Kim Woo-bin smiles at Shin Min-a's appearance as Lee Kwang-soo cheers

Actors Kim Woo-bin and Shin Min-a warmed the atmosphere at the 5th Blue Dragon Series Awards with sweet moments between the couple. When Shin took the stage as the presenter for the Grand Prize, Kim could not take his eyes off her, prompting a witty remark from MC Jun Hyun-moo that drew laughter from the crowd.

Held on July 31 at Incheon Paradise City, the 5th Blue Dragon Series Awards became a hot topic as stars shone as brightly as the award-winning series they represent.

During the event, Kim was nominated for Best Actor for the drama 'Genie, Make a Wish,' while Shin appeared on stage to present the Grand Prize.

The first to react to Shin's appearance was actor Lee Kwang-soo, a close friend of Kim. He boosted the energy of the room by cheering loudly from his seat; seeing the unexpected outburst, Kim laughed sheepishly and lightly tapped Lee on the shoulder.

Though he could not hide his shy expression, Kim could not conceal the warm gaze he directed toward Shin.

Stepping onto the stage, Shin offered her greetings with a hint of nervousness.

“I feel very nervous and honored to be presenting the Grand Prize,” she said. “Perhaps because I am also preparing a new story these days, this place feels particularly special to me,” she added, introducing the upcoming Disney+ series 'The Remarried Empress.'

As the Grand Prize presentation continued, Kim watched Shin from the audience with a constant smile. MC Jun Hyun-moo caught the moment, remarking, “One person is staring quite intensely,” which elicited laughter from the audience.

The screen briefly captured Kim bursting into embarrassed laughter, making the atmosphere at the venue even more lighthearted.

The couple became one of the entertainment industry's most prominent star couples after marrying last December following a long, public relationship. As they continue their respective acting careers, they remain beloved by fans for showing natural support and affection for one another at official events.

At this Blue Dragon Series Awards, what drew more attention than the glamorous red carpet was the warm gaze the two shared. Rather than grand gestures, their simple smiles and glances became one of the most memorable scenes of the ceremony.
