The cast of LG Uplus's content studio STUDIO X+U, Lee Hye-ri, Jung Soo-bin, and Mimi, has been nominated for the major categories at the 4th Blue Dragon Series Awards.
On the 27th, the impressive nominees for the 4th Blue Dragon Series Awards were revealed. In this context, Lee Hye-ri from the STUDIO X+U drama 'Friendly Rivalry' has been nominated for Best Actress, Jung Soo-bin for Best New Actress, and Mimi from the entertainment program 'Kian84' has been nominated for Best New Female Entertainer, showcasing both the quality of the work and the strength of the cast.
The drama 'Friendly Rivalry' intricately portrays the fierce entrance exam competition among the top 1% high school girls in Korea, with a sophisticated narrative showing the fractures between competition and friendship, desire and guilt. Lee Hye-ri, nominated for Best Actress, plays the genius high school student 'Yu Jae-i', who cannot even feel envy. She delicately embodies a sharp character that reflects a sense of deficiency, breaking away from her existing image. Additionally, her rich emotions and expanded acting spectrum have been praised, receiving accolades as a 'once-in-a-lifetime performance' while competing against formidable nominees for the Best Actress award.
Meanwhile, Jung Soo-bin, who received attention alongside Lee Hye-ri, plays the transfer student 'Woo Sul-gi' in 'Friendly Rivalry.' Jung Soo-bin naturally conveys the confusion and fear of being in an unfamiliar environment while solidifying her resolve, earning her a nomination for Best New Actress.
On the other hand, the entertainment program co-produced by STUDIO X+U and ENA, 'Kian84,' is an office reality show where former webtoon artist 'Kian84' becomes a daily 'CEO' to listen to the concerns of various corporations and propose solutions. Here, 'employee' Mimi represents the realities of office workers with relatable humor and witty remarks, generating both delightful laughs and genuine connections. Mimi also left behind the famous quote, 'My idea is the CEO's,' while directly experiencing the communication between the CEO and employees. Her cool sense of social life certainly attracted attention, landing her a nomination for Best New Female Entertainer.
The 4th Blue Dragon Series Awards, where Lee Hye-ri, Jung Soo-bin, and Mimi showcased their strong presence in STUDIO X+U's works, will be held on July 18 at PARADISE City in Incheon and will be broadcast live on KBS 2TV.
