Lee Min Ho was awarded as the Top Excellence Award for his role as Choi Young on Faith. And I think Lee Min Ho is so similar to Andy Lau with his new haircut

I do not know why, but I really feel the sadness in Lee Min Ho's face. But I also feel how close Lee Min Ho with all the people involved in his drama.

Yoo Chun at SBS Drama Awards 2012


Meanwhile, Yoo Chun also awarded as the Male Excellence Award for drama Rooftop Prince. This is his speech when Yoo Chun received the award for Male Excellence Award.

Quite thrilled to hear Yoo Chun dedicate this award to his father, because as you know his dad died when Yoo Chun early drama Rooftop Prince premiered.

If I'm not wrong, because the tight schedule of filming, then Yoo Chun can only mourn less than a week.

 





And  quite astonishing, I just found out that apparently Park Se Young was also present at the show KBS Drama Awards were held on the same day, because the drama School 2013 also nominated drama KBS Drama Awards 2012.

SBS Drama Awards 2012



Yoo Chun at SBS Drama Awards 2012

In the SBS Drama Awards, Yoo Chun received 4 awards namely Male Excellence Award, Best Couple Award, Popularity Award and Top 10 Stars Award.
Looks like this is very surprising for Yoo Chun. Just look at the expression of shock. Looks like he was chatting with another when his name was called first for the Top 10 Stars Awards. Because he had not been achieved in all categories?
