Actor Kim Soo-hyun on Tuesday wowed the crowd in the 50th Baeksang Awards by saying “Cheon Song-yi, I love you” to actress Jun Ji-hyun who starred alongside him in “My Love from the Star.”

At the end of his gratitude speech, Kim jokingly said, “Last but not least, Ms. Cheon Song-yi, I love you.” 



The Korean heartthrob was awarded three honors at the awarding ceremony: the best rookie award, the most popular film actor’s award for “Secretly, Greatly,” and the most popular television actor’s award for “My Love from the Star.”

Prior to throwing in the witty surprise, Kim attributed the awards to his film crews, fellow actors and the audience.

“Thank you. First of all I would like to thank Mr. Jang Tae-yoo, Park Ji-yoon, the staff and production teams who worked so hard in the cold. I would also like to thank the audience of ‘My Love from the Star’ and their love for the character Do Min-joon.”
