Actors Shin Dong-yup and Suzy will join Park Bo-gum in hosting the 58th Baeksang Arts Awards, the biggest annual award ceremony that celebrates Korean cinema. From Best Actor to Best Television Drama, the nominees for each section of the 58th Baeksang Arts Awards have been finalized. It must be noted that the three celebrities have hosted the awards together for two years. Park Bo-gum couldn’t join as the MC of the ceremony in 2021 as he was serving in the military.
Park Bo-gum will return to the stage this year as the MC of the awards ceremony, marking his first activity since his discharge from the military. Comedian Shin Dong-yup, on the other hand, has hosted the awards ceremony for four consecutive years.
Suzy has hosted the Baeksang Arts Awards six consecutive times and Park Bo-gum hosted the event for three consecutive years before his military enlistment. He had promised to return to the stage after he was discharged.
