Okay, this was pure K-Drama energy IRL. At the 5th Blue Dragon Series Awards on July 31 in Incheon, actor couple Jin Seon Kyu and Park Bo Kyung gave us a moment that’s been replayed all over social media—his full-on, tearful reaction when Park Bo Kyung won Best Supporting Actress for The Art of Sarah.
Both arrived as nominees in supporting categories and reportedly became the first married couple to be nominated together at this ceremony. They’d already charmed everyone on the red carpet in coordinated black, but the real heart-melt came when Park Bo Kyung’s name was called.
She froze for a beat, then Jin Seon Kyu—clearly overwhelmed—helped her to her feet and walked her up to the stage while wiping away tears with his sleeve. During her acceptance speech she joked about losing her engagement ring and celebrated their “matching trophy,” declaring, “So, honey, it’s our Day 1 today,” which sent the audience into laughter and had viewers everywhere calling it a scene straight out of a drama.
“Whenever I watched acceptance speeches that were sincere and witty, I would laugh and cry along with them… My husband, Jin Seon Kyu, is more surprised than I am and is crying so much right now… So, honey, it’s our Day 1 today.” — Park Bo Kyung
Why this matters: it wasn’t just a cute moment. Park Bo Kyung began acting in 2003 but stepped away from her career for eight years to raise their children. After returning, she slowly built attention again with scene-stealing roles (including Little Women), and this Blue Dragon Series Award is reportedly her first acting trophy in a 23-year career. Jin Seon Kyu has spoken before about becoming the primary breadwinner while she paused her career—so this win felt especially meaningful for both of them.
Clips of Jin Seon Kyu quietly sobbing and beaming with pride during Park’s speech quickly went viral, with international fans and Korean netizens alike calling the interaction “so K-Drama” and sharing screenshots and reaction videos across platforms.
Small, joyful moments like this are why award shows are still full of surprises—congrats to Park Bo Kyung on her big night, and to Jin Seon Kyu for being the ultimate supportive husband on camera and off.
Quick fan facts: Park debuted in 2003; she took an eight-year break to raise their children; this was her first acting trophy in 23 years; the ceremony was the 5th Blue Dragon Series Awards at Paradise City, Incheon.
