Han Ye-seul taken to task for rude awards exit
by javabeans
Han Ye-seul may have gotten lots of raves about her glamorous entrance at the recent Korean Film Awards, but now she has to deal with reaction to her ungracious exit. Han left while the ceremony was still in progress, which was perceived by many to be rude and disrespectful — particularly because it came just after she lost the award for Best New Actress to Seo Woo (Crush and Blush).
Han was also up for the award, but walked out as soon as the winner was announced; the timing reflected poorly on Han, making it appear she left because she was upset at losing the award. Her departure led to comments that she was unable to be gracious and congratulate her colleague
Han finally spoke out on her homepage, posting up an apology on December 7, saying, “I’ve tried so hard to be careful about my actions, but I made a big mistake… I’m greatly upset that I caused people to be disappointed in me.” Han explained that she had been feeling tired from all the continuous filming of her recently ended drama Tazza, and had arisen early to prepare for a post-show interview. In retrospect, she writes, “I should have stayed till the end and shared in the congratulating of the remaining award winners. I was shortsighted.” She added that she’s worried that she may have given Seo Woo the wrong idea when she walked out, and pledged to be more patient and careful in the future.
I’m a little skeptical that she could really have been that naive to think that walking out wouldn’t look bad, and wonder if this is mere damage control. But Han’s apologies are effusive and she seems to have learned from it; I doubt she’ll ever walk out of an awards show early again.

She knew it was rude, but didn't really care. Maybe she hoped no one would notice. But honestly I don't blame her cause the other day I went to this seminar where a bunch of professors were going to talk. I was only interested in the first couple of lectures, didn't care about the rest, so I really wanted to leave after the first two lectures, but I didn't cause I knew it was going to be rude.

hmm hopefully this won't start a bad spell for her. kim tae-hee left grand bell awards early last year, and then her flop with sol kyung-gu later that year was attributed only to her. sometimes it's easier just staying home :D

Reminds me of an episode from On Air. So these things do happen. She looked great tho' even when she fell. It added to the drama on the red carpet.

yeah that was pretty rude to just walk out. what was she thinking when she walked out? even if she sat at the edge, there are people everywhere! bad judgment. maybe she was just too tired to think straight. oh well... she looks nice tho.. pretty.

Totally agree with you Sonam. Also if she was tired then she should've skipped the award show as she didn't have a problem getting dressed up to go. I mean let's be honest she thought she was suppose to win and when she didn't and the spotlight wasn't on her she bailed simple as that.

Couldn't she have said that she had a massive headache or a bad bout of gastro? Isn't that how people get off work early? Honesty is not always the best policy!

WTF is up with some of the comments on here like "stupid bitch"? Someone should wash your mouth with soap -_-
FYI, Han Ye Seul didn't leave right after they presented the Best New Actress award, but during the intermission which was after Big Bang's performance in which she applauded. Also, she's not the first, nor will she be the last, to leave an awards ceremony early during the intermission. Plenty of celebs have made early exits at award ceremonies before. It's not uncommon and it doesn't usually attract this much attention. Now you might be wondering then why is it attraction so much attention now? Well, it's because we're talking about Han Ye Seul here, and because she didn't win the Best New Actress Award which was presented shortly prior to her exit. But if you read her cyworld post you can tell that she was very sincere in her apology and a bit naive to not provide a fake excuse (i.e., she was really sick), but instead stated that she was feeling very tired after finished up her Tazza promotions, and just wanted to crawl into bed. She stated that since she's received so many blessings this year that she really wanted the Best New Actress award to go to someone else this time. I mean, this hasn't big that big a deal for someone to leave early in the past. Also, HYS isn't the type to leave because she didn't win an award. Plus, at least she came forth and apologized unlike plenty of other top stars, and boybands who have made much bigger flaws/mistakes and have not apologized for their actions. I really don't think there was a need for HYS to apologize, she could've easily stayed quiet and have it gone forgotten like what all the other celebs do, but instead she came forth and apologized for her mistake, said that she regretted it deeply, and has learned from her mistake, etc. What more do you want from her?

Also, Kim Yun Jin even told her she should go home early since she seemed really tired. She had an interview afterwards which is why she went out during the intermission, but because she was so tired she decided to leave early. There's no rule that requires everyone to stay until the very end. If you're not feeling well or very exhausted it's probably better for you to leave early then to stay. And there's plenty of people who don't even show up to the award ceremonies at all.

