Celebrating Kim Hae-sook: An Icon of Korean Pop Culture Honored at the 2025 Korean Popular Culture and Arts Awards
Hello!
Today, I want to talk about actress Kim Hae-sook, an icon of Korean pop culture who has captured the hearts of many with her warmth.
Recently, her acceptance speech at the '2025 Korean Popular Culture and Arts Awards,' where she received the Silver Crown Order of Cultural Merit, was truly touching.
This awards ceremony is held annually to honor those who have shown outstanding achievements in the field of popular culture and arts.
This year, many stars, including Lee Byung-hun, Jung Dong-hwan, and G-Dragon, also participated.
In her acceptance speech, Kim Hae-sook said, "I am grateful and honored to receive such a great honor despite my many shortcomings," and expressed her ambition to become a warmer and more responsible actress in the future.
How much comfort did those words bring to so many people?
Her warm heart can also be felt in the characters she plays, which is why so many fans love her.
This year's ceremony was held at the National Theater of Korea in Jung-gu, Seoul, and was hosted by actors Kim Min-kyu and announcer Park Sun-young.
Many popular culture and arts figures attended the event, expressing gratitude for each other's hard work and confirming that they are all working diligently in their respective fields.
In particular, Lee Byung-hun said, "I'm just doing what I love, making movies, but I'm also embarrassed to receive such a great honor," and pledged to work hard so that Korean culture can shine even brighter on the world stage.
Also, Jung Dong-hwan mentioned that "the stage is a place of fantasy and a place of dreams," reminding us once again of the preciousness of being on stage.
These moments make me feel proud as a popular culture artist.
In addition, the Order of Cultural Merit was awarded to singer G-Dragon, voice actor Bae Han-seong, and the late comedian Jeon Yu-seong, with G-Dragon expressing his feelings that the things he had dreamed of were coming true one by one.
It was so beautiful to see so many stars gathering to congratulate each other and give dreams and hopes to the next generation.
Looking at the list of winners that day, various awards were presented, including the Presidential Commendation, the Prime Minister's Commendation, and the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Commendation.
All of this shows how much effort popular culture artists are putting in.
I hope that these awards ceremonies will continue in the future so that more people can be recognized and better works can be created.
Finally, like Kim Hae-sook's warm heart, I hope we can all strive to share warmth with those around us.
I hope you all reach out to someone with a warm heart today!
