Yim Siwan returned empty-handed from the 4th Blue Dragon Series Awards.
The 4th Blue Dragon Series Awards were broadcast live, creating a variety of scenes intertwined with the joy and disappointment of the winners, along with the unique unexpected situations of live broadcasts. In particular, there were mixed reactions to the fact that the great actor Yim Siwan returned empty-handed.
On the 18th, the opening stage arranged by Yim Siwan on the live broadcast of the 4th Blue Dragon Series Awards caught attention.
On this day, the opening was beautifully decorated by Yim Siwan. The performance, which began with a loaded joke saying, "You should be cautious with your acceptance speech; otherwise, you might actually come on stage," was truly a one-man show by Yim Siwan. The stage transitioned into a "Squid Game" atmosphere, following U-KISS's "Manmanhani," videos of Girls' Generation, and past videos of Yim Siwan's dancing. Yim Siwan followed Yim Siwan's dance, turning the venue into a sea of laughter.
Yim Siwan bowed his head in embarrassment, while Yim Siwan jokingly gestured, "I will call you." Jun Hyun-moo praised, "Yim Siwan, that was an unprecedented opening," and Yim Siwan remarked, "I criticize myself for my slip of the tongue. I thank the production team for entrusting me with a solo stage," adding, "Above all, I apologize to Seohyun Jin, Lee Jun-young, Im Yoon-ah, and my senior Yim Siwan. I hope you will look at me kindly."
However, Yim Siwan, who stood out on stage that day, did not make it onto the list of winners. Given that he gained global attention with "Squid Game," the empty-handed return was unexpected, leading to reactions like, "Wasn't he just used for the performance?" while another sentiment acknowledged, "The competition was too fierce."
Meanwhile, the awards ceremony concluded, producing the following winners.
