The stars were seated at intervals to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Shin Dong-yup was "surprised to see him sitting on stage."
"We have to start more exciting than any other festival, but we have not been able to join with many Audiences," he said, referring to COVID-19 as a reason for the star's sitting at intervals and the lack of interest.
"I think that the viewers will applaud the shout in the room," Bae Suzy said. "I would like to give a bigger applause to the stars here."
The Baeksang Arts Awards are the only comprehensive arts awards ceremony in Korea that includes tv and movies. It started in 1965 and will be awarded the Grand Prize in tv, entertainment and cultural programs, and the Film Award and Director Award.
