Shin Dong-yeop, Suzy, and Park Bo-gum will once again take the stage together at the 'Baeksang Arts Awards' this year.
The three will serve as MCs for the '61st Baeksang Arts Awards with Gucci' to be held on May 5 at 8 PM at COEX D Hall in Gangnam, Seoul, showcasing their exceptional hosting skills to lead the awards ceremony. This will be their seventh time hosting together. This year, it is expected to be a particularly special Baeksang Arts Awards for all three MCs.
Shin Dong-yeop will hold the Baeksang MC microphone for the eleventh time. He has served as an MC from the 50th to the 52nd awards and has maintained his position as an MC for eight consecutive years from the 54th to this year's 61st awards, proving his status as a veteran. As a representative MC of South Korea, he plays a significant role in setting the overall atmosphere of the awards ceremony with his eloquent speech. He has created many memorable moments, and this year, he is also nominated for the Best Male Variety Award, aiming for his third trophy after winning at the 30th and 50th awards.
Suzy, known as the 'icon of Baeksang', celebrates a monumental year as it marks the 10th anniversary of her being an MC for the Baeksang. She is the first among all past Baeksang MCs to reach this milestone without missing a single year.
Having won the Rookie Acting Awards in both TV and film categories, Suzy first connected with Baeksang in 2016 during the 52nd awards and has been with Baeksang for ten years. This has been a time of mutual growth for both Suzy and Baeksang. This year, Suzy will once again open the Baeksang with her smooth hosting and the anticipation of her stunning dress, marking the return of the season of Baeksang.
Park Bo-gum, who brings warmth and comfort just by being present, will be hosting the Baeksang for the seventh time this year. After his first appearance at the 54th awards and showcasing his remarkable MC qualities until the 56th, he briefly stepped away for military service during the 57th awards but returned to the stage for the 58th awards as his first schedule after discharge, demonstrating his loyalty. He has been the face of Baeksang, showcasing perfect hosting abilities for four consecutive years. Coincidentally, in the year of lucky seven, Park Bo-gum also experienced the joy of being nominated for the Best Male Performance in a Drama category for Netflix's 'Diva on the Road'. As both an MC and a nominee, attention is drawn to what kind of appearance Park Bo-gum will make this year.
Previously, the '61st Baeksang Arts Awards with Gucci' announced its nominees by category through the official Baeksang Arts Awards website and social media on the 7th. The Italian luxury brand Gucci has participated as a partner for three consecutive years, and the event will be broadcast live simultaneously on JTBC, JTBC2, and JTBC4.
