KBS truly knows how to throw a celebration! The 2024 KBS Drama Awards honoured the finest performances and productions of the past year. Though initially scheduled for December 31, the ceremony was pre-recorded and aired on January 11 as a mark of respect following the tragic Jeju Air plane crash. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly veteran actor Lee Soon Jae taking home the prestigious Daesang (Grand Prize) for his stellar performance in Dog Knows Everything. At 90 years old, Lee Soon Jae set a new milestone as the oldest actor to win the award, inspiring generations of performers. Seoul International Drama Awards 2024 Winners: Kim Seo-Hyun’s ‘Queen of Tears’ and Han Hyo Joo’s ‘Moving’ Bag Trophies, ‘Lovely Runner’ Stars Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon Snag Asia Star Awards.
