"Actor Lee Byung-hun was captured on the same screen alongside Hollywood top stars, once again proving his global presence.
On the 12th, Lee Byung-hun posted several photos on his social media with the caption "goldenglobes #NoOtherChoice". The released photos showed Lee Byung-hun attending the 83rd Golden Globe Awards, and included scenes of nominees reflected on a large screen during the ceremony.
On the 11th (local time), Lee Byung-hun attended the ceremony held at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills, California, as a nominee for best actor in a motion picture — musical or comedy for director Park Chan-wook's film No Other Choice. The award honor went to Timothée Chalamet, but the moment Lee Byung-hun's name was called left a strong impression in itself.
The screen showing the nominees featured world-renowned actors appearing side by side, including Lee Byung-hun, Leonardo DiCaprio ('One Battle After Another'), George Clooney ('Jay Kelly'), Ethan Hawke ('Blue Moon'), and Jesse Plemons ('Begonia'). In particular, the scene of him standing shoulder to shoulder with Hollywood stars such as DiCaprio and Chalamet drew attention from domestic and international fans.
Although he did not take home the trophy, the mere fact that Korean actor Lee Byung-hun was listed as a Golden Globe best actor nominee and appeared on the same screen as top Hollywood actors is considered a meaningful moment.
Internet users have been reacting enthusiastically, saying, "It's already legendary that Lee Byung-hun's name is listed there," "Is it real that DiCaprio·Chalamet·Lee Byung-hun are on the same screen?", "A presence more powerful than winning," and "The stature of a Korean actor itself."
