Lee Hye-ri and Park Bo-gum snubbed at the 61st Baeksang Arts Awards
Lee Hye-ri and Park Bo-gum, both nominees at the 61st Baeksang Arts Awards, walked away without wins after the May 5 ceremony at Gangnam's Coex Hall. Lee received a nod in the New Actress (Film) category for Victory, where she took on the role of a spirited student juggling cheerleading and hip-hop, drawing acclaim for her fluent Gyeongsang accent.
She also received attention for her layered performance as Yoo Jae-yi in Friendly Rivalry, which portrays deep emotional complexity. Park Bo-gum, who was nominated for Best Actor for When Life Gives You Tangerines, also did not take home an award. His portrayal of Yang Gwan-sik was lauded for its genuine intensity and emotive nuance.
The drama, co-starring IU, resonated widely for its tender portrayal of youth, generational struggles, and life's quiet heartbreaks, earning love across Korea and beyond.
Though both were strong contenders, Lee Hye-ri and Park Bo-gum were ultimately bested by others in their categories, leaving fans disappointed.
Lee Hye-ri is gearing up for her first solo fan event, the 2025 HYERI FANMEETING TOUR: Welcome to HYERI's STUDIO, kicking off June 7. She'll greet supporters across six cities, including Osaka, Tokyo, Macau, Taipei, and Hong Kong. Meanwhile, Park Bo-gum plays Olympic champ Yoon Dong-joo in Good Boy, an upcoming JTBC series.
