Actor Jo Seung-woo, who caused an escape incident in 2022, mentioned Yoo Jun-sang, who made a mistake in calling out names, while presenting the Best Actor award.
The 9th Korea Musical Awards took place on the evening of the 13th at the Universal Art Center in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul. Musical actor Lee Geon-myung, who has been with the Korea Musical Awards since the first event, served as the MC, and The M.C Orchestra joined again this year.
Jo Seung-woo and Jeong Seon-ah, who won the Best Actor and Actress awards last year, took the stage as presenters for the Best Actor award. Jo Seung-woo referred to Yoo Jun-sang, who had previously made a mistake in announcing the name of the female rookie award winner Jeon Ha-young instead of the male rookie award winner Melomance's Kim Min-seok, saying, "I should have given a solid tip to senior Yoo Jun-sang. I wish he had checked properly like during the Jo Seung-woo escape incident; it was very strong this year."
Actor Jo Seung-woo surprised everyone by disappearing during the presentation of the Rookie Award at the 6th Korea Musical Awards held in 2022. After opening the list of winners, he suddenly showed signs of confusion and disappeared off-camera, causing laughter. The reason Jo Seung-woo was flustered while checking the list of winners was that there were four male rookie award winners. The male rookie award was jointly awarded to child actor Kim Si-hoon, Lee Woo-jin, Jeon Gang-hyuk, and Joo Hyun-jun, who played Billy in 'Billy Elliot.'
The 9th Korea Musical Awards is a musical awards ceremony hosted by the Korea Musical Association and sponsored by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Arts Council. It analyzes and evaluates the trends of the musical market over the year and selects the award winners through fair voting by expert and audience panels.
