend and two-time co-star, Lee Min-ho (Boys Before Flowers) (like he needs an introduction), also took home a Newcomer award, for the television portion. Part of me thinks it would have been awesome to see him come in character as Jun-pyo (and not just because I think he rocks the curls like nobody’s business), but I do kind of love how simple and un-Jun-pyo-esque he looks here, with his slightly doofy smile. It does seem like he’s not quite used to the instant fame yet.

And I also kinda love how he actually ate it on the red carpet — then just brushed it off, laughed embarrassedly, and went to join his F4 buddies.


 

Speaking of F4: Kim Hyun-joong (Boys Before Flowers) looks pretty sharp in a tux — although, as with Lee Min-ho, it’s kind of weird that these boys look dressed down from their drama characters, here at a black-tie formal event.

 

Kim Bum (Boys Before Flowers) lost out the Newcomer award to his castmate Lee Min-ho, but he’s looking adorably happy here. No signs of his foot injury, either, so it looks like he’s recovered (or nearly recovered).

 

But I think that of all the F4 boys, Kim Joon (Boys Before Flowers) looks the smoothest in this setting. (He will tire of hearing this, I’m sure, but his resemblance to Jang Dong-gun is particularly strong on the red carpet.) He’s a little casual, but I like the little stylish touches — the skinny tie and the extended shirt cuffs.

 

On anyone else (except perhaps Kim Min-hee?), this could be a disaster, but Gong Hyo-jin (Crush and Blush) is a fashion goddess and she wears the heck out of this. I’m even digging the gladiator heels, which as a rule I HATE.

 

I get it! Han Ye-seul (Tazza) got tired of gown-shopping and opted instead to wear a giant jellyfish. Also, I am pretty sure that over-the-shoulder coy smile is her patented trademark. All other actresses, beware.

 

Er, not a fan of this dress on Yoon Eun-hye (Coffee Prince), although I like her hair and makeup styling. It’s just that the bodice looks so tight and stiff, like the material expended all its energy holding in her chestal region that the rest of the dress gave up and said, “Eh, good enough. Let me just hang out in the back here.”

 

Lee Junki (Iljimae) has found the look that works for him, and it is the three-piece tux. As an aside: is he growing out his hair? (Yay?)

 

Joo Ji-hoon (Antique Bakery), you won a popularity award! Would it kill ya to smile, Mr. Smirky Grouchypants?

 

Joo Jin-mo (Frozen Flower) goes formal with tails, and looks gooood.

 

Park Shi-yeon (La Dolce Vita) is really coming into a strong style of her own, isn’t she? Love the color and the bright belt — which looks classy instead of gaudily clashing — and this fits her absolutely perfectly.

 

Her Marine Boy co-star Kim Kang-woo ain’t looking too bad himself.

 

Bubble skirts can be iffy for an event like this, but this dress is so flirty, cute, and whimsical on Moon Chae-won (Painter of the Wind). Age- and event-appropriate. Love!

 

Once again, I must ask: This baby-faced Song Chang-eui (Scale of Providence) is supposed to be playing Kwon Sang-woo’s older brother in their new drama? Psh.

 

The gorgeous Kim Ji-soo (Women in the Sun) is stunning in red.

 

Han Ji-hye (East of Eden) is kinda working that Clueless-ian “Monet effect” — pretty from a distance, but up close all the individual parts are a bit off. The dress’s super shininess and color in combination are a little gaudy, her makeup is bland, and there’s nothing I LIKE about her look… but she still looks pretty. Just not her best.

 

Um… I kind of get what Choi Yeo-jin (My Woman) is going for. At the top, it’s severe Cleopatra-like structure, in the middle it’s generic cocktail fashion, and the bottom is shredded Pocahontas fringe. Put them all together and the reaction you get is mostly: head-tilt accompanied by a “Huh?”

 

Can’t you construct an entire inner monologue just based on the expression on Jung Kyeo-woon’s (Women in the Sun) face in that last picture? “Hem… how much longer do I hold this smile? Sucking in… gut… killing me… Next time, wear a vest, not a cummerbund!”

 

Meanwhile, Jo Min-ki (East of Eden) is like, “Psh, all you young things, step aside. Let me show you kiddos how to WEAR a TUX.” And, well, he sure wears it like a pro. He’s kind of a sexy bastard, isn’t he?

 

I love modernized hanbok styles in general, and this is no expection. It’s also particularly appropriate on Kim Min-sun, given her role in the lush period film Portrait of a Beauty. (But… I wish it was in a color…!)

 

Not much to say about Park Hae-jin (East of Eden). Brush your hair?

 

Lee Tae-ran (My Precious You) doesn’t usually wear the most attention-getting gowns, but she does know how to style herself with class. She’s looking lovely.

 

Shin-ae (Empress Cheon-chu) always looks awkward to me at these types of events, even when she’s wearing a pretty dress and made up well. I wish she’d worn a color (notice a recurring theme here?) instead of more nude tones, which were so prevalent at this event.

