On the evening of July 18, at the 4th Blue Dragon Series Awards held in Incheon (Korea), actors Park Bo Gum, IU, Hyeri and Lee Joon Hyuk were honored as the winners of the "Most Favorite Star" category.
However, an unexpected incident occurred during the awards ceremony. When MC Jun Hyun Moo called Lee Joon Hyuk's name, actor Lee Jun Young went on stage to receive the trophy.
Initially, Lee Joon Hyuk, hearing his name, also intended to go on stage, but when he saw Lee Jun Young going ahead, he appeared confused and stepped back.
After Lee Jun Young even held the trophy in his hand, MC Jun Hyun Moo hastily corrected: Its not Lee Jun Young, its Lee Joon Hyuk.
Realizing that he had misheard it, Lee Jun Young quickly stepped down to the stage, gave the trophy to Lee Joon Hyuk and bowed his head to apologize. Returning to his seat, Lee Jun Young still smiled shyly, hugging his face in front of the camera because of the embarrassing situation.
MC Jun Hyun Moo also admitted his mistake, making the atmosphere in the hall cheerful. He said: Lee Jun Young is also a very popular star. This year alone, the award went to Lee Joon Hyuk. I did not express it clearly, sorry to everyone.
When speaking, Lee Joon Hyuk shared: I often tell people that I am a funny person, and today was a funny moment. I used to think that if I received the award, it would be great if I had an interesting moment, and tonight is very happy. Thank you very much".
After the awards ceremony, Lee Jun Young posted an apology on his personal page: "I heard unclearly and made a silly mistake. I apologize to veteran Lee Joon Hyuk and his fans once again. Congratulations on receiving the award.
Lee Joon Hyuk also responded happily: Jun Young, thanks to you, today was very interesting. Don't worry, I made the same mistake at AAA. Maybe this is fate, let's eat together next time!".
Lee Jun Young once again thanked his senior: "Thanks to your generous heart, I can sleep tonight. I will contact you.
In addition, artist Shin Dong Yup revealed that Lee Jun Young personally went to meet Lee Joon Hyuk and apologized after the incident.
At this year's Blue Dragon Television Awards, Lee Jun Young was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the drama "Weak Hero Class 2". However, the final winner was Lee Kwang Soo for his role in the movie Karma.
Meanwhile, Lee Joon Hyuk was in the category for Best Actor nomination for the film Dongjae, The Good or the Bastard. But the winner of this category was Joo Ji Hoon with the film The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call.
