Shin Se-kyung posts a photo after winning the “Baeksang Arts Award Best Supporting Actress” amid the commotion… “I sincerely congratulate you” [RE:Star]

[TV Report = Reporter Choi Min-jun] Actress Shin Se-kyung showed unwavering composure even amid controversy surrounding her after winning at the Baeksang Arts Awards.

On the 12th, Shin Se-kyung posted a photo on her account with the brief message, "Thank you." The photo showed a congratulatory bouquet sent by a fashion brand that had worked with her as an ambassador from 2023 to 2025. The card attached to the bouquet read, 'Actress Se-kyung, congratulations sincerely on winning the Best Supporting Actress Award at the Baeksang Arts Awards. We will continue to cheer on your brilliant journey ahead.'

Previously, Shin Se-kyung won the Best Supporting Actress award in the film category for the movie 'Humint' at the 62nd Baeksang Arts Awards held on the 8th. She achieved this by beating nominees such as Shin Hyun-bin, Yeom Hye-ran, and Jeon Mi-do. However, right after the awards ceremony, she was drawn into unwanted controversy when a fellow actor's acceptance speech became an issue.

It was because veteran actor Lee Sung-min, who had hoped that an actor from the same work would win, said during his speech, "I even cursed inwardly because Hye-ran didn't get it." The remark led to criticism that it lacked consideration for Shin Se-kyung, who had fairly taken home the trophy, and sparked debate online.

Regarding Lee Sung-min's remark, netizens split between defending it as "a joke born of camaraderie" and criticizing it as "a rude attitude that belittled a junior's award on a public stage." As the controversy intensified, director Park Chan-wook and Yeom Hye-ran tried to calm the atmosphere at the venue, but Shin Se-kyung's fans expressed regret that the moment that should have been celebrated in full had been dimmed.

Even in this situation, Shin Se-kyung chose to quietly respond to the surrounding congratulations rather than take any special action. As a YouTuber with 1.48 million subscribers and an actress with more than 20 years since her debut, the composed attitude she showed drew support from fans.

Born in 1990 and now 35 years old, Shin Se-kyung once again proved her acting skills through this award and has entered a new peak as an actress. Attention is now focused on her future steps as she set aside the controversy and expressed gratitude to fans and the precious connections in her life.
