Why are most of these stars dressed in black? There must have been a funeral after the award show, and they didn't have time to change.

I think that dress that Park Bo-Young is wearing is a dress that Moon Chae Won wore for an award show last year but hers was white.

My favorite's HJW's overall look. Her black gown was simple and plain, but she pulled it off like a goddess, as always. Hair and make-up awesome.

I also love SYJ's orange outfit too. The color may be a lil bit off, but hey, not everyone can pull that one off. I love the design and how the dress accentuated SYJ's figure. She's always fabulous.

Guys, they're all pretty much the same. Well KNG did look really SMEXY, but WTF with SJS's outfit? Man I love you a lot, A LOT. But....

And on the winners' list, sighz.. sighz. Jang Hyuk was totally snubbed by the awards. Had a very bad feeling before watching that LBH would get it, but I hoped that it would prove me wrong. For JH was the BEST in the list. Someone mentioned that Hyun Bin was equally snubbed too, for not getting a nomination. I CONCUR! If I had to rate the best performance from an actor I've seen last year/early this year, it would be a showdown between JH and HB. Urrhhh... such a bitter taste..

But oh wellz, awards are rigged anyways. Star power, management influence... why do I get so involved all the time? Sighs.

Kim Nam Gil = Newcomer??? I was also surprised! He's good and he deserves to win... but he isn't a newcomer at all.
Congrats to Ms. Go!

i personally think that Lee Seung-gi looks adorable XD
and damn......Kim Nam Gil

Go Hyun Jung - Are you going to a funeral?? her dress is so 80's
So Ye Jin - she looks like an orange cream popsicle
Seo Woo - She looks hot, nice racks!
LBH - as always looks crisp
Yoon-Ah - are you going to a high school prom??
Ha Ji Woon - she has a nice curvy body but I don't like her dress..a little slutty?
So Ji Sub - seriously...what were you thinking???

'A few years back, I would cringe upon seeing the winners list. Now, I’m rather oblivious and emotionless. Unfortunately, Baeksang only serves as a chance to see stars I like and what people are wearing. It’s lost it’s legitimacy of being critical and valuable.

Rant: Dramas are already being awarded through ratings and netizen popularity, shouldn’t there be a source of comfort for those who strive for excellence but don’t accomplish the popularity vote? How does awarding dramas twice, in the ratings/popularity dept then in an Awards ceremony inspire artistic/innovative growth? Maybe I’m expecting too much. *sigh*'

I cant say/ rant better. I still rem just couple yrs back when I first started my fandom Baeksang had weight, now either we have to talk ourselves into the 'I understand' or just take it as an interesting fashion show of the stars alternative to an Andre Kim show.

I concur on the binnie robbing.

I've watched Kim Nam Gil in Be Strong Geum Soon and Queen Seon Duk. Maybe the time gap was a little large but I don't know when he got so sexy.

Your comments were right on the mark for the most part. Some were hilarious. Thanks for the pics.

..though I don't like yoonah that much, I'd have to agree that she looks pretty on her dree...but why is it that whenever I see a pic of her, her head is always tilted to one side?.....
..plus i saw some other pics of the baeksang's and i saw a lot of breasts almost spilling out from their gowns...do they really have to squeeze the gowns that tight?....seriously!!...8 would look good if 8 just made d breast look bigger but it didn'T!...8 didn't look attractive at all....

that's right. Kim Nam Gil you sexy bastard. Oh I love him. Cannot wait to see him in Bad Guy.

MGY's weight loss might be due to her hepatitis. i remember seeing somewhere that she got hep B(?) but is recovering from it nicely.

LOVE:
Lee Byung Heon, Son Ye Jin, Ha Ji Won, Jang Guen Seok, Lee Min Ho!!!

Am kinda shocked how Yoona took back the Popularity award.....hahaha..proven snsd fanbase IS HUGE!

Congrats to Lee Seung Gi (he too has a HUGE fan base at the auditorium screaming out loud for all his nominations) hahaha

Kim Nam Gil is totally sexy! Is it just me ...but whenever i look at Jang Guen Seok, he always reminds me of Jo In Sung...man, i must have really missed JIS !!!!

i've been watching my name is kim samsoon over again (i didn't like it much the first time around, but i just bought the dvd set for my sister, who loved it) and i like it much better this time haha. anyway, kim namgil was in it!! he played a doctor friend to both hyun bin and jung ryeo won's character. when i first saw him i was like waaaaaitttt... is that you?? haha a dramawiki investigation confirmed my hunch :D

i think shin se kyung looks gorgeous, but the fact that she does act so shy ALL THE FREAKING TIME really gets on my nerves. in the sitcom, in interviews, etc. i'm a girl but i really hate it when girls act like jellyfish with no spines

i love moon, can't wait for cinderella unni. but she IS really thin, could use about five pounds. i personally like being super skinny, but moon looks positively fragile. you can look super skinny AND healthy.. :(

Ahaha I love your comment about JGS. Yes, considering his red carpet history, this one's a win. :P

Yay for Choi Kang Hee winning! I loved her in Aeja- it was an amazing movie.<3 So was Lifting King Kong, and we see Jo Ahn here. (: And Ha Ji Won. Woooeeyy Ha Ji Won can pull off any look any time. But yes, Moon Geun Young looks so skinny :/ Maybe it's for her drama.. but she needs to gain some weight.

