Actor Choo Young-woo added a ‘life trophy’.

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 the JTBC drama ‘Madam Ok’.

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

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 the character of a lifetime with his three-dimensional dual role as the celestial electrician Cheon Seung-hwi and the eldest son of a noble family, Seong Yoon-gyeom.

In his first historical drama challenge, he showed off a wide spectrum of acting with detailed gaze, voice, and facial expressions that made it seem like nothing was possible.

In particular, Choo Young-woo showed Joseon’s best pure love through the play, and with the magical spell “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.
