Fans of the South Korean entertainment industry are all excited for the upcoming 60th edition of the Baeksang Arts Awards. The popular annual event honours outstanding talent from both film and K-dramas. This year, the event is scheduled to happen on May 7 at the prestigious COEX hall in Gangnam, Seoul and the special night promises to be filled with glamour and celebration. Earlier, it was announced that Park Bo Gum, Suzy and Shin Dong Yup would be hosting the night and now, the organisers dropped the list of star-studded presenters for the upcoming event, featuring a mix of talented artists. Interestingly, the ceremony will feature winners from last year and rising stars from new dramas presenting awards to this year’s winners.
Last year’s Grand Prize winners Park Eun Bin and director Park Chan Wook, along with Lee Sung Min and Song Hye Kyo, Ryu Jun Yeol and Tang Wei, Jo Woo Jin and Lim Ji Yeon, Byun Yo Han and Park Se Wan, as well as Kim Jong Kook and Lee Eun Ji, will be presenting awards in pairs. Additionally, Moon Sang Min, Roh Yoon Seo and Kim Si Eun, who won the Best New Actor honours at the 59th ceremony, will also be presenting awards this year. In place of Jin Young, who started the military after winning Best New Actor last year, his BH Entertainment co-artist Jang Dong Yoon will attend the awards on his behalf.
In addition to past winners, stars from recent and upcoming films and dramas are also set to present. The list includes The Roundup: Punishment fame Kim Moo Yeol and Park Ji Hwan, Jang Ki Yong and Chun Woo Hee from The Atypical Family and Lee Junho from Cashero. Other than them, The Auditors star Shin Ha Kyun will also be presenting alongside Lee Min Jung. Actors like Ha Ji Seong and Gil Hae Yeon, along with comedians Kim Min Su, Jung Jae Hyun and Lee Yong Joo from Psick University’s Psick Show, will also present awards in various categories.
Interestingly, Kim Shin-Rok returns to present the Gucci Impact Award for the second consecutive year, as she’s been associated with the category since its inception. Kim will be joined by Next Sohee star Kim Si Eun, who was also the first winner in the category. Another highlight of the event is the long-awaited reunion of Shin Ha Kyun and Lee Min Jung after 11 years, as they previously collaborated in the 2013 drama All About My Love.