Well...two wrongs don't make a right.
There should not be any argument that what she did was discourteous to her fellow colleagues at the award show. These award shows always run long and everybody knows what they are getting themselves into the moment they decide to go. Leaving while the show is still in progress is a big no, Han Ye Seul or not. How would the award nominees after the intermission feel if half the crowd left because they felt tired after a long day? Everybody works...everybody came dressed up to attend the award show for it is a celebration of the actors' efforts that year. I think it is part of award presentation shows etiquette.
Anyhow, this isn't the end of the world...a good actress even with this experience can still get jobs, no? So, Han Ye Seul will definitely survive tomorrow. LOL. We have short term memories for this kind of stuff anyways. Most importantly, Han apologized and said she messed up at the show. No excuses given. Good for her.

ginnie - Agree which is why she did admit that she had been foresighted and that she made a mistake. And, of course, this isn't the end of the world, it's just temporary fodder for reporters to scavenge on.

This is a part of her cyworld post for those who can read Korean:
"그 책임감에 나름 조심조심 매사 현명하고 신중하게 행동하려고 무던히 애를 썼는데 제가 큰 실수를 했네여.
저에게는 마지막 영화제였던 대한민국 영화제에서 많은 분들에게 실망을 안겨드리게 되서 무척 속상하고 또 또 속상했습니다.
타짜를 마치고 계속 스케줄이 있던터라 솔직히 너무너무 지치고 힘들었습니다.
영화제 이후에 잡혀져있는 인터뷰도 무사히 마쳐야겠단 생각에 먼저 일어났는데 돌이켜보니 제가 참 부족했던것 같네여.
마지막까지 남아서 수상자들의 영광을 함께 나누고 축하해줬어야 했는데 생각이 참 짦았습니다.
신인상을 수상한 서우씨에게도 괜한 오해를 샀을까 조심스럽기도 하네여.
진심으로 진심으로 그동안에 받은 사랑만으로도 너무너무 충만했고 그날만큼은 다른 분들이 주인공이길 바랬고 마지막까지 참석해 영화인들과 함께하고 싶었고 너무 늦기 전에 마지막 인터뷰를 마치고 아무생각없이 집에서 한없이 한없이 쉬고 싶었습니다.
유종의 미를 거두지 못해 너무 죄송하고 앞으로는 사랑받는만큼 높아지는만큼 더 인내하고 더 낮아져야겠다 다시 한번 깨닫는 계기가 되었습니다. 이제 한발 한발 커가는 철없는 여배우의 실수 너그럽게 보아주시고 계속해서 사랑해주세여."

It must be the first time i comment but I think it was more that she was tired... She was nominated for this award, she didn't win it, she felt tired so as there weren't any other awards for her, she left, simply.
We are really harsh with celebs but let's remember they are like us... they have got drawbacks and they feel tired... Anyway, nice photo *_*
p.s : sorry if i make mistakes, i'm french =D

If she was tired she should had stayed home and rest.
If she decided to come she should be committed to stay to the end for the respect & courtesy to the organizer & her fellow artists.
You think she would leave early if she won? Bet not!

No need to popseoul this poor girl. At the end of the day, when a SoCal gal hasn't eaten anything just to fit in that dress, she's got to have her In N Out burger. Stuck in Seoul? Award shows? Crazy netizens? Who cares!! Damn it all, I want just my double-double animal style NOW!!! Mmmmmmm . . .

Everyone's been saying she left because she didn't win blah blah
In her defense, I think she was probably thinking about leaving even before they presented best actress but she told herself to stay because it would look very awkward if she were to win and wasn't present to accept the award even though she was there for the red carpet. and then everyone would wonder where she was etc. etc.
I think her exhaustion clouded her judgement because i would not have left the show at least not right after the award was presented to another person. She should've known that the media would speculate and draw conclusions based on her actions.

Firstly, she looks stunning in that dress. Secondly, I don't understand all the fuss, I agree that it was slightly rude and absent-minded of her to leave right after she lost the award, but that's not to say people can impulsively lash out on her and use this opportunity to express their unreasonable hatred towards HYS with the use of foul words, especially when she apologized almost immediately.
I'm sure, HYS wanted to stay as much as the next person, otherwise, why else would she waste such a gorgeous dress for a measly newcomer award and then leave early to top it off? It was, indeed, a naive mistake which anyone is capable of making, specifically if you're as busy as her and deprived of sleep.
After looking at zzzzz's comment, I believe we weren't given all the information to prove that she left as soon as the winner was announced, therefore, the bitching was uncalled for.

She is known to be a bitch in real life. she stayed at a hotel where she made all these unnecessary complaints and has a big head. she was unhappy that no one really gave a shit who she was and she ended up being a bitch, creating drama and complaints. such a low life bitch.
