On November 30, a post surfaced on various online platforms, including Theqoo, highlighting the Blue Dragon Film Awards with the hashtags #BlueDragon’sSincerity and #JungWooSung’sSincerity. The post featured a screenshot from a video shared by the official Instagram account of the event, where Jung Woo-sung publicly addressed a scandal during the awards ceremony held on November 29.

Details of Jung Woo-sung’s Apology

While presenting the Audience Choice Award alongside acclaimed actor Hwang Jung-min, Jung Woo-sung appeared noticeably tense, contrasting with Hwang’s cheerful demeanor.

Prior to announcing the award, Jung addressed the issues surrounding his scandal, stating, “I stand here today with those who worked on ‘12.12: The Day’, hoping my personal matters won’t cast a shadow over the film. I sincerely apologize to those who loved and supported me for the concern and disappointment caused. As a father, I will accept all criticism and take full responsibility.”

Netizen Backlash and Criticism

Despite his heartfelt apology, many netizens criticized Jung for his somber presentation, claiming it disrupted the celebratory atmosphere of the ceremony. Further, the Blue Dragon Film Awards faced scrutiny for allowing him to use the platform for his apology instead of honoring the late actress Kim Soo-mi, leading to comments questioning the spirit and purpose of the event.

Decision to Disable Comments Sparks Further Outrage

In light of the backlash, the organizers of the Blue Dragon Film Awards controversially disabled comments on Jung Woo-sung’s apology video, which only intensified public ire. Users on various platforms expressed their dissatisfaction, with remarks such as: “Do they even know the meaning of sincerity?” , “If you’re sincere, direct it to the child’s mother instead” , and “Why transform a film awards ceremony into a venue for apologies?”

Integrity of the Awards Ceremony Questioned

The juxtaposition of promoting “sincerity” while also censoring comments has left many questioning the integrity of the awards ceremony itself. This incident has highlighted the ongoing debate about accountability in the entertainment industry.