 

Lee Soon-jae (Mom’s Dead Upset) and Park Mi-sun (Sunday Sunday Night) both won for their TV shows.

 

Love the yellow of Go Eun-ah’s (Love at Sarang) dress, though I keep thinking the dress should be longer. Or shorter. And where did her foot go?

 

For a second, I thought Park Sol-mi (Cell Phone) was wearing the same dress as Sohn Ye-jin. Wouldn’t that have been embarrassing.

 

Hong Ah-reum (My Precious You) and Lee Young-eun (Oh My God 2) both do short dresses, but I think with vastly different results. Hong looks kind of forgettable, but I think Lee’s long-sleeved drapey number is adorable and fresh. Her dress = WANT.

 

Yet more beige for Boys Before Flowers‘ bitch trifecta, the “Jin-Sun-Mi” trio aka actresses Min Young-won, Kook Ji-yeon, and Jang Ja-yeon. They would have looked so much better in color! Instead, they look kind of like Charlie’s Angels, only, not in the cool-and-fun-kickass-heroines way, but in the whoa-the-70s-are-back? way. Individually, they’re not too bad, but together they all wash each other out.

 

Han Ye-won (On Air) is wearing a similar look to Moon Chae-won, but while I think Moon rocks her funky dress, Han’s is a little too normal to be interesting in comparison

 

And oh my goodness, Wang Seok-hyun (Speed Scandal) is like a living bobblehead of cuteness.

  1. Is it makeup or does Kang Ji hwan have some crazy eye bags. Gosh my baby must be overworked

  2. I guffawed at the fashion police comments! Especially about severe smirky grouchypants ahahaha. I was a lot disappointed by the lack of color in these clothes, but I am thinking they’re just going with the spring 09 trends…. besides I wish I could look as good as those ladies in chiffon!

    And when Lee Min Ho is not in the Gu Jun Pyo character, he is quite the humble, goofy looking guy, which is, I mean I don’t know the guy at all, but after two months of watching this guy be an arrogant spoiled brat, really different from what I am used to.

  3. third!

    oh the BBF guys look so suave! and awww Lee Min-ho ^___^

  4. I love everything about Boys Before Flowers,
    “I do kind of love how simple and un-Jun-pyo-esque he looks here” his smile………..ehmmmm so sweet. i agree with you Sarah,thanks for sharing this…

  5. woah. what’s with Jang Geun-seok’s hair!!??

  6. Loving all the BBF pictures…

  7. i was a little worried for kim myung min looking SOOO different from his BV and WT days, (but yeah he looks good in that double collar) then I saw JGS and i had to hold in my laughter lest someone call me insane. OMG, what is that fella DOING to himself?! THAT HAIR! THAT HAIR! is that a wig?!

    same goes for KJH. i was like oh okay, nice nice..then..Andre Kim! HAHA. javabeans, you are good.

    i love how LMH is being like a child to this. Hope he always remember that fall he has to stay humble. Humble celebs are usually the best.

    Yeah, i agree that the f4 boys dressed so down from their drama that it’s a little odd…but maybe because its their first time in such a grand event, better wear something more oscar tradition, no? but loved how they look. SO GOOD LOOKING!!!! best looking f4 ever. (but why is he not responding to kim bum smiling at him? :P looks so wrong on photo.)

    moon geun young is too thin. someone please feed her food, quick.

    overall everyone dressed well for the event. not JGS. at all.

  8. i’m happy for boys over flowers, f4 is hot. i wish GHS was there with them.

  9. I don’t like Soh Ye Jin, her dress is ok on her. She looks so ordinary in spite of the beautiful dress. Wha’t with Eun Hye’s dress? elegance mixed with trashiness?
    On the other hand, Park SHi yeon looks fabulous.

  10. I find th Min Ho red carpet “moment” quite amusing.

    “Oh poor thing”

    ;)

  11. Ok, who do I have to kill to get those dresses from Park Shi-yeon (girls on point right down to her toes) and Park Bo Young?! They look beautiful. Andre Kim scares me. it’s like way past the pet cemetary scare level and please, someone feed Moon. I love her. She’s one of my favorite actresses, but she does not look healthy. That’s not a look that should be praised in any way. Oh and, Lee Min Ho can do no wrong. Seriously, he still looks hot while eating carpet. Work it!

  12. Yoo Eun-hye’s looking prettier these days….but the dress she wore…should have been a tube and the tail cut? haha

    JGS is awesomely funny! maybe he’s trying to find the style that fits himself the most the guy’s a youngun he’s stil experimenting! haha

    Kang Jihwan looks like a handsome groom…MARRY ME!

    And the BBF boys? it’s good to see that they’re all in the event and enjoying themselves…I hope they stay good friends even if the drama is over..=)
    -and we should name Kim Joon as JDG II.

