Top stars Go Min-si and Lee Jong-won have been selected as the main hosts for the first D Awards.
On the 20th, ‘The D Awards’ announced that actors Go Min-si and Lee Jong-won have been confirmed as the main MCs for the first ‘The D Awards’. Along with this announcement, ‘The D Awards’ also said that they have named Go Min-si the ‘The D Awards Muse’ and Lee Jong-won the ‘The D Awards Maestro’.
Go Min-si has stood out as a representative actress of K-storytelling, active in all areas from dramas, movies, and TV shows. As the signature character of the Netflix original ‘Sweet Home’, he successfully completed the series, and garnered attention by showing off his peak acting skills through ‘In the Forest Without Anyone’. Meanwhile, in tvN‘s ‘Seo Jin’s Family 2’, he caught people‘s attention by fully displaying the charm of ‘Natural person Go Min-si’.
Lee Jong-won starred in two works last year alone, creating back-to-back hits and establishing himself as a ‘Hot Icon’ of the home theater. He proved his limitless acting spectrum through the historical drama ‘Flowers that Bloom at Night’, and rose to the rank of ‘New Heart Stealer’ with successive box office hits such as ‘Intoxicating Romance’.
This is the first time that the two have hosted an awards ceremony. Go Min-si and Lee Jong-won, who became the ‘Faces’ of the 1st The Awards, are the present and future of K-storytelling and also have the common denominator of being male and female actors who are ‘Leading the MZ Actors Group’. In line with this, the two, who are considered the ‘No. 0 in casting’ for dramas and movies, are expected to have much attention from the global fandom as well as inside and outside the industry to see ‘what kind of chemistry’ they will show as the main hosts of the 1st The Awards.
Meanwhile, THE AWARDS is raising expectations for the awards ceremony by revealing the first lineup including ENHYPEN, FIFTYFIFTY, QWER, TWS, and UNIS on the 6th, and the second lineup including N.Flying, P1Harmony, tripleS, ZEROBASEONE, and 82MAJOR on the 13th.
It has been reported that the third lineup and the presenters who will shine at the first THE AWARDS will be revealed right after the Lunar New Year holiday.
The 1st D Awards with upick, hosted by Sports Donga and co-hosted by ‘Upick’ and WSM, will be held at 6 PM on February 22nd at the Hwajung Gymnasium of Korea University in Anam-dong, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul.
