At the 2024 Asia Artist Awards, actor Kim Soo Hyun provided a lighthearted moment that resonated with many fans. A video clip showing him seemingly “ignoring” actor Byeon Woo Seok went viral, drawing laughter and relatable comments from viewers.
The Award Ceremony Moment
The incident happened when the “Best OST Award” was presented to “Sudden Shower,” the soundtrack from the hit K-Drama Lovely Runner. The presenter announced that Eclipse’s vocalist Ryu Sun Jae would accept the award. For fans of the drama, this was a clear reference to Byeon Woo Seok’s character and his fictional band. However, Kim Soo Hyun appeared confused by the announcement.
As Byeon Woo Seok rose to accept the award, expecting the customary congratulations from those seated nearby, Kim Soo Hyun turned his back, seemingly looking for the winner. This unintentional “snub” was caught on camera.
The clip quickly spread online, generating numerous reactions. Many fans found the situation humorous and relatable. Some comments from the online community included:
“How would he know when the presenters called for Eclipse’s Ryu Sun Jae? LOL.”
“HAHAHA.”
“Loool, this is so funny. But I also had no idea, so it’s understandable.”
“Lmao.”
“Why do these things always happen to Kim Soo Hyun?! Haha.”
These reactions highlight the fans’ understanding of Kim Soo Hyun’s confusion, as he was not necessarily expected to know the fictional band and character names from Lovely Runner.
This wasn’t the only viral moment involving Kim Soo Hyun at the awards. His interaction with IVE’s Jang Wonyoung also garnered attention.