    My fave dress in this event = 0

    Thanks for the post!

  13. oh mi, Moon Geunyoung is so anorexic!!! She needs help and start eating healthy, looking healthy again.

  14. i adore park shiyeon’s dress! :O

  15. What happen to GHS?

  16. thanks for the recap javabeans.

    Congratulations Kang JI Hwan, Lee Min Ho, So Ji Sub, Kim Myung MIn

    Ji Hwan looks good but i think he is back to working hard again after his vacation because he looks tired :(

    Poor Lee Min Ho stumbled in the red carpet but still managed to smile charmingly afterwards :)

  17. goodness…

    when did Go Eun-ah grow boobs???

    @_@

  18. awww poor him!!! Wouldn’t it be awsome if all F4 walked together!!!!!! AHHH what a sight that would be but then again all the fan girls probably throw themselves on the poor boys!!! No i have to disagree with you javabeans, I think LMH really shouldn’t come with the GJP hair b/c then he’ll be stuck in his character forever!!!

  19. Jo Ji Hoon didn’t smile but at least he washed his hair this time!

    Where’s Koo (Go) Hye Sun from Boys Over Flowers? Did she attend? I want to see her!

  20. Thanks so much!
    I love these fashion recaps, they’re so much fun, and I know they must be hard to put together~
    Love the YEH dress comment- hilarious.
    Loving LMH too, he does have a doofy-cute smile!

  21. OMG! Jo Ji-Hoon! What happened? He’s growing dreadfully ugly! Lol ..:o)

    Congrat to Kim Hyun Joong for his popularity award. He still look so frail and sick to me. I prefer his image in WGM, a lot healthier and sexier.

    Thanks a lot for the recap

  22. can anyone confirm: Is moon chae won’s dress the same one word by gaeul a the club scene with yijung in BOF??

  23. oh gosh i love the colour of park sol mi’s dress, it really complements her skin tone and make-up. the draping of the dress is fabulous as well!

    generally the stars all look really good – i’m guessing the stylists do most of the work, jang geun suk being the exception :D

  24. Thank you, Sarah! :D
    After only getting four hours of sleep last night, the laughter has brought me my second wind to help me make it through the rest of the day. Works even better than caffeine.
    You’re the best! *muah*

  25. I like Park Shi-yeon’s gown the best! And sorry to say this, but I find one of the 3 bitches of BBF very pretty — Kook Ji-yeon.

  26. i mean, i didn’t expect gu hye sun to appear at this because she’s not nomm’ed, but if the tarty three are there, then surely gu hye sun…

    anyhoo, i’m kind of not fazed to see f4 in suits anymore. i’ve been desensitized, haha, but lee minho’s lookin’ good.

  27. Gu Hye-sun was in a car accident, I believe. (Sigh)

  28. Finally, a well deserved award for Maestro KMM. I am so glad he won the big one. However, he does look disturbingly THIN. I remember what he made himself go through during the filming of White Tower, I hope he is not doing any serious damage to himself in the quest of perfection. I do hope this is as thin as he is going to get in the movie otherwise I will be too scared to watch the movie.

    Lee Min Ho looks absolutely gorgeous like that, without JP curly top. Same with So Ji Sup………stunning in black.

    As for JGS, I am just speechless :D

  29. LOL that’s a wig on jang geun seok right? wow, never thought a man would wear a wig unless he was bald…..korean male fashion surprises me! he looks ridiculous!

  30. I can hardly recognise Lee Min-ho without his Gu Jun-pyo curls. And I agree with you, he can rock the curls like nobody’s business!

    Lee Min-ho, you are one hunky looking boy with a great physique and sensational smile. LOVE!

    Congratulations and keep up the good work. You’ve got plenty of good years ahead if you choose your roles wisely.

  31. Most of these ladies look incredible, notably Son Ye Jin, Kim Ji Soo, and Park Shi Yeon. Always classy on the red carpet.

    I don’t know what the hell Jang Geun Suk is doing though…he’s adorable, but would it kill him to attend an award show wear something presentable?

  32. I’m really happy for KANG JI HWAN!! Even if I like him more in black dressing.

    About the women dressing I only have an opinion: bad bad bad. The most dresses are terrible, not elegant but too common.
    Bad color, bad style and bad accessories for many stars.

  33. Are Park Bo Young and Lee Ming Ho wearing the same ring on the same finger? His on the right hand and her on the left hand. Seem to rememer LMH/GJP wearing it in BBF also. Couple rings maybe ?

  34. As usual, the ladies pretty much all look ravishing, but I know nothing from fashion. A pretty face, one the other hand… Did I miss seeing Yoona, or was she not in attendence? I’m happy that both she and the ever-lovable Moon Geun Young were recognized for their efforts. Having no opinion on Yoon Eun-Hye’s dress, I give it points for allowing us a gander at her legs!

