Two actors with similar names… An accident occurred due to a mistake. Actor Lee Joon-young was so embarrassed that he covered his face after making a mistake while accepting an award at the 4th Blue Dragon Awards.
Actor Lee Joon-young’s mistake while accepting an award became a hot topic. He went up to the awards ceremony stage thinking he had won the award, but the real winner was another actor with a similar name. It was an unfortunate accident that occurred due to a mistake.
On the afternoon of the 18th, at the 4th Blue Dragon Awards held at Paradise City in Incheon, actor Lee Joon-hyuk was announced as the winner of the Upbit Award for Popular Star. However, Lee Joon-young, who was attending the ceremony with him, mistook his name for his and went up to the stage to accept the award, causing an accident.
Lee Joon-young immediately realized his mistake and panicked. He descended from the awards ceremony stage to personally hand over the award to the winner, Lee Joon-hyuk.
The host, Jun Hyun Moo, explained the situation, saying, “Lee Joon Young is a popular star, but this year, Lee Joon Hyuk was the standout. I had to pronounce it correctly.” Shin Dong Yeop, who presented the award, said, “During the break, Lee Joon Young went up to Lee Joon Hyuk and apologized again. It was a touching scene.”
Lee Joon Young apologized again when his Netflix series “Bok Sak Sa Soda” won the grand prize at the 4th Blue Dragon Series Awards. He appeared on stage again as a cast member, saying, “In my life, there are days when I touch the Blue Dragon Cup twice a day,” and, “I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to my senior, Lee Joon Hyuk. I love you.”
Lee Joon Young posted on Instagram after the awards ceremony that day, saying, “I couldn’t hear well at the scene and made a huge mistake. I apologize again to my senior, Lee Joon Hyuk, and his fans. Congratulations on receiving the award.” Lee Joon-hyuk also posted on Instagram, saying, “It was fun thanks to Joon-young. Don’t worry too much, I made the same mistake at AAA. I think it was fate. Let’s have a meal together next time.”
In response, Lee Joon-young posted on Instagram again, saying, “Thanks to your generous hyung, I think I’ll be able to sleep well tonight. I’ll contact you, hyung.”
