Nominees of SBS Drama Awards 2024 Revealed
The 2024 SBS Drama Awards will mark its seventeenth year of running. This year, there is a star-studded list of nominees who will fight for the Grand Prize/ Dasang. The Daesang nominees include:
- Ahn Bo Hyun (“Flex x Cop”)
- Hwang Jung Eum (“The Escape of the Seven: Resurrection”)
- Ji Sung (“Connection”)
- Jang Nara (“Good Partner”)
- Park Shin Hye (“The Judge From Hell”)
- Kim Nam Gil (“The Fiery Priest 2”)
For those unfamiliar, the Daesang is the most prestigious award in Korean entertainment – the holy grail of recognition that every actor dreams of winning. It’s not just a trophy; it’s a career-defining moment that cements an actor’s status in the Korean entertainment industry.
The award’s recent history reads like a who’s who of K-drama royalty. In 2023, Kim Tae Ri and Lee Je Hoon made history by jointly claiming the top prize, breaking the traditional single-winner format. The year before, Kim Nam Gil impressed everyone by snagging the Grand Prize, while 2021 saw Kim So Yeon triumph for her powerhouse performance in “The Penthouse War In Life 2 & 3” – a role that showcased her incredible acting range and dramatic depth.
