Park Bo-young Wins Best Actress at 62nd Baeksang Arts Awards: A Journey of Courage and Competition

[JoyNews24 Reporter Kim Yang-su] Park Bo-young won the Best Actress in Television award at the 62nd Baeksang Arts Awards with Gucci for her performance in Unknown Seoul.

On the afternoon of the 8th, the 62nd Baeksang Arts Awards with Gucci took place at COEX in Seoul’s Gangnam district. Hosts Shin Dong-yup, Suzy, and Park Bo-gum returned as the ceremony’s three MCs for the eighth consecutive year.

After receiving the top prize, Park Bo-young said, \”There were times when I envied others. I tended to focus on other people’s talent and overlooked the effort behind it. I hated competition, and constantly having to prove my worth felt overwhelming. When I looked around, I saw actors who were excelling. My stubborn refusal to fall behind — my unwillingness to lose — pushed me to work hard, and those efforts made me who I am today. I want to express my deep respect and gratitude to the many actors who became friendly rivals and, at times, served as my pacemakers.\”

She added, \”I chose Unknown Seoul with big ambitions, and I worried and second-guessed that choice every day until filming began. Each time I read the script, I found courage I didn’t know I had. I’m grateful to the writer for creating a story I couldn’t pass up, and playing Miji while looking toward the future made me truly happy. I also thank director Park Shin-woo for guiding me onto the right path. Yesterday is over, tomorrow is distant, and today is still unknown. Let’s make the most of today.\”