    As for the conspicuous by her absence, Goo Hye Sun: Her day will be coming at this same time next year when she walks off with the top award for her current project, the name of which escapes me…

    P.S. Gown, notwithstanding; Lee Tae Ran ALWAYS gets my attention!!!

  35. [...] ISPlus Traduzione: Dramabeans e [...]

  36. LOL Javabeans you know you wrong with that comparison of KJH & that Andre Kim!! I almost died laughing… so f’ing funny, the contrast is that drastic LOL

    Yea, Moon Geum girl needs to add some weight. She really looks anorexic, and that’s not pretty… Wang Seok-hyun is so cute!!! I love little kids trying to rock out tuxedos… it’s so cute. Park Shi-yeon’s dress knocks out all of the competition, it’s so gorgeous and totally spring wear. Plus I totally remember her from My Girl! I wish Lee Min-ki was there though… I miss seeing him :( Thank you Javabeans for making this post

  37. I was lurking for this post the whole last hours cos I do really love how you comments all the looks and the dressing on the red carpet..so funny and so true…ihihihi…anyways next year hope to see you on the red carpet and commenting …^_^..

    LMH managed his fall with extreme class and so cute how he felt embarassed after that….I love his smile

    the ceremony was really fast but all the awards are well given and they all deserve it even the popularity awards which I found it not really related to cinema and drama industry …

  38. “Gu Hye-sun was in a car accident, I believe.”

    D:

    I thought it was minor but it makes sense, and she really does need any reason she can get to take a day off.

  39. wow, can you really trade daesang for investment wons? somebody better be coming up with more jobs with that one.
    LOL @ “beautiful clavicle line”. maybe next year we’ll have competing goddesses for “beautiful rib cage line”.

    and yesyesyes…i love you kim ji soo! Lady in Red!!

    p.s. i’m sure park bo-young did her share of good work for Overspeed Scandal. but they should’ve recognized her for the much bigger role in ESP Couple. she’s a blazing talent in dramedy (maybe a female Song Kango-ho in 5 years?)

  40. Miss MGY..please do eat something….F4 is really cute…but Mr. So Ji Sub is HOT*.8

  41. There is something about the right-most picture of Joo Ji-hoon that makes me think of cartoonish depictions of bandits. Or maybe Zorro or something…..

  42. Well deserved winners!

    Oh, LMH is just too adorable. I hope he stays grounded because things are just going one way for him after BBF, and that’s UP!

    Kang Ji Hwan should have worn black. So Ji Sub is way hotter in black. *faints*

    Jang Geun-Seok….I barely have words…Korea doesn’t just have one resident alien in Andre Kim, they have JGS too! He must be so uncomfortable being pretty…I find no other reason…

  43. All those dresses are glorified prom dresses. Why do people in any entertainment industry dress so badly?

  44. I’m not a huge fan of Joo Ji Hoon’s new look. I love Moon Yoon Eun-hye, Park Shi-yeon, and Moon Chae-won’s dresses!! Kim Bum is so hot in that tux!

  45. Where is Ga-Eul or Kim So Eun?

  46. Lee Min Ho is soooo cute… laughed out loud at his trip at the red carpet! lolz… At least he managed to make some fun out of it..

    Kang Ji Hwan and So Ji Sub get my pick for the night! (Because I am biased, and I love them…) hehehe… Lee Min Ho and Son Chang Ui didn’t look that bad either.

    As for the girls, I love Park Bo Young, Kim Min Sun and Park Shi Yeon’s dresses. So flay-ish…but really, they came in style. Somehow I don’t really dig the tight-fitting dresses or mini gowns anymore… love the bigger ones! And wth is Yoon Eun Hye wearing? Not digging it at all..

    Jang Geun Seok, OMG his outfit was a failure!! Unless he’s Ryu Seong Bum or Lee Min Ki, he should stick to the normal tux..aiks..

  47. Thank you for your coverage of the fashion ups and downs at the 45th Baeksang Awards.

    I personally thought Yoon Eun Hye looked stunning in that outfit, although it may have looked better had she put on a necklace.
    I am loving her makeup, it just blends in ever so nicely with her skin tone.

    Kang Ji Hwan rocked it in white at the last Baeksang yes?
    Well, white suits him so no further comment.

    Joo Ji Hoon? is he a new actor? why does he look so grumpy? If you don’t want to be there then dont attend in the first place, LMAO.

    Moon Geun Young and Moon Chae Won looked adorable but the former looked rather ill.

    Kim Bum and Lee Min Ho, the next big things to hit the hearts of the female population.

    Thank You once again!

  48. yes! KMM got the Best Actor again! So happy for him. And for MGY too, although, I think she looks too thin.

  49. 45// Both Kim So Eun and Goo Hye Sun did not attend an award show. Apparently, YG Ent. (Goo’s company) is not in a good relationship with the sponsor of that show (YG doesn’t care about most of award shows in Korea), so the award show people didn’t even invite her to show.

