Actor Lee Jun-young apologized to Lee Jun-hyuk for mistakenly going on stage at the awards ceremony after mishearing his name.
On the 18th, Lee Jun-young attended the 4th Cheongryong Series Awards held at Paradise City in Incheon, where he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for Netflix's "Weak Hero Class 2."
Lee Jun-young went on stage to receive the Popularity Award and accepted the trophy. However, he soon realized that the actual winner was Lee Jun-hyuk, whose name is similar to his.
After recognizing his mistake, Lee Jun-young immediately got off the stage, apologized to Lee Jun-hyuk, and handed over the trophy. He later posted on his SNS, "I couldn't hear well on site and made a ridiculous mistake," and added, "I sincerely apologize to senior Lee Jun-hyuk and his fans. Congratulations on your win."
In response, Lee Jun-hyuk wrote on SNS, "Jun-young, thanks to you, it was fun. Don't worry too much, I made the same mistake at AAA too. It feels like fate. Let's have a meal together next time," creating a warm atmosphere.
It turned out that Lee Jun-hyuk also had a similar experience at the '2023 Asia Artist Awards,' where he mistook Lee Jun-young's name for his own.
Lee Jun-young replied to Lee Jun-hyuk, "Thanks to your big heart, I think I can sleep well tonight. I'll contact you, hyung," catching attention.
The two, with similar names, laughed off the incident at the Cheongryong Awards and hinted at a 'meal promise,' drawing interest.
