Junho wins Best Actor at Baeksang Awards ⭐️ (Patreon)

Gurgle. I am so, so, sooo happy for Junho, that he's made history, by being the first idol-actor to win the Best Actor award at the prestigious Baeksang Awards. 🥲
In my opinion, it's well-deserved; his performance in The Red Sleeve was, as someone said, revelatory. And it's so clear that his peers feel the award is well-deserved as well. I love how his co-stars in TRS all teared up at his win.
As an aside, how endearing is it, that he wiped his (I assume) sweaty palm on his jacket, before shaking the hand of the presenter who handed him the award. I love how sweetly nervous he is, and I love how, even in his sweaty nervousness, he thinks to be considerate towards the person shaking his hand. 😍
His emotional acceptance speech got me all emotional too; it's so clear that this means a great deal to him.
I love that his acceptance speech is honest and personal, and doesn't sound like something that someone wrote for him, and he memorized.
Here's a translation of his acceptance speech, which I got from @Sshana2 on Twitter:
“Hello this is Lee Junho,to be honest I really wanted to receive this award, I really thought a lot about preparing a speech because my dream and reality can be different.
Yesterday before sleeping I strongly felt that I wanted to receive the grand prize (best actor), I didn’t prepare a speech so I don’t know what to say.
First of all I want to sincerely thank everyone who did The Red Sleeve with me, and I want to say I love you to my family who is watching this broadcast right now.
I’m so thankful to the fans who came here and the fans who watched over me, I’m grateful to everyone who picked me.
As I said earlier I’m a person who dreams of what I want to do and always want to achieve.
I dream of becoming a better person in the future and meet you with good works that I can satisfy and impress you or myself, thank you so much for giving this award to me today, I will do better in future, thank you.”
Congratulations, Junho-sshi.. You've done so, so, so, SO well, and I'm so happy for you, and so proud of you. 🥲😭❤️
KFG ❤️