And yes, our baby Lee Min-ho is growing up. I thought the personal taste couple looks absolutely dashing!

I'm sad that Yoon Eun Hye lost the popularity vote. At one point, she was only trailing by 1% behind Yoona. I mean, Cinderella Man wasn't even popular. As for My Fair Lady, it wasn't really a big hit, but the ratings managed to stay pretty good (part of it due to YEH's popularity...)

You know, I am not one to hate on anyone at all or throw cheap comments, but I do have to agree with you with Yoona winning the Popularity Award for Cinderella Man. For clarification, I am not saying she's a bad actress or that she doesn't deserve the award, but the fact that I don't understand why she would be awarded for her role in Cinderella Man. I would consider myself a great fan of Kwon Sang Woo but even that isn't enough for me to ever consider him a Popularity Award for his role in Cinderella Man.

I don't get it. Who votes the Popularity Award? The fans? If so, I guess it's understandable but it's still a little surprising. I would think Park Shin Hye would at least be considered for the Popularity Award for her character in You're Beautiful.

Anyway, I don't really like Son Ye Jin's dress! She's usually more fashionable and better dressed or maybe it's just the color. Ha Ji Won's choice was surprising but still manages to pull it off and look sexy. So Ji Sub, no comment. What can you say to someone who dresses like that unless you just came straight from a movie set and absolutely did NOT have time to change. Joo Jin Mo looks sexy and Moon Geun Young looks great even with her weight lost! So what? She lost her baby fat but as she doesn't look unhealthy.

i agree with the recap,..i personally think that Kin Nam Gil isn't a newcomer,although he is really good in QSD..but,come on,the title is 'best new comer',if you have done several dramas before,so it's not worth to call you a new comer.In my opinion,Lee Seung Gi shoud've get the awards considering he's only got a few drama in his hands and also he's a singer anyway,..so it's a remarkable thing for a singer to do such a great job in the case of acting.

IRIS??oh come on,I know it's all over the news about how big the drama was even before the release,but is it too much just considering the hype?chuno would've a better choice for winning best drama and actors.as for the script,i would say Brilliant Legacy is good choice for winning it since the drama has a moral aspect and seems like it's carefully written.

Kim Nam Gil, Shin Se Kyung, Han Yoo Joo, and Jung Yongwha are my top pics for best dress for the night!

ughh Lee Min Ki what has happened to you?

ooooh a bit late on the comments bandwagon but:

oooOOOOoooooOOOO! jung yong hwa was there!!! makes me wish park shin hye was there too! and YAY for jang geun suk looking NORMAL and put together and APPROPRIATE for the event!

i would not have thought of giving lee byung hoon the daesang anyways so i'm happy go hyun jung got it. i'm sad to see smile you didn't get acknowledged

MBC really swept up most of the awards... huh...

What that pink dress is doing to Hong Su-ah’s (My Precious You) breasts is criminal. I hate it when I see that at awards shows. That is not fitted or flattering.

Baeksang is ridiculous. It's been a few years since it's become a sort of popularity awards.

ermm about the dashing Kim Nam Gil being a newcomer...So ji -sub won last year The 45th Baeksang Arts Awards: Best New Actor (Rough Cut) and definitely he wasn't a beginner either
They should gave him an award in the past...Miindo was 3 weeks in a row in the top of the box office, No regrets was very well received by the critics in Europe(but Mother was very well received overseas..so its not that), Public Enemy last year received the Daesang..I've seen Goodbye solo just because KNG was in the cast- Soo-hee how could you do leave such a sexy lost puppy...he will bite you-and he did..but damn the ratings again, and in Lovers as Tae San...OMG YES PLEASE I want some more....
he was all the time that sexy but the media just didn't noticed him... he still doesn't have a site or fan cafe in english...you hardly can get some news about him....maybe if someone remembers about the overseas fans(like the Easten Europe, Asia Minor or Middle East fans)--but wait this is the big problem with kactors...language barrier..and all we want are some infos

Joo Sang-wook-beside that his role was a small one...who could see him when you look at the screen with a Magnifier searching for BiDam(Kim Nam Gil), and the cast was really handsome Lee Seung Hyo is another cutie pie,Yoo Seung-Ho sweet like honney, Jun Noh Min sexy ahjussi, Baek Do Bin=muscle boy..Uhm Tae Woong...the screen was full with testosterone!Joo Sang-wook was just another handsome on the silver plate...we didn't have time to think about his acting