    Meanwhile, Goo got into some serious car accident, so she is in hospital now. I hope she will get well very soon!! Inside of her mouth was torn, so she had to get stitches for it and right now her face is too swollen. Plus, even if swelling goes down, she won’t be able to speak properly, so the doctor said she has to rest for a week (they are still checking her for possible internal injuries), but the Group 8 is sorta pushing her to continue shooting because of tight shooting schedule for next episode.
    Also, the award show people didn’t invite Kim So Eun either, so she is not there.

  50. CONGRATS TO F4 WINNERS!!
    KIM HYUN JOONG & LEE MIN HO.
    LOVE THEIR SPEECH .SO MUCH NERVOUSNESS & CUTENESS..
    JUST CAN’T HELP BUT SMILE. NO PRETENTION.
    I GUESS BOYS WILL BE BOYS…(IN A GOOD WAY)

  51. oh no!! joo jin mo’s hair?!?!?!!?

  52. Some of the winners are unexpected.
    Congrats to Kim Myung-min! That hairstyle ..the same hairstyle as his current filming movie? It looks funny. 8D

    Yoon-ah won the popularity award? I thought Moon Geun-young was way ahead, but that could be change since last I checked it was a week ago.

  53. Go LMH! He looks extremely dashing with straight hair. The guy looks good in anything doesn’t he?

  54. awww the little one is such a cutie ^^

  55. that cute little guy in speed scandal must be in the ‘Jun Pyo’ do….saw him coming up to Minho for a handshake during the ceremony…probably a fan

    Oh my after seeing that unforgettable fall make me love him more….Congrats Min Ho and all the winners

  56. oh my gosh, the dresses this time are actually really pretty despite the many muted colors. I love Park Shin-yeon’s dress…the color, the drapery, the way it makes her look so pretty! props to her! and the majority of the guys look absolutely suave and charming in all their suits. Lee Minho looks so adorable. personally i find him the most good-looking when he’s wearing ordinary, not too gaudy, clothes. I’m not a die-hard fan of Lee Min Ho, but that cute smile of his does melt me a little. and as happy as i am for him that he won the newcomer award, i was really rooting for Kim Bum. he was so fantastic in East of Eden and i don’t really think Boys Over Flowers is a hard enough drama to get a Baeksang award, but Lee Min ho is the best actor in it so i’m not entirely disappointed. but Kim Bum looks so charmingly happy. all the F4 boys are looking great! even Kim Hyun Joong who i’ve never really been a fan of.
    one more thing: Moon Chae-won’s dress makes me hungry for either a cream puff or vanilla ice cream. haha.

  57. This awards show stunk to high heaven. Joo Jin Mo for best actor, and Viva! Love for best picture. Okay maybe Joo JIn Mo wasn’t that bad in Frozen Flower, buuut certainly not in the same category with Song Kang Ho and Ha Jung Woo for My Dear Enemy. LULZ.

  58. The F4 boys all look gorgeous! LMH is so adorkable in these shots!

  59. felt soo bad for LMH when he tripped….the pics were bad but the youtube clip I saw seemed worse….gahhh, I felt embarrassed for him…..anyways, glad he was able to make fun of the situation :)

    I thought it was absolutely adorable how he seemed to genuinely really enjoy the fans’s reactions and going to the ceremony! Makes me love him more…..

  60. why on earth is Jang Geun-seok wearing a wig?

  61. Thanks for the red carpet commentary, you should host a live show :) I’m very biased because I’m such a huge fan, but I think Yoon Eun Hye looks stunning–both her make up/hair and her dress. Girl is smoking hot! Son Ye Jin also looks particularly stunning (she was great in “April Snow”).

    And oy, Andre Kim… (shuddering while trying to erase all images of Andre Kim, his fashion shows, or anything he has created from my mind). Doesn’t Korea have much better fashion designers it could present on the international stage?

  62. i still wuv park hae jin, love him in his wake-up hair than his usual slick styled ajusshi
    while JGS, … he’s not odagiri joe’s BFF isnt he?
    kangjihwan in all white: come on, he done that last year, i guess, this is the 3rd/4th time
    aww cutie pie minho trip, i lol-ed for one full minute, i need to grow up, gosh i love him without curls
    KMM looks like… totally different person o_O
    LJK black hair again?

  63. LOL, not sure which are more hilarious: your remarks on Han Ye Seul or those on Joo Ji Hoon. :lol:

    But I think you cut Kang Ji Hwan some undeserved slack… ;)

  64. LEE MINHO! CONGRATzzzzzz

  65. #49 – Thanks for the information.

    I miss Hye Sun. I was so irritated reading news about Hye Sun over at allkpop.com. There seems to be so many anti-fans over there and there is like constant comparison between HS and YoonA. I have nothing against YoonA but it is really getting on my nerves.

    I am so glad to see that there are people here asking where is Hye Sun. I think she will look gorgeous if she came for the ceremony.

