Chapter 183:
Chapter 183
The male supporting actor was
-AhIan got an award
-He cant get the lead role if he gets the popularity award
-Theres not much difference between him and Jo Min-hwan, right? Does he have few fans?
As he watched the live broadcast and listened to Jo Min-hwans acceptance speech, Ian cherished the trophy in his hands.
Come to think of it, this is the first trophy with my name on it.
He had received many trophies as a group, but this was the first time he had received one as an individual, both in his previous and current life. Ian ran his hand over his name engraved on the trophy.
Next, please give us your acceptance speech, Mr. Choi Ian.
After Jo Min-hwan finished his speech, Ian stepped up to the microphone.
Uh, first of all, I would like to thank everyone who voted for me, and the staff of our agency, the manager hyungs, and our Awi members. Thank you.
The popularity award didnt have much time for an acceptance speech. Ian left a brief speech and stood side by side with Jo Min-hwan as they walked down the stage. Jo Min-hwan patted Ians back.
Congratulations, we can take a picture together later.
You too, hyung. You have to get the lead role.CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m
Me? Nah, Im not ready yet.
Jo Min-hwan waved his hand and denied it. But his high cheekbones betrayed his anticipation for the award.
The smooth touch of the trophy made him feel good. He handed the trophy to a staff member and passed by the writer, director, and actors of Miss Hee-bin who congratulated him briefly. He sat down in his seat.
Yeah, lets be satisfied with this.
[Hey, youre going to get the supporting actor award, right?]
Jin kept blowing wind in his ear. He was afraid that he would be disappointed if he didnt get it later, so Ian tried to calm himself down.
The award ceremony for the TV entertainment category ended, and a congratulatory performance began. These performances usually featured popular idols, but since there was a controversy over the actors lack of response to the idol stages, the Yu-sang side planned a new stage.
Next, we have a congratulatory performance. Please look forward to the transformation of the child actors.
It was a joint performance by the child actors. A child actor who had just entered kindergarten held a microphone bigger than his head and stood on the stage. The actors and the audience responded warmly.
Aw, how cute.
Hes good at acting and has a pretty voice.
The other child actors also gathered in the center of the stage. They sang in a clumsy but earnest way.
This is better.
Ian also focused on the stage and didnt skimp on his response.
After the heartwarming scene ended, there was a few seconds of silence before the next award presenter walked to the center of the stage.

The 59th Yu-sang Art Awards, TV category, Best Screenplay, writer Yoon Mi-sook of Miss Hee-bin, congratulations.
The 59th Yu-sang Art Awards, TV category, Best Director, director Park Pyo-hyun of Miss Hee-bin, congratulations.
After that, Miss Hee-bin received trophies one after another. Writer Yoon and director Park smiled brightly and gave their acceptance speeches, and they both mentioned Ians name without fail.
And our actor Ian, please join us for the next project.
This is awkward.
Ian felt the hot gaze of Andong-jae, who was sitting next to him, but he ignored it.
[Isnt there going to be a controversy over favoritism?]
Whatever.
He had seen enough of the medias criticism lately. Ian habitually looked at the screen that showed him.
[Stop looking at the camera. Youre the only one making eye contact with the camera here.]
What can I do? Its a habit.
When idols performed on stage, eye contact with the camera was vital, and this was a habit that had been ingrained since he was a trainee.
When Ian made eye contact with the camera, the audiences response was unusually strong, and perhaps because of that, the camera director showed Ian a lot.
-Isnt Ian on a lot today?
-The camera director is working hard
-Hes going to get the supporting actor award next
Finally, the moment Ian had been waiting for came. The award for the best new actor was over, and the actor who had received the best supporting actor award last year came up as the presenter.
As soon as she finished speaking, his phone in his jacket pocket vibrated non-stop. It was the contact from the members and acquaintances who heard the news of Ians award.
I should have turned it to silent.
He thought so, but the constant vibration didnt bother him. Rather, he felt good.
The 59th Yu Sang Arts Awards, TV category grand prize.
Congratulations to Heebin Jangs Family.
The audience cheered as all the actors of Heebin Jangs Family, including Ian, stood up and congratulated each other.
[Lucky bastard]
Jin floated in the air and stared at Ian.

After all the awards for the TV and movie categories were over, the broadcast of the Yu Sang Arts Awards ended.
As the people in the hall left, the winners came to the front of the stage to take a group photo.
Ian also received his award from the staff and headed to the stairs set up in the center of the stage for the group photo.
Like Ian, Jo Min Hwan, who was holding two trophies, tapped Ians shoulder.
Congratulations, Ian.
Hyung, too, its your first lead actor award, right?
Hey, why are these trophies so heavy?
The trophies werent that heavy. He probably meant that his heart was heavy.
Jo Min Hwan achieved 10 million viewers with the movie There is No Future, and won his first lead actor award. In the near future, he would achieve another 10 million movie.
Feeling like he was flying after winning the award, Ian decided to spoil Jo Min Hwans life.
Why? I think there will be another good thing later.
Really? We should trust our shamans words.
Did Joo-young say that?
Yeah, you said he was a crab, right? Jin-hyuk is clueless
How close did Kim Joo-young get with the cast of Rural Life? He spilled the TMI about the members in just one day.
Hes crazy too.
Ian slightly shook his head.
As the winners were scrambling on the stage, the photographer prepared by the award ceremony shouted loudly.
Lets take a picture!
As he tried to find his place, Ian paused and looked around.
This is awkward.
No one wanted to stand next to Ian. They felt like they would be compared if they stood next to him. Not only the male actors, but even the female actors were trying hard not to stand next to Ian.
Min-hwan hyung! Even you!
Jo Min-hwan, who had said he could take a picture with him later, ignored Ians desperate gaze. Ian had no choice but to stand at the back and smile brightly with the trophy.
When he checked the photo later, there was a clear empty space on both sides of Ian, as if someone had instructed it.
-Art Award The Miracle of Moses Fancam
No one wants to stand next to Choi Ian
I wouldnt stand next to him either
Wow, look at his small face
-Now theres a real-time celebration on Bluebird
#First_Idol_To_Win_Art_Award
#Shining_Ian_We_Support_Your_Actor_Path
The fans were in a festive mood when he unexpectedly won the supporting actor award.
On the other hand, he also received the intense interest of the haters who were jealous of his success.
-Huh? Is Choi Ian worthy of winning a supporting award?
-The Art Award is less prestigious than the Baekho Film Award The Art Award is for losers
-There were no masterpieces because of Corona, he just got lucky
-When he was rising, where were you? Now youre trying to bash him
-Yeah, you cant win an award~ He got a huge advantage from his acting history~
