Mokdong = Reporter Song Jeong-heon songs@sportschosun. 14/ [Sportschosun Reporter Jo Ji-young] "To the 23-year-old Yoon Kyung-ho, who was barely getting by day to day as an extra, I want to say, 'You held on well, Kyung-ho. '" Looking back on the years he spent struggling with nothing but acting in his sights, actor Yoon Kyung-ho, 46, patted himself on the shoulder for the first and last time. He then shed hot tears as he thought of the family that believed in him until the end, the colleagues who sweated beside him on sweltering days, and the public that sent him endless love. That is why Yoon Kyung-ho's present, celebrated by everyone together, feels more precious and radiant than ever. At the 5th Blue Dragon Series Awards on July 31, Yoon Kyung-ho won his first-ever Blue Dragon Best Supporting Actor Award, 27 years after his debut in 1999. In The Legend of Kitchen Soldier, the B-movie-style comedy that sparked a "Chuiral" craze, Yoon played Sergeant Park Jae-young, an administrative supply officer who trusts experience over rules and instinct over procedure. Like pickled radish with jajangmyeon, he proved to be an indispensable scene-stealer throughout the work and rose as one of Korea's finest actors. For an actor who lifts the entire production rather than standing out alone, this Best Supporting Actor Award at the Blue Dragon Series Awards may have been a fitting result. As the final interviewee of the award-winner series, Yoon Kyung-ho visited Sportschosun despite his busy schedule and looked back on the dreamlike night of the Blue Dragon Series Awards with his trademark cheerfulness and candid stories he had kept deep inside. Yoon said, "I have a routine when I wake up in the morning. I write my name in Chinese characters to steady my mind, but for a week after winning, I couldn't do that properly. I had to focus to write each character, but after writing one stroke, I would search my name on a portal site, then write another stroke and check comments on social media.
Congratulatory DMs are still coming in steadily. I'm really sorry I haven't been able to reply to each one. Even just reading the first line of the messages shows how encouraging they are. Messages like that have made each day exciting and grateful. I need to get back to normal life soon, but I've spent a week dazed by all this overwhelming love. " Yoon Kyung-ho, widely known as the nation's beloved "too much talker," is also famous as a devoted husband who tells his wife about his day every time he gets home. Did his endless TMI, which usually begins the moment he opens the front door with, "Honey! Honey! Honey! Today, I.
" continue even after the Blue Dragon Series Awards ended? Yoon explained, "I've been working so much lately and finishing late, so by the time I get home everyone is asleep and I can't do my usual 'Honey! Honey! Honey!' routine. When I do get home early and try to talk, the kids run over first and start telling me their own stories. They talk more than I do. So these days, I call my wife before I go home and say what I want to say in advance. I feel like I won't get to say what I want once I'm home, so I do it by phone first. And when I really need to say something, I ask her, 'Don't go to sleep, just wait a little. ' Even at the awards ceremony, it ended late, so I couldn't talk for long.
Right after it ended, I called briefly to say I had won, and then the next day I shared my thoughts about the ceremony. The kids didn't seem very interested in their dad winning. My wife was watching the ceremony live,
'" Yoon Kyung-ho was also sincere about the congratulatory performances at the Blue Dragon Series Awards. In particular, his perfect sing-along to Tiger JK's closing song was captured by the reaction camera and became a hot topic. Yoon said, "I was born in 1980, and for our generation, you can't talk about it without Drunken Tiger. They introduced hip-hop to Korea and opened our eyes. Tiger JK has a history that is cool at every level. His catchy hip-hop rap was so cool that I used to sing along to it all the time when I was young. So when Tiger JK appeared at this year's Blue Dragon Series Awards, I got chills as a fan.
I lost myself in the song and became a successful fan. Kim Min-ha is also a junior I usually get along with very well and like a lot, and when I heard she would be doing the opening stage at this awards show, I wanted to cheer her on and promised her I would sing along from the audience. I looked up Frank Sinatra's classic 'That's Life' on the way to the ceremony after hearing she would sing it, but it was a difficult song I couldn't follow. In the end, I savored the lyrics and sent Kim Min-ha my support with all my heart. During the Migak Boys performance, they felt like family, so I watched nervously. I was worried my younger brothers might make a mistake, but they did so well that I enjoyed the performance with a smile. Choi Ye-na's 'Catch Catch' was great too.
I shouldn't be acting like this as an older guy, but I kept getting hyped up. I had a great time with Sang-yi.

