The Newcomer Award went to both EXO’s D.O and Girls’ Generation’s YoonA. D.O said when he accepted his award, “I’ll continue to experience things and try hard so that I can show you good performances as an actor.”

YoonA was unfortunately unable to attend, but her “Confidential Assignment” director Kim Sung Hoon accepted the award on her behalf.

Yoo In Young, who received a Popularity Award that evening, said, “I was happy and had a good time while filming ‘Misbehaviour,’ and I think I’ve been given this award because people enjoyed seeing that side of me. I’ll keep working hard in the future.” Fellow winners Ahn Jae Hong and 2PM’s Taecyeon were unable to attend.

Jang Hyuk of OCN drama “Voice” won the Drama Star Award. He stated, “I’ll take this as telling me I should work hard, and work even harder.”
