Son Ye-jin Dazzles in Backless Gown After Winning Best Actress at Blue Dragon Awards

Actress Son Ye-jin captivated attention on the red carpet of the 46th Blue Dragon Film Awards with a daring backless gown, reveling in her joy after winning the Best Actress award.

Arriving at the ceremony held on November 19th at KBS Hall in Yeouido, Seoul, Son Ye-jin exuded an elegant presence in a stunning champagne gold evening dress. The halterneck design, adorned with intricate beads and crystals on the bodice, was already eye-catching, but the bold backless detail, connected only by delicate sheer straps, amplified her chic and daring appeal.

The dress flowed into a mermaid silhouette, accentuating Son Ye-jin's graceful figure. The hem, crafted from glitter-embellished tulle, added a touch of romantic flair. Her sleek bob hairstyle and silver earrings, paired with understated makeup, completed a polished and sophisticated look that illuminated the red carpet.

Son Ye-jin received the Best Actress award for her compelling performance as 'Mi-ri' in Director Park Chan-wook's film ‘The Land of Regret’ (translated title). This marks her second Blue Dragon Best Actress win, 17 years after her first in 2008 for ‘My Wife Got Married’. She triumphed over formidable nominees including Song Hye-kyo for ‘The Priests’, Lee Jae-in for ‘High Five’, Lee Hye-young for ‘Pasage of Life’, and Im Yoon-ah for ‘Exit’.

In her acceptance speech, Son Ye-jin expressed her gratitude, stating, "When I first won this award at 27, I mentioned how difficult it was to be an actress. I am grateful to receive this honor again before I turn fifty." She added, "My first dream as an actor was to win the Blue Dragon Best Actress award, and you have made it come true."

Furthermore, she shared her evolving perspective: "Since getting married and becoming a mother, I feel my outlook on the world changing. I want to become a truly good adult and continue to grow into a wonderful actress by your side." She concluded by dedicating the award to "the two men I love so dearly, Kim Tae-pyeong (Hyun Bin) and our baby Kim Woo-jin."

The evening was made even more memorable as her husband, Hyun Bin, also won the Best Actor award for his role in the film ‘Harbin’. This historic moment marked the first time in the 46-year history of the Blue Dragon Awards that a married couple won the lead acting awards in the same year.

Hyun Bin, in his speech, emphasized the historical significance of ‘Harbin’ and expressed his thanks, saying, "I am able to stand here thanks to those who have dedicated themselves to protecting our country." He continued, "I am always grateful to my family who silently support me from behind. My wife, Ye-jin, whose very existence gives me strength, and our son, I love and thank you both so very much."

Prior to their individual awards, the couple also received the Chunghwanlog Popular Star Award with Park Jin-young and Im Yoon-ah, marking a double win for the couple. Director Park Chan-wook’s film ‘The Land of Regret’ was the biggest winner of the night, securing six awards including Best Film, Best Director, and Best Actress.

Netizens reacted with excitement, commenting, "Son Ye-jin looks as stunning as ever! That dress is incredible," "A couple winning awards together, so heartwarming! Congratulations to both of them!" and "Proven acting skills from both. Looking forward to more great work from you."
