Everything you need to know about the 56th Baeksang Awards
1. There was no audience
custom

The Baeksang Arts Awards had already been postponed till June 5 because of the Covid-19 global pandemic. However, the show must go on and the awards ceremony proceeded without an audience present. Instead, nominees, presenters and press filled the space with seats laid out in a safe distancing manner of at least a metre apart. A rather bizarre sight for such a grand occasion, but hey, we are living in extraordinary times.

2. There was a special stage for Covid-19
custom

Several child actors took to the stage for a special performance titled “Things We Took For Granted” where they sang as scenes from the year’s movie and television productions flashed behind.

This heartfelt act came with a positive, hopeful message that left many in the audience with teary eyes.

Seo Ji-hye, whom you might remember as Seo Dan in Crash Landing On You. Visibly surprised, she was nervous giving her acceptance speech but she didn’t forget to thank her team of stylists, makeup artists and hairstylists. We can also expect greater fashion looks from her as she gave her word on trying to be more trendy in the future.

5. Bong Joon-ho didn’t win Best Director
custom

Bong had won this accolade at the Academy Awards earlier this year, so many were expecting that he would win similarly at home. Instead, the award went to Kim Bora who directed House of Hummingbird, a film that follows a 14-year-old girl as she navigates life and changing times.

When the Camellia Blooms. Starring Gong Hyo-jin and Kang Ha-neul, the mini-series has received rave reviews and ratings. It went into the evening with nine nominations, just one more than Crash Landing On You and two more than Itaewon Class, and went home with four wins.
