"Lee Joon-young, Lee Joon-hyuk." The two actors who need to pay attention to the announcement created a more memorable scene at the 4th Blue Dragon Series Awards than the award itself.
A mishap occurred at the 4th Blue Dragon Series Awards held on 18th at Incheon PARADISE CITY. As multiple recipients were being announced for the Popular Star Award, 'Lee Joon-hyuk' was called, but 'Lee Joon-young' mistakenly thought his name was called and went up on stage. After realizing the situation, Lee Joon-young quickly came down from the stage and warmly embraced Lee Joon-hyuk, concluding the situation pleasantly.
However, the cute mishap of junior actor Lee Joon-young continued to be talked about at the calm star-studded event. Host Jun Hyun-moo noted, "The pronunciation was inaccurate. I was confused at the moment as well," and he apologized while feeling embarrassed. Veteran entertainer Shin Dong-yup, who was in the audience as a nominee for the entertainment category, commented, "I have hosted awards ceremonies for over 30 years, but today was the most fun," praising Lee Joon-young instead.
As the award ceremony was being broadcast live on KBS 2TV, during the advertisements, Lee Joon-young personally apologized to Lee Joon-hyuk. Shin Dong-yup added, "Lee Kwang-soo was coming up to Lee Joon-young, who was also a nominee for Best Supporting Actor, saying 'I'm sorry,' and during his acceptance speech, he mentioned that his nephew's name was also Joon-hyuk; how nice would it have been if his nephew's name was 'Joon-young'?" making everyone laugh once again.
Ultimately, Lee Joon-young took responsibility for the matter. At the end of the ceremony, as his work 'When Life Gives You Tangerines' won the grand prize and they went on stage as a group, he said, "I apologize again to you, Senior Joon-hyuk, and I love you," which made everyone burst into laughter. After the ceremony, he apologized once more through his personal social media, stating, "I couldn't hear well on site and made a ridiculous mistake. I apologize to Senior Joon-hyuk and the fans. Congratulations on the award!"
Lee Joon-hyuk responded to this. "Thanks to you, Joon-young, it was fun. Don't worry too much. I made the same mistake at the AAA too. It seems like fate. Let's have a meal together next time," he said, offering a touching moment. In fact, Lee Joon-hyuk also almost went up on stage at the earlier-held AAA, mistakenly hearing that Lee Joon-young was called instead of himself. Lee Joon-young emphasized once again, "Thanks to your big-heartedness, I think I will be able to sleep well tonight. I will contact you."
Actually, Lee Joon-hyuk and Lee Joon-young are known among fans as 'introverts.' They are categorized as 'entp' during MBTI tests. Their appearances in interviews and official events were not different from fans' perceptions. Thus, the closeness between Lee Joon-young and Lee Joon-hyuk is warming people's hearts even more, with their considerate interactions preventing the 'blanket kick' and the cute mishap drawing attention as a delightful incident.