    Oh ya.. Love LMH. He is so cute and humble. I really pity him for his fall at the red carpet. With his popularity right now, you can really see the news of his fall everywhere. Hope people will forget abt it soon. haha..

    Super enjoyed reading news from Dramabeans.com. Thank you, Dramabeans!

  66. OMG! That kid is the cutest thing EVERRRR! OMG! I love him!!! lol
    They all look lovely!

  67. what is happening to Choi Ji Woo? she didnt appear at the carpet?

  68. I was seriously shocked after reading Korean news headlines about Moon Geun Young being a “clavicle beauty.” It’s mind-boggling that people could look at her now and think such statements, instead of first being worried about her health. It’s certainly different from the American media constantly making headlines about thin stars who are “anorexic.” I won’t say that she definitely has an eating disorder, because I don’t think such statements should be made lightly, but there is obviously something going on that needs to be addressed. And if it does happen to be a life-threatening eating disorder, I would only hope that people realize they should not be encouraging this (even if it is unknowingly). Hopefully this issue could be brought to light in Korea so that more people get treated early on…

  69. Yay!!! Congrat to Kim Hyun Joong! He’s so soooo deserved it!
    Love his speech, very nervous but sincere!

    Lee Min Ho is soo adorable! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeb6-wqo9h0
    Thanks for the recap

  70. LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL x infinitishnizzle at your commentary on Yoon Eun Hye’s dress!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it’s like you verbalized the heart of what i didn’t even know i was thinking, but reading itit was seriously like, *EXACTLY* :P

    and HUWAAT gu hye sun in a car accident??? hot potatoes!

  71. While Miss Moon may be person on the slim side, one could hardly see her condition as anything near life-threatening. Though twenty some odd years of bon-bons on demand and 160 pound females is now considered as being the average, it is this modern reality, and not the former norm, that invites a persistant threat to one’s health. Many years of being involved in fitness and athletics have revealed this reality to me when performance (or the lack there of) is studied with the aim of producing an optimal recurring outcome. Be the athlete male or female, if the outline clavicle is not clearly detectable with the naked eye….the player should have gone out for offensive guard instead of running back.

  72. NOOOOOOOO…..whether curly or straight hair…why is it that LMH seems so cute to me? -_- I should get my eyes checked or else I will be stuck on this pretty boy.

    Ah….MGY is too thin. I dig her acting since I haven’t seen such a talented actress in a while but……EAT WOMAN!

    As for the dresses…they all seem so “bleh” -_-.

  73. OMG, i nearly fainted when I saw Joo ji hoon’s pic there. He looked so different!
    well, i think he should go back to the Goong look.

    So sad for min ho, he actually fell!
    I think he was pretty nervous in this kind of event that explains why he missed the step and fell. At least he fell gracefully(:
    love you minho!!!

  74. Uh, I like Yoon Eun Hye but where is her style gone. I mean her hair was a mess, her dress was…a bit…really poor!O.o WHY Yoon Eun Hye!? Do you have to be nominated to be goodlooking. We are not at a shooting where your messy style is cool. Very disappointing to me this Awards with Yoon Eun Hye.

    Joo Ji Hoon where was your magical smile and please cut your hair…T.T I like you but you have to be well-groomed! At least his film is ruling!XD

    Moon Geun-young scared me more than a bit!O.O She was/is so skinny and her dress did not the best to her figure. Eat more and get yourself help!

  75. In my opinion, Shinae, Park Si-yeon and Son Ye-jin (as usual for her) were the most stunning actress of this ceremony.

    Ah, and Yoona, she won 2 awards again after the two awards she get while the KBS awards, that’s mean 4 awards, it’s beyond belief, I’m very very happy for her.

  76. @51 : i love joo jin mo’s hairstyle ! anyway, i love him whatever he wears ^^’ i am sooo biased :D

    i’m kind of sad for kim bum :( he could have won the best new actor, and lee min ho the popularity award…. i dont really like kim hyun joon :( i told you, i am soooo biased :D

    i really like all the outfits on the red carpet ^^ thanks you dramabeans for all the recaps about ceremony awards :)

  77. I like Park Si Yeon, Kim Ji Soo and Shin Ae’s looks!

    Ji Hwan, my white suited prince! He should came riding a white horse!! :D

    Joo Jin Moo, looks sharp as usual, but yes I would like to see he cuts his hair.

    F4 boys look dashingly hot… I never think that Kim Joon has some resemblances with Jang Dong Gun, but hell yes in those pictures, he looks nearly as hot as JDG. Hahahaa.

    Love your comments, Javabeans!

  78. Kimbum has a smile like the sun!

  79. Joo Ji Hoon looks like some french-raised korean. His style is totally ‘Frenchy’/'Italiani’. Has that got something to do with his role in some film?
    And yeah, some people need to eat more.
    (But sometimes eating more kind of doesn’t help. I eat more than my sister but I’m underweight and she’s like roundish-plump.)

