Popular Actor Breaks Down In Tears At The “2024 SBS Drama Awards”
Actor Seo Hyun Woo touched hearts at the 2024 SBS Drama Awards after winning the “Best Supporting Actor” award, delivering an emotional acceptance speech that left many moved.
Shin Dong Yup, Kim Hye Yoon, and Kim Ji Yeon hosted the prestigious event, which was held on December 21 at SBS Prism Tower in Seoul.
Seo Hyun Woo was nominated for his performance in The Fiery Priest 2, alongside other talented actors, including Kim Won Hae, Lee Jung Shin, and Jo Jae Yoon. Ultimately, Seo took home the award, marking a significant milestone in his 15-year acting career.
During his acceptance speech, Seo Hyun Woo reflected on his journey and expressed gratitude to those who supported him.
I really enjoyed watching The Fiery Priest 1, so I was happy when I received the offer [to join the second season], but I also felt a lot of pressure. That pressure was eased by the other cast members, I think—Kim Nam Gil hyung, Honey [referring to Lee Ha Nee], and the Fiery Priest family. It’s my first time standing at a year-end awards ceremony in 15 years since my debut. I want to sincerely thank my father, who supported me all this time and more over the past 15 years.
— Seo Hyun Woo
As he spoke, the actor’s eyes were filled with tears. Seo became emotional as he spoke about his father, who has been a constant source of encouragement over the years.
I think you’re probably watching this broadcast, and I’m tearing up. Please don’t get sick and always stay healthy. To my nieces and nephews, your uncle won an award! Honestly, I feel a bit afraid to receive this award. It’s not easy to greet viewers with a new character every time. Whenever I face those moments, I think I rely on and draw strength from my colleagues. I want to share this honor with the people I love.
— Seo Hyun Woo
