Beloved Actor’s Heartfelt Acceptance Speech Sparks Agreement He Is One of a Kind

Seo Kang Joon is facing heat after his reactions at the 2025 MBC Drama Awards.

The controversy started when he didn’t win the Top Excellence Award in a Miniseries. Fans noticed his reaction right away.

Soon after, Seo Kang Joon went viral for his speech after winning the Daesang (Grand Prize). His words hit hard and showed a humble side.

“I’m more flustered than happy. This was my first project since returning from military service, and I missed the filming set so much. I’ve spent countless hours in the military and missed this scene so much; I’m taken aback to receive such a meaningful award.

I put a lot of thought into my acting, but when I look around me, I see many people who work harder than I do, and many who are more talented. It makes me wonder why I am here holding this award.

No one knows how long I’ll be in this profession, but I don’t want to be replaced until the day I retire. I will continue to study, think, and act more ardently.”

서강준 대상소감 너무 좋음
본인이 언제나 대체될 수 있다고 생각하지만, 대체되고 싶지 않아서 더 간절하게 연구하고 생각해서 연기하겠다 잘생겼는데 연기도 잘하고 연기에 진심인 남자 어떻게 안좋아함 pic.twitter.com/kh1Bdkgy4q