  80. Looks like SSH and LYH didn’t win anything, huh???
    And, main question, where are they? .. hehe
    By the way, I love all actor/actress winner in Baeksang award ..
    They deserve it ..

  81. Park Bo Young & Lee Min Ho both wear their rings on their index fingers???

  82. Yeah, it does seem that Lee Min Ho and Park Bo-young are wearing similar rings.
    Hoo…hooo..hoo imagine the scandal :) (If they are a couple, they look cute together)

  83. hmm isnt kang ji hwan wearing same thing when he and sung yuri won that best couple award back then in this award except he has a flower now check it out : http://www.dramabeans.com/2008/04/44th-baeksang-arts-awards/#more-2588\
    it doesnt matter cause he’s still hoott! im so sad he’s out of triple.. i hope to see him soon an a drama…
    My favorite dress is Park Shi-yeons’s dress! I love the F4 guys they are looking so fine!! i was cracking up with lee min ho’s fall. I love his facial expressions and how he just brushed it off and laugh. I love a guy who can laugh at their dorkiness and doesn’t have to put up their macho vibe to hide their mistakes.. soo cute.. im not fond of kim hyun joong’s hair it doesnt seem right to me.
    Who’s that scary alien looking guy? why is he in fashion? is he addicted to plastic surgery because he can probably rival michael jackson.
    I love the pics thanks so much!

  84. yoon eun hye dress/gown is disappointing..she keeps on appearing in fashion magazine as a style icon but she is not living up to what she wanted to portray…bad choice of dress…gown..i don’t know how to describe it because of the short/long length..i hope the actresses who wear…fugly gowns should have watch oscars/emmys or golden globe in order to get some ideas on choosing the right gown ;o)..congrats to lee min ho….by they way, i like the gowns of the trio girls in BOF…thanks drama beans…

  85. The boys before flowers guys are looking fine… Very fine…

    But where is the other boys before flowers cast like goo hye sun and kim so eun?? They didnt come??

  86. I like Moon Geun Young but I was shocked seeing her pictures. Her head now looks too big for the rest of her body.

    Haha and Minho! He’s just adorable…I probably loved him even more after he fell and just got straight back up with a grin on his face. But I probably felt all his embarassment for him + more!

  87. oh my! oh my! almost all my fave actor pix are in here!! a million thanks for this!!

  88. Thnx javabeans for sharing these wonderful photos of the event! Congrats to all the winners & am so happy for LMH winning the Best Actor plus Kim Myung, Song Ye Jin & others. Where is my other fave Song Seung Hyun? he didn’t win this time?

  89. yeah, their rings really look similar.( refering to lee min ho and park bo-young)
    wonder if it is the same????

  90. I’m loving Jang Geon Seok’s look. It’s like a cross between Buckethead, and a smiling hobo. His fashion truly speaks to our times. His fashion statement says welcome to the jungle baby!!

    I actually find Kim Myung-min’s weight loss more disconcerting than Moon Geun-young. He could pass for late 20s (good), but it also looks like Joo Ji Hoon is his dietician.

    Moon Geon Young’s poor posture accentuates her clavicle clevavage. That’s not hot. Also I don’t like the fake eyelashes and the makeup they’ve applied to her eyes.

    I mostly like So Ji Sup’s all-black attire (evil), as it’s meant to contrast with Kang Ji Hwan’s all-white symbolism (good.) The contrast looks pretty awesome (cheesy?) on stage.

    Kim Joon’s 80s tie really makes his look, and I thought he came out best among the F4. I felt the bowtie was wearing Ki Bum, and as you said, Lee Min Ho seemed to be dressing “down” opposite his fur-wearing cad alter-ego.

    “On anyone else (except perhaps Kim Min-hee?), this could be a disaster,”

    It IS a fashion disaster!! Gong Hyo-Jin, bless her alterna-heart, is the Cher of the red carpet. But, yes, I admire her ability to step out in looks like a dress 2 sizes too big, and what appears to be an Isaac Hayes pimp-dallion. It’s all awesome.

    “Han Ye-seul (Tazza) got tired of gown-shopping and opted instead to wear a giant jellyfish. ”

    LOL Perfect!!! I do love that color on Han Ye Seul though.

    I liked the dress on Yoon Eun Hye, but I especially like how Yoon Eun Hye has really started to *wear* her dresses on the runway. In recent photo shots, she’s learned Son Yeh Jin’s trick of featuring a little cleavage and shoulders to complete a mature, glamorous look. However, I didn’t like her slightly crimped fringes. I feel with YEH, you want to play off her full mouth and cheeks. This fringe, however, barricades her eyes and makes you focus on her nose.

    Lee Jung-ki’s 3-piece is a winner, but he’s uhhh fitted real tight down there. Cough. I guess he wanted to reiterate that he’s pretty and manly at the same time?

