Actor Choo Young-woo won the Best New Actor Award at the 61st Baeksang Arts Awards.

At the ‘61st Baeksang Arts Awards with Gucci’ held at COEX D Hall in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the 5th, Choo Young-woo won the Best New Actor Award in the broadcast category for his role in JTBC ‘Madam Ok’.

Choo Young-woo, who won the Best New Actor trophy, said in a trembling voice, “I am so overwhelmed and honored just to be here, and I am grateful for this award.It feels like this is not something I did, but a gift from the director, writer, and actors I worked with.”

Next, Choo Young-woo expressed his determination, saying, “My acting teacher once told me, ‘Rather than being an actor who rusts and disappears, be a person who wears out and disappears.’ So I will work even harder until the day I wake up in the morning and go to the set as an actor.”

In ‘The Tale of Lady Ok’, Choo Young-woo created a life character with his three-dimensional dual role as the celestial electrician Cheon Seung-hwi and the eldest son of a noble family, Seong Yoon-gyeom.He showed off a wide spectrum of acting with detailed gaze, voice, and facial expressions that made his first historical drama challenge seem colorless.

Through the play, Choo Young-woo showed the best pure love in Joseon, and with the magical spell of “I am the best, I am great,” he gave deep emotion and resonance to those who need courage in life by boosting their self-esteem.

Choo Young-woo plans to continue his trend this year by meeting viewers through the Netflix series ‘The Square’ and tvN ‘The Fairy and the Cowherd.’
