Kim Soo Hyun lands Best Actor nod; Ji Chang Wook, Kim Ji Won snubbed: See 60th Baeksang Arts Awards nominees list

The illustrious ceremony honouring representatives from the South Korean entertainment industry will be held at COEX in Seoul on May 7 at 5 pm KST. To be broadcasted by JTBC, the 2024 Baeksang Arts Awards narrowed down its list of deserving candidates, encompassing TV and OTT releases and films premiering between April 1, 2023, and March 31, 2024.

Certain ongoing series were also considered for the competing race if at least one-third of the shows had aired by March 31.

Some A-list snubs that fans couldn’t get past this year included Kim Tae Ri – Revenant- and Kim Ji Won’s – Queen of Tears – exclusion from the Best Actress category (Drama). Meanwhile, Ji Chang Wook – The Worst of Evil – was also barred from the Best Actor (Drama) title.

On the other side, Exhuma swept the film category nods with each leading actor of the project – Choi Min Shik, Kim Go Eun, Lee Do Hyun and Yoo Hae Jin – landing a nomination along with other technical honours.
