Yeom Hye-ran walked away with the Best Supporting Female Actor (Broadcast) award. Meanwhile, the Netflix content team triumphantly claimed victory in one category. Amidst calls overflowing from abroad recognizing the quality of Korean content, their success was a shared achievement with the entire Netflix Korea team.
Several veteran and emerging stars received accolades, including Ju Ji Hoon, Kim Tae Ri, Jo Jung Suk, and Jeon Do Yeon. Producer Yun Hyun-joon, CEO of Studio Slam, treasured the growing momentum of K-content and the numerous collaborations making it happen.
