English translation for Kim Tae-ri's acceptance speech, taken from Twitter: "I really thought it's fine even if I don't win, and I didn't think I would win. Just now, when I was watching sunbaenim's videos, I realized that I didn't mention my costars, Joohyukie, director, writer, and staff working with me. So I thought IF... IF I get to go on stage, I'd like to convey that they've really worked hard. I thank them so much, and really really thank you... (eotteohge, eotteohge)... Oh, I'm really sorry... (eotteohGEEEE)... I recently read what I have written in my early 20s: 'Learning isn't something that would be given by anyone, but is something that you'd have to steal.' I totally forgot that I had written this, but I feel like it is written well. I really stole a lot from Hee-do; I learned so much from her. It was such an honor to have portrayed her role and I was so thankful. To be honest, I can't say [that] I was happy (about that), but I was thankful. But, the way I got so much love, and [the way] this best actress award makes me feel is like this whole drama is being congratulated as a whole; so I am SOOOOOOO HAPPY. I am REALLY REALLY happy right now. I REALLY REALLY want to say thank you to everyone. Going forward I'll work hard to become a good actress. I wanted to say something cool, but I don't know what to say. I'll take this as an award that Twenty Five Twenty One got. Really, thank you so much!"
VERY MUCH DESERVED! she did such a notable performance in 2521, acting as a young high schooler in your 30s is not a joke, the way she showed charisma, disposition, complexity and transformation through her own character is so well done, and she also did an impressive portrayal of an athlete (she worked hard practicing fencing for months)
Her character looking so simple compared to others but still it had a lot to perform. They should have shown her fencing scenes. She really deserve it. The way she portrayed the character so well. And the drama was great. It's been a month but still cry when I see the final episode. I hope my man NJH also win a best actor award in any award show for playing Yi-jin. The way he portrayed the character. Especially the emotional character. Anyways congratulations #KimTaeri.
2521 introduced me to her and now I just finished Mr. Sunshine. I never watch historical drama because I always thought it wasn't my type but after watching her performance as na hee do, I searched for her other works and stumbled upon another masterpiece by her. Have to admit, she is my favourite korean actress now. She is so natural on screen. I can't describe her charm when she is on screen.
True i too don't like historical dramas but coz of her i watched mr sunshine and it was so so good she is such a talented actress i hope she gets more recognition as she truly deserves it
Congratulations Kim Taeri. Kim and Junho looked like brother and sister standing side by side. So lovely. Congratulations Lee Junho the KING among multitalented artists.
She totally nailed it in 2521. She portrayed it really well that it hit the viewers so deep with her character, she owned HEEDO Chukhae HeeDoyaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!
She deserved that award, she's verrryyy good in portrayal of Na Hee Do in her teens when in fact she's in her early 30's👍what an actress, my CONGRATULATIONS! to my fave actress👏👏👏
The way she took the award is like how na heedo would .... She brought to life na heedo, their souls become one that's why she able to do the outstanding performance that made her the best actress ❤️🥰🙂😊 jeongmal chukahamnida Kim taeri sshi you deserve it 👏👍.
WELL DESERVED! This year is Tae Ri time to SHINE BRIGHTER, she mentioned Johyukie first shows how grateful she was towards NJH for portrayed BYJ and do lot of ad-libs together. Both are amazing actors hope they can reunited in another project. 👏🏼👏🏼🤍 🤍
She truly deserved the award she amazing actress I'm really excited your new movie iHope become blockbuster pray for that. Your are so pretty simple love Ms Kim Taeri congrats
It's okay to be nervous it's normal, you can say whatever you like as long as it is sincere in your heart, you really really deserve it Kim Tae Ri aka Na Hee Do, I hope you get many projects in the future, Fighting Kim Tae Ri 💜😍💗
Congratulations Kim Tae Ri. You will be next generation Son Ye Jin. I was drawn into you in 2521, then I watched Mr Sunshine, ended up liking you more. You are such a talent. Well deserved.
No other actresses were more suitable for role of Na Hee Do and Ko Yu Rim than each Kim Tae Ri and Kim Ji Yeon. I love both of these actresses. ❤️ Also, her attitude resembles Na Hee Do so much when she tells the appreciation of awards 🤣🤣🤣 Anyway, congratulations. Kim Tae Ri ❤️
Well deserved award!!! Congratulations Kim Tae Ri!!! It would have b3een a complete happiness had Nam Joo Hyuk been nominated and won as Best Actor. His performance in 2521 complimented that of Kim Tae Ri. Anyway, he will have his own time to shine as great actor.as he is becoming to be. Again, all the best, Hee Do!!! Keep shining.
Very well deserved!!! The actress Kim So-Yeon who gave her the bouquet was also the director and screenwriter of "Moon-young" which Kim Tae Ri starred in.
I just started getting into Kdrama and she is by far my favorite kdrama actress. She’s so natural and seems to be so professional. She really gets into her character. You deserve this award. You did such an awesome job making TWENTY FIVE TWENTY ONE. Hope you make a movie or show with my favorite kdrama actor, PSJ. That would be a movie or show to look forward to. Hope it comes true!!!
Congratulations!!! I really liked the character from 25,21 and she really looked like a teenage when she is already in the 30s . Kept the body and spirit so well!!!
I'm soooo happy for her it's like I've won the reward xD well deserved she really brought to life a character that must be studied in schools. Na hee do was an inspiring human being I really love her 😍
Kim Tae Ri you absolutely deserved to win the Best Actress Baeksang Award ❤ Congratulations!!! You made Na Hee Do a precious and fun character you brought to life in the drama 2521.
How gorgeous does she look. It must have been so hard for the jury. Every single act in there was fantastic. People are saying it's hard acting in your teens when you are in your 30's. That's not the point. Irrespective of how she looked she aced her part. Let me also mention for the Kings affection acting as a king being a woman definitely isn't easy. Same for Han So Hee. She was badass in My Name and to act like she did was phenomenal. Again The Red Sleeve I loved watching Deokim as much as I loved San as the king. I bet nobody could have played the royal concubine better than her. And then the global phenomenon Squid Game. Damn god bless the jury. They should have just handed everybody the trophy.
I came here to see Tae Ri's speech. I just finished 2521 last night/yesterday. Late right, what a shame lol. I've heard a lot about this K-Drama, but it is not my nature. I'm into K-Pop the most. A fan of BTS, in short ARMY. But before I watch 2521, this exact award ceremony itself, bec of 2521's major popularity, I was able to watch lots of clips and highlights, even news, including this one. I was not happy neither care. I just didn't care bec I'm not into drama. Now after I binge-watch it, I felt proud for her. Bec the drama was nice tho even they didn't end up together. I made sure that I would really watch the clip where KTR receive her award and have her speech. I'm so happy for you Kim Tae Ri. More projects to come, beautiful life, good experiences. Don't get sick and be happy. I LOVE YOU NA HEE-DO, I LOVE 2521.
KTR deserves the honour 🎉 , she makes Na Hee Do comes to life . In fact, without her, the drama would have been ordinary . Not to mention the ending which is heartache to all of us who watched it.congratulations !
Desde mi silla al otro lado del mundo salte de alegría cuando gano... Muy orgulloso de ella. Es un grantalento. Pronostico su llegada a Hollywood en años venideros.
