Seo Kang Joon’s Reaction to Award Loss Sparks Widespread Attention
Seo Kang Joon is facing a hilarious moment after the 2025 MBC Drama Awards.
The controversy began during the “Top Excellence Award in a Miniseries” announcement on December 30. Nominees included Jung Kyung Ho (Oh My Ghost Clients), Lee Min Ki (Mary Kills People), Kang Tae Oh (Moon River), and Seo Kang Joon (Undercover High School).
Kang Tae Oh took home the top prize and also scored a “Best Couple” award. But Seo Kang Joon’s reaction caught everyone’s eye — as the winner was announced, he appeared to mumble something like “rats” or “darn it.”
Later on, Seo Kang Joon actually won the Grand Prize for Undercover High School.
Fans found his initial reaction super funny, especially since he and Kang Tae Oh have a long history, including being in the actor-idol group 5urprise. They seem to still be very close.
“LOL this is my first time seeing actors like this. It’s so refreshing and insanely funny”
