Lee Soon-ji was honored with the grand prize with the song 'Gae-Sori' at the '2024 KBS Acting Awards' ceremony, which aired on the 11th. In 'GaeSori', Lee Soon-jae played the role of Sophie, a police dog, and Lee Soon-jae, an actor who solves the mysterious case of a village.
Lee Soon-jae, who recently dropped out of the play for health reasons, appeared in public in about two months. Although he went on stage with the help of his juniors, he showed off his presence by standing upright.
After winning the award, he said "I've lived for a long time, so I've always been preparing for it, thinking that the opportunity will come someday." I received this beautiful award, this precious award today."An American grandmother like Catherine Hepburn once rode it in her 30s and over 60s three times. If we're like him, we're going to give him a merit award if he eats well even if he eats 60. It's not a merit award."
He then said "Acting should be evaluated by acting, not by popularity or other conditions. That is the Academy of America. This award is not my personal. Numerous dogs appear in 'Dogsori' including Sophie. They all did their bit, too. Each part has a role to play. They did their best. It is a drama filmed by going back and forth more than 20 times where it takes four and a half hours to Geoje. It's all the same."
In addition, Lee Soon-jae added "There are grateful students"I have been working as a chair professor at Gachon University for 13 years with the consideration of the president. It took six months to film 'DogSori', so the time didn't match. 'I said, 'I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm not qualified as a professor.'" Don't worry, teacher. It's been a long time since I was in a drama, so do well. 'We'll make it all as you taught us. Don't worry. Wept" and wept.
Lee Soon-jae said, `I believe in those students and I know that I did my best and came to today's results. Thank you." Greeted. Finally, he added "To all the viewers who are watching, I owe you a lot and have been helped a lot throughout my life. Thank you." and received a standing ovation.
Lee Soon-jae, born in 1935, won the TBC Acting Award in 1970 and the MBC Broadcasting Entertainment Award in 2007 for his "High Kick Without hesitation".