Yoon said, "Last year, I was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the 4th Blue Dragon Series Awards through The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call. If you ask whether I was desperate then, I can honestly say yes. Deep down,
' I remember greeting people more brightly and making more eye contact with fans from the moment I stepped onto the red carpet so I wouldn't look nervous. " He added, "I was so happy that my favorite younger brother
' Receiving the award card with my name on it made me emotional again. I thanked him and said, 'Kwang-soo, how are you so thoughtful?' He looked so cool and classy doing that too. I thought maybe that was the composure of a previous year's winner. I think I'll never forget Kwang-soo's smile and calmness when he gave me that gift. He'll be attending as a presenter at next year's 6th Blue Dragon Series Awards, and I promised myself that I would give the winner an award card as a gift then too. " On the possibility of trying again as a nominee next year, he said, "Of course, if I won two years in a row, what could be more moving than that? I like imagining things, so I might run a simulation in my head by myself. But this year and next year too, there will be many strong nominees.
This year was so competitive that I had absolutely no expectation of winning. This year, I thought Lee Sang-yi, who appeared especially often in The Legend of Kitchen Soldier, was the one who truly deserved the award. I went to the ceremony wanting to congratulate Sang-yi, and I also told myself that if the camera caught me, I shouldn't look disappointed. My wife said that last year, when my name wasn't called, I showed a little disappointment. After hearing her criticism, I realized I had been arrogant, so this year I prepared myself properly. After last year's loss, I learned not to get ahead of myself. Because of that experience, I couldn't even prepare my acceptance speech in advance this year, and when I actually won, I couldn't properly deliver my thanks either.
I couldn't mention everyone I wanted to thank in my speech, so I posted my feelings on my personal account instead. I heard I wrote 2,144 characters. Someone even counted them all. I couldn't write that post all at once either; I revised it for five hours. " He also spoke about the hot tears he shed when his name was called as the winner. "I'm still too embarrassed to watch it, so I can't even look at the video.
I wanted to see fans' reactions, so I played the clip, but then I saw myself crying and closed it right away. On the other hand, I think that was my most honest emotion. I also want to enjoy moments like this while I can. There may come a day when I want to cry but can't. I want to show that side of myself honestly too, and that is my true feeling. So I didn't force myself to hold back.
Right after it ended, I called briefly to say I had won, and then the next day I shared my thoughts about the ceremony. The kids didn't seem very interested in their dad winning. My wife was watching the ceremony live,
And the tears really did come uncontrollably," he said. "Over the past year or two, I think I've been going through a happy period, receiving a lot of love and attention from many people. This feels like the version of me that is possible only now, and these feel like tears I can only shed now. That's why I also want to show my more honest self. I will keep acting as hard as I can. I am grateful once again for giving this happiness to me and my family.
" He continued, "I spent a week thinking about what this award means. I kept wondering where I should go from here. The 23-year-old extra Yoon Kyung-ho once resolved that 'even if I never win an award in my life, as long as I can make a living through acting, that would be true happiness. ' But after winning at the Blue Dragon Series Awards, I wanted to tell that 23-year-old Yoon Kyung-ho, who held on with that resolve, 'You did well. '" He broke into tears again. He added, "The reason I could receive such an honor is because of everyone's hard work.
I had great chemistry with the colleagues I worked with, there was the blood, sweat, and tears of the staff, and the audience's love was added to create this lucky result. In fact, there are many actors who still have not won awards but deliver outstanding performances. When I watch them act, I see how lacking I still am. So how heavy must it be for someone like me to receive an award? Winning is not all good. It makes me reflect more on my acting now and strengthens my resolve to work even harder in the future. The Yoon Kyung-ho who won Best Supporting Actor at the Blue Dragon Series Awards is now a thing of yesterday, and today I must live again as actor Yoon Kyung-ho.
Actor Yoon Kyung-ho, who won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 5th Blue Dragon Series Awards, was interviewed at the Sportschosun headquarters in Mokdong.
I want to keep running hard as an actor who brings comfort and laughter to many people and sincerely shows the stories of our lives. " Finally, Yoon Kyung-ho said, "It may sound a little odd and not very stylish, but winning Best Supporting Actor at the Blue Dragon Series Awards feels like I received a huge loan. As an actor, it feels like I borrowed in advance the recognition I need to show the public. I don't know when the maturity date will come, but at the very least, I will work hard to repay this award through my acting so it won't be embarrassing. I will feel responsible, cherish it, and repay this acting loan faithfully and with gratitude. " Reporter Jo Ji-young soulhn1220@sportschosun.com
