Kim Soo-hyun makes fans laugh

Kim Soo-hyun turned heads at the Asia Artist Awards 2024 in Thailand on December 27, with his striking white blazer suit set that bore a strong resemblance to his wedding outfit from the hit drama Queen of Tears.

Fittingly, he won the prestigious Daesang for his role in the series, but it wasn’t just the award that stole the show, his hilarious and heartwarming moments throughout the event had fans buzzing.

One particularly amusing instance occurred when actor Byeon Woo-seok was announced as a winner. Despite being seated just a couple of seats away, Soo-hyun mistakenly turned completely around, clapping and searching for Woo-seok, only to realize the winner was standing right next to him.

Fans found his comical reaction both endearing and hilarious.

During his interview segment with Jang Wonyoung, Soo-hyun brought his playful side to the forefront. He delivered witty answers and humorously started retreating mid-interview, prompting Wonyoung to laugh and remind him she wasn’t done yet.

A sweet highlight came when he was asked to sing on stage spontaneously, and he surprised everyone with an impressive performance on the spot. Another interaction took place when he crossed paths with NCT members, leading Mark to eagerly snap a selfie with him.

At one point, Kim Soo-hyun switched seats to sit next to his longtime friend and fellow 1988-liner, Ahn Bo-hyun. The two were spotted chatting and sharing laughs.

The most memorable moment of the night, however, was his heartfelt dedication of the Daesang to his Queen of Tears co-star Kim Ji-won. Praising her for her performance and calling her the perfect fit for her role, he left fans in awe of their bond and mutual respect.

Fans celebrated Kim Soo-hyun’s "Actor of the Year" win by reliving these signature moments from the Asia Artists Awards 2024.
