Korean actor Kim Soo-hyun gave K-drama fans a delightful and hilarious recreation of his iconic scene from the hit show “Queen of Tears” at an awards show in Seoul on Tuesday.
Key points:
- Kim, 36, briefly recreated his crying scene from tvN’s “Queen of Tears” at the 60th Baeksang Arts Awards, which took place at the Convention and Exhibition Center in Seoul.

The details:
- Kim performed the scene at the request of awards show host Shin Dong-yup. The brief reenactment elicited laughter and applause from the audience.
- Some reports note that Kim’s performance in “Queen of Tears” appeared to be a subtle homage and reference to his co-star, Kim Ji-won, and her cute scenes in the 2017 series “Fight for My Way.” In “Queen of Tears,” Kim Ji-won plays Hyun-woo’s wife, Hong Hae-in.
- Kim, who was nominated at the awards show for Best Leading TV Actor for his role, took home the PRIZM Popularity Award. IVE member Ahn Yujin also received the award, which is given to celebrities receiving the most votes from fans.