    Joo Ji Hoon’s pictures makes me realize how much he needs to do a stoner movie. I mean, look at his eyes, he’s already rehearsing. :D

    There’s manly. Then there’s Joo Jin-mo manly. Joo Jin-mo manly — that Roman nose, the scandalous leer — is what you see on the cover of bodice rippers and dream sequences involving Mohicans and Bonnie Tyler songs. He’s gotta be strong, he’s gotta be fast, and he’s gotta be fresh from the fight!

    Park Si Yeon’s the best dress of the night. Though I thought the belt was a little large on her.

    I didn’t like how Moon Chae Won wore her meringue gown; She seems very self-conscious of short it was (much like Han Ji Min and her recent cleavage-baring dresses.)

    Red isn’t Kim Ji-Soo’s best color. But she the blue-blooded one is the most effortlessly (intimidatingly) elegant presence on the carpet on any given night.

    Among actresses, Han Ji Hye’s my favorite at the modeling, and she’s kinda settled into a solid groove in the gown department. Except this one. This is the worst look of the night. Kim Hey Soo, Han Go Eun or Choi Yeo Jin could pull this Venusian goddess look off. Not her. But her head is voluptuous.

    “He’s kind of a sexy bastard, isn’t he”

    Shin Tae Hwan, you’re the one for me!!! :D

    I’ve always liked Jo Min-Ki, very classy presence. And I’m glad they’re finally committed to finishing the show.

    Kim Min-sun’s way too thin, but at least she’s standing up straight.

    Love Park Hae-jin’s look. Love Park Hae Jin. Since his break in Fabulous Chili Sisters, he’s kinda become the emo boy of this generation. The look suits him.

    I thought Shin-ae looks wonderful, and I also find it disturbing that she’s had to defend her weight.

    Go Eun-a’s dress is the raunchiest. And I mean, that COLOR.

  91. Aish! LMH! Such an elegant gentleman – even while tripping *smirking* Awww…

    I am super excited now b/c this means this is just the first of many, MANY awards that BBF will be receiving in the future. WHOOO!!

    And I love how Kim Hyun Joong shouted “KAMSAHAMNIDA” at the end of his speech. so nervous but so nice!

    BBF – Aja! FIGHTING!!!

  92. oh wow, everyone looked good if not great

    and love the colorful looks especially shi yeon’s and men always look nice except of jang geun seuk and ji hwan, what is with the all white?

    loving yoon eun hye’s dress even if it looks so constructed like framework or foundation of a body.

  93. Um, if not a wig, then is Jjang Geun Seuk prepping for next role as transex/cross-dresser? “What in the freaking hell” about says it all.

    As for Kim Myung-min, I kinda miss his BV 80s-ish hairstyle. He looks strangely different in these pics.

    And Lee Min Ho. Oh, just a huge dish of YUM!

  94. “Joo Ji-hoon a.k.a. Mr. Smirky Grouchypants.”

    Bwuahahaahaha.
    LOL!

  95. I actually really liked YEH’s look! It kind of gives off a glam-rock sort of look. And the colour of the dress is gorgeous! Her hand in the last picture looks really awkward though.

    JGS: What on earth is going on in your head? If it’s not weird hair, it’s weird clothes. Can’t you just look sharp for once! :D

    Would have been nice if Kim So Eun and Goo Hye Sun had turned up! :) Escorted by the F4 boys of course…

  96. omg, that last pic? epic cuteness!!!

  97. love those women who had decided to wear colorful dresses- looooove park shi yeon’s look. Sad that MGY looks so emaciated nowadays….and Jang Geun Seok-ppuuhhhlllease hire a personal shopper and fashion assistant- he’s a great-looking guy- but his fashion sense is beyond horrible. Joo Ji hoon really needs to smile- he looks ugly without his smile. And Lee Minho looks so different when he’s not Jun-pyo- he really is an awesome actor!

  100. My Kang Ji-hwan is working so hard…he’s hot no matter what he wears :)

  101. @80: “Joo Ji Hoon’s pictures makes me realize how much he needs to do a stoner movie. I mean, look at his eyes, he’s already rehearsing. :D

    LMAO! i agree, he should be a junkie for his next (disaster) film.

  102. anyone else think that park bo-young’s smile in the first picture looks extreeeemely plastic? her face almost doesn’t look human anymore.

  103. Miss MoonGeunYoung please take care of yourself!! ^^ Congratulations again!

  104. Congratz Moon! take care!

  105. Shin Ae is always stunning! And I find it refreshing that she might feel awkward, shows her modesty and humility. She is real.

  106. I’m loving the smiles on Lee Min-ho and Kim Bum’s faces. It’s so endearing to see the two of them really enjoying themselves. Makes me all happy inside.

  107. I’m really glad that Moon Geun-young won, but geez, her win was grossly overshadowed by the fact that she looks ill i.e. anorexic. The statue seemed too heavy for her to lift and her smile seemed more tired than anything. Please, girl, get healthy!!
