On the 19th, Lee Sungkyung won the Best New Actress Award for the musical 'Aladdin' at the 10th Korea Musical Awards.
Stepping onto the stage in tears, she began her speech by saying, "I'm musical actress Lee Sungkyung." She continued, "This is something I’ve dreamed of for about 16 years. Because I love musicals so much, the more I dreamed, the more I felt this was a precious stage I didn't dare stand on, so I kept putting it off. Being able to stand on such an overwhelming stage through 'Aladdin' was an incredible stroke of luck. It has been the happiest year of my life."
She added, “I was able to do this thanks to the beloved 'Aladdin' team. So many people gave me love. I was able to grow well by feeding on that love. I want to say I love you and thank you to the audience, my fans, my family, and my friends as well. I will work harder and more humbly to become an actress who brings happiness to you all.”
The musical 'Aladdin' follows the journey and romance of Aladdin in the mysterious kingdom of Agrabah. Lee Sungkyung played the role of Jasmine. Despite it being her first musical challenge, she filled the stage with her charming acting and strong vocal skills.
Furthermore, she doubled the character's charm with her captivating visuals, completing her own unique version of Jasmine. She received overwhelming love from the audience, even earning the nickname 'Beulsmine,' marking a brilliant start to her career as a musical actress.
Proving her talent, this is the second 'Rookie of the Year' award she has ever received following her first at the 2015 MBC Drama Awards. As she sweeps newcomer awards across different genres, attention is now focused on her future activities.
Having perfectly established herself as an all-rounder artist, Lee Sungkyung’s next project is MBC’s new Friday-Saturday drama 'In Your Radiant Season.' This drama follows the story of an unpredictable romance between Chan (played by Chae Jonghyeop), a cheerful man, and Ran (played by Lee Sungkyung), a woman who has shut herself off from the world. Lee Sungkyung will play as Song Haran, the chief designer of Korea’s top high-end fashion house, Nana Atelier. 'In Your Radiant Season' will start airing on February 20 at 9.50 PM (KST).
