Lee Jun Young-Lee Jun Hyuk's Popularity Awards mix-up
The Popularity Award of the 4th Blue Dragon Series event was shared by four actors– Hyeri, IU, Park Bo Gum, and Lee Jun Hyuk. When Life Gives You Tangerines' Lee Jun Young was among the nominees, who failed to bag the title. However, during the announcement of Lee Jun Hyuk's name, Lee Jun Young misheard it to be his name, due to the similar pronunciation.
He went on stage to collect the award, and after the confusion was cleared, he went to the Mercy for None star and handed over the trophy to him, along with a hug. Host Jun Hyun Moo addressed the mix-up, saying, “Lee Jun Young is certainly a popular star as well, but this year’s top star is Lee Jun Hyuk. I should’ve pronounced it more clearly. I was surprised too when Lee Jun Young came up— it was actually Lee Jun Hyuk.”
Although the incident was taken lightly, Lee Jun Young swiftly took to Instagram to issue a public apology.