So Ji-sub' s costume..first time I've seen it I thought he was on a military leave(dunno the technical term)
I loved Shin Se-kyung's gown
Iris...erm I'm trying to watch it...but after 3 days I'm at 7th ep and it doesn't work, instead other dramas(especially KNG's dramas I marathone one in a day )
With this drama I've learned that muscle act(yeah right) but I didn't mind....I like sexy half naked men...but doesn't keep me focused on it- throw with stones in me but LBH is good but not that good,but I fall for Jung Joon Ho and the boybander from Iris

I was eating something when I came upon that "Kim Nam-gil, you sexy bastard" comment and I just about choked. ^_^ I do agree completely with you, though.

damn....Ha Ji Won looked so damn hot...Go Hyun Jung looked great as well...I would have prefered QSD for best drama...congrats to Kim Nam Joo but YoonA for popularity!?! I saw Cinderella Man and it blew chunks...she sucked...Lee Yo Won or Han Hyo Joo or gong Hyo Jin....but again damn did Ji Won look hot

Jung Yong-hwa and Lee Minho are adorable!!

Hwang Jiungeum? Really?

Chuno got nothing , very weird .

and Yoona got award , ridiculous . poor acting ever actress .

No matter how much IRIS is not live up to the hype but no one should ever argue how terrific LBH as an actor in any production including IRIS. He's just so natural and charismatic eventhough i never find him good looking.. but he sure a hotteee

Lee Byung Hun deserved the best actor award...no doubt about it.Dont think he win it just beause he is damn famous now w IRIS but he is the most versatile charismatic actor.IRIS is nothing without him.

Abt JGS 's popularity win for Itaewon-- it was decided by his korean fans to devote their votes to the movie category vs the TV one, as apparently, in korea, being a MOVIE actor has more clout and gives more respect than being a TV actor. Anyway, methinks that it would have been a very hard fight with LSG's fans if they had chosen to battle it out in the TV category.

Yum...Yum...LBH..so so so hot. ..sweet..charming...not incredibly handsome..but just too hot ...everything of him....the best asset...He is one damn of the greatest actor i know!

ahahha, So Ji Sub....ekekeekkeek My favorite actor of all time. keeke. all I can do is *giggle*..laugh* ahahha. He's a funny guy...

Yoona, hmm, I wondered why she won when she didn't even have a drama but I forgot about "Cinderella Man."..haven't watched it but I don't know if I will....

Ha Ji Won.....so gorgeous!!!!!! I am glad to be in the same age range as her......she's my inspiration.....

Best: Shin Se-kyung. Her gown was just gorgeous and it suited her very well.

Thumbs-up: Kim Nam-gil. He just oozes charisma wherever he goes.

PFFFT, High Kick Through The Roof won best entertainment program? Call me biased, but the show's ending turned it into crap. It succeeded in catapulting many new actors into stardom though. I look forward to seeing them in future projects!

i'm agree with u..Han Hyo Joo and Yoon Eun Hye are more deserve to get the award than Yoona...netezins are too blind..they just vote for their idol without consider about the capability....

a lot of the awards given in Korea seem more to do with money made than anything to do with 'artistic merit' , certainly so in music and Tv shows. I do not know much about the film side of things.

I like Son Ye Jin's dress.. lol at So Ji Sub's outfit.. hehehe..

whoah, SYJ got a special award.. nice!!!!!

@58 Kim

"I’ve watched Kim Nam Gil in Be Strong Geum Soon and Queen Seon Duk. Maybe the time gap was a little large but I don’t know when he got so sexy."

I actually went to check who Kim Nam Gil Played in BSGS since I didn't quite remember him and realized he played GS's young husband and also added to the confusion he went under a different name back then. Seriously DAMN when did he get so sexy.

SoJiSub made my day. Too funny.

I love HaJiWon's look. She really pulls off whatever she's wearing, whether it's casual t-shirt and jeans or something like this.

Love SonYeJin's color. Award ceremonies usually showcase off-white or black. I like a dash of color in it. Thank you.

I stopped wondering who wins and just look at all these red carpet pictures.

And YES to JangGeunSuk. Finally, man, you are getting there. No more crazy hair or crazy stuff. Yes! :)

Jung Yong-hwa ... He's looking beautiful. And Lee Min Ki... Where have you been? Any news of new projects?

Great article! So well written and... "This is like Gu Hye-sun coming to an award dressed in Jan-di gear." LOLOLOL!!!

kim nam kil reminds me of a korean johnny depp! and i agree - moon geun young is looking scarily skeletal...someone needs to feed her!

I wanted to comment,but the only thing I can remember about the awards show was Kim Nam-gil. Joo Jin Mo looked sexy too!

yeahhhhhhhh true eyes K!NG won,, yipiiii

woot woot..!! congratulations to Kim Nam Gil and Go Hyun Jung! :) hihihi!! Kim Nam Gil Oppa!!! :)

When will Korean people start to think more to the quality than quantity???
High rating and popularity is good but its become worse when u use that to credit people an award for what it seem other people deserved it more...

I reaaly lost respect to Baeksang..
