Blue Dragon Series Awards 2023
The 2nd edition of the prestigious Blue Dragon Series Awards took place on July 19, 2023, at Incheon's Paradise City. The ceremony celebrated excellence in the Korean streaming industry and was a star-studded event with notable attendees like Park Ji-hoon, Kwon Eun-bin, EXO's D.O, Suzy, ASTRO's Cha Eun-woo, and many others gracing the red carpet.
The biggest winner of the night and recipient of the highly coveted Daesang (Grand Prize) was Song Hye-kyo, who received the award for her outstanding performance in the viral hit series 'The Glory.' The drama 'The Glory' achieved significant recognition, and its lead actresses, Song Hye-kyo and Lim Ji-yeon, were both honored with awards, with Lim Ji-yeon winning the Best Supporting Actress category.
Among the dramas that shined at the awards, 'Weak Hero Class 1,' 'The Glory,' and 'Big Bet' received the highest number of awards, each earning two accolades. Park Ji-hoon's impressive performance in 'Weak Hero Class 1' earned him the Best Rookie Actor award, further adding to the drama's popularity.
The Blue Dragon Series Awards were a significant milestone in the South Korean entertainment industry, as they marked the first awards ceremony dedicated specifically to streaming content. The event is an extension of the renowned Blue Dragon Film Awards, emphasizing the growing importance of streaming platforms and their contributions to the entertainment landscape.
With the increasing quality of content on streaming services, Sports Chosun, the organization behind the awards, aimed to recognize excellence solely based on content from Over-The-Top (OTT) platforms. The awards were divided into two categories, Drama and Variety, acknowledging exceptional achievements in both genres.
The event saw heartfelt moments, such as Song Hye-kyo's emotional acceptance speech for her Daesang win, which earned her a standing ovation from the audience. Additionally, 'Big Bet' was honored with the Best Drama award, while 'Siren: Survive the Island' received recognition as the Best Variety Show. The veteran comedian and TV personality, Yoo Jae-suk, was also acknowledged, winning the Best Male Entertainer award.
Furthermore, Joo Hyun-young, who previously won the Best Female Rookie Entertainer award last year for her role in SNL Korea, rose to new heights and secured the Best Female Entertainer award for the same show this year, showcasing her remarkable talent and growth in the industry.
The Blue Dragon Series Awards have become highly anticipated in the entertainment world due to their connection to the prestigious Blue Dragon Film Awards and their focus on acknowledging the excellence and impact of streaming content in South Korea.
