Actors Lee Joon-young and Lee Joon-hyuk confused each other's names during an awards ceremony, leading to a heated debate surrounding broadcaster and former announcer Jun Hyun-moo, who announced the winners that night.

A mishap occurred involving Lee Joon-young and Lee Joon-hyuk at the 4th 'Blue Dragon Series Awards' held on the 18th at Incheon PARADISE CITY. Among the winners of the Popular Star Award, 'Lee Joon-hyuk' was called, but 'Lee Joon-young' mistakenly thought he was the one being called and went on stage.

Lee Joon-young quickly realized what had happened and immediately went back down from the stage. He also hugged Lee Joon-hyuk, explaining the situation and wrapping things up. Afterward, during the live broadcast's commercial break, he approached Lee Joon-hyuk once more to express his apology.

Meanwhile, some fans of Lee Joon-young criticized Jun Hyun-moo. As Jun Hyun-moo and Girls' Generation member and actress Lim Yoona were serving as the hosts for the 'Blue Dragon Series Awards,' the mistake he made while announcing the winners led to a confusing situation for Lee Joon-young. Jun Hyun-moo even said during the ceremony, "My pronunciation was inaccurate. I was confused for a moment," and apologized to Lee Joon-young and Lee Joon-hyuk, which led to some fans demanding an official apology from him to support Lee Joon-young.

However, Lee Joon-young himself directly expressed his apology regarding the mishap. At the end of the ceremony, when his work 'When Life Gives You Tangerines' won the grand prize, he went on stage with the group and said, "I sincerely apologize again to senior Joon-hyuk and I love you," and afterward, he also stated on social media, "I made a nonsensical mistake because I couldn't hear well on site. I apologize to senior Joon-hyuk and the fans. Congratulations on the win."

Lee Joon-hyuk also responded via social media, saying, "Thanks to Joon-young, it was fun. Don't worry too much. I made the same mistake during the AAA too. It seems like fate. Let's have a meal together next time." In fact, Lee Joon-hyuk had almost gone up on stage during the previous 'AAA' after mistakenly hearing that Lee Joon-young had been called.

For that reason, Lee Joon-young even emphasized, "Thanks to the kind-hearted hyung, I think I can sleep well tonight. I'll get in touch." It appears that the cute mistake made by Lee Joon-young is turning from a funny incident into a controversy due to some harsh criticism from the fandom. In this regard, both Lee Joon-young and Jun Hyun-moo's agencies have maintained silence without issuing any official statements. This suggests a tacit agreement regarding the cute mistake made by the junior actor during the live broadcast.
