Taiwanese actresses Gaga-yan (柯佳) and Yang Jin-hua (楊謹華) drew attention by delivering a shocking kiss on the Golden Bell Awards stage.
At the 60th Golden Bell Awards ceremony held on the 18th, the two actresses took the stage together as presenters.
The two, who have frequently faced each other in the "best actress" institutional sector, a rivalry narrative had been emphasized and reports suggested an uncomfortable relationship between them. As soon as they stepped on stage, they started a battle of wills. Yang Jin-hua said, "Haven't you already won the award twice right in front of me?" and Gaga-yan provoked, "My two wins both took a long time, but doesn't Ms. Geun-hwa get nominated as if water flows every time?"
Then Yang Jin-hua smoothed her hair and said, "I should be the one to ask. How can the win rate be 100%?" tensions between the two rose. But suddenly they met directly, and the audience filled with cheers.
After the kiss, Yang Jin-hua joked, "To be honest, it was really good," and said, "Why do people think actresses will be hostile to each other when they are nominated together? Look at the male actors down there," and Gaga-yan asked, "To the male actors nominated right now, please kiss us," prompting laughter.
In a later interview, Yang Jin-hua said with a laugh, "I was the one who first suggested the kiss. Actually, I've wanted to hug Gaga-yan at least once and kiss her for a long time. It was my first time doing it on set and the sensation was so good that I wanted to do it again."
Gaga-yan also said, "When actresses go on stage together for awards, there is a view that they are only competitors. Why don't male actors do that?" and added, "I wanted to playfully twist that perspective itself."
The surprise kiss between the two quickly spread widely on local Taiwanese online communities as well as on domestic social media after the ceremony, becoming a major topic. Netizens reacted enthusiastically, calling it "the best moment in Golden Bell Awards history" and "a cool and pleasant performance."
Meanwhile, Gaga-yan is well known for the film Shang Jian Ni, which was also very popular in Korea, and appeared in the Netflix drama "Copycat Killer". Yang Jin-hua has appeared in the "Hua Deng Cho Sang" series and "Spotlight Is Mine," and continues to be active as an actress representing Taiwan.
