Yoo Ah-In's acceptance speech at 2016 Baeksang Arts Awards
[English Translation]Today, watching the Baeksang stage from the start, seating myself next toSong-Song couple (Song Jung-Ki & Song Hye-Gyo), I wanted to go with them together. It is quite embarrassing for me to receive this award. Apart from anything else, 50 episode drama for me… (sudden change in his tone) Yeah, I know my acceptance speeches always cause controversy. (LOL) But, aren’t they funny? (LOL) I don’t know…. 50 episode drama, Sageuk, Six Flying Dragons…. Awww (Sigh) There are so many key words that come to my mind when I’m thinking about last year. I had a lot of worries of my own, but now that I’m thinking about it, they were quite a shame. “Fifty episode drama, it would make me tired. Can I make it?” or “Fifty episodes? Star actors don’t do this kind of long-term drama, do they?” Such worries… honestly, people really said that, not about the drama itself but about the fake stories surrounding the drama. I didn’t want to focus on such fakes, and I felt ashamed of myself who was caring about them. Six Flying Dragons… I’m really proud of it. Including Director Shin Gyeong-Soo, Writers Park Sang-Yeon & Kim Young-Hyeon, working with all the senior-junior actors like Choi Jong-Won (Yi In-Gyeom in SFD), Cheon Ho-Jin (Yi Seong-Gye in SFD)… what I felt is… I begun my acting career 10 years ago, but only Six Flying Dragons, this 50 episode drama, gave me the weird moment that I could witness so many changes and growth in myself just with one drama. Since SFD had six main protagonists, other 5 actors shared the burden and there was no overtime shooting at night. I think it was quite excellent filming environments. Nonetheless, I really felt like I want to die. (LOL) Hmmm… but whenever I received a script book and recited it, it made me really happy. I thought this is the reason why I am an actor. “How could the writers give me this great lines?” “How could they drive me into such a moment?” Such thoughts took me to heaven as well as to hell. I think I should make a living as an actor. A career as an actor sometimes makes me feel so frustrated that I think “Damn, I want to quit this stupid job”. However, at the moment when I start acting, when I’m entering into the atmosphere while the camera is rolling… (Silence for a while) … at the moment when I witness another myself in my own eyes, it gives me a big thrill. I’m happy for being an actor. Thank you all the audiences, TV viewers, for making it possible for me to live as an actor. I’ll do my best. Thank you.
