Actress Shin Min Ah has shared a funny behind-the-scenes story about how Lee Kwang Soo made her even more nervous while presenting an award at the Blue Dragon Series Awards, especially with her husband Kim Woo Bin sitting nearby.
On the October 28 episode of tvN's "You Quiz on the Block", Shin Min Ah recalled an unexpected moment involving Lee Kwang Soo and Kim Woo Bin during the 5th Blue Dragon Series Awards.
During the conversation, host Yoo Jae Suk brought up the ceremony, where Shin Min Ah appeared as a presenter for the Grand Prize.
*"Kwang Soo was sitting next to you. Wasn't it difficult?"* Yoo Jae Suk asked.
Shin Min Ah admitted that she had already expected something funny to happen because Kim Woo Bin was among the nominees.
*"I was presenting the Grand Prize. From the moment my husband Kim Woo Bin was nominated, I had a feeling something was going to happen,"* she recalled.
Her nervousness increased when she noticed that Lee Kwang Soo was sitting right beside her husband.
*"On top of that, Kwang Soo was sitting next to him. The stage was also very close to where the nominees were seated,"* she explained.
*"I was so nervous because I felt like those two were going to do something."*
As Shin Min Ah stepped onto the stage to present the award, Lee Kwang Soo suddenly cheered for her in his signature loud voice.
His enthusiastic reaction caught her attention, making it difficult for her to hold back her laughter. Kim Woo Bin also appeared embarrassed by his friend's playful behavior.
Shin Min Ah explained that she was already under pressure because she had to present the award alone.
*"Since I was presenting by myself, I had to read the script alone, and I was extremely nervous. Then, just as I expected, things got chaotic,"* she said.
Although she appreciated Lee Kwang Soo's support, she admitted that his actions made her even more anxious.
*"I was really grateful, but it made me even more nervous,"* she shared.
She also revealed that she initially tried to avoid making eye contact with Kim Woo Bin during the presentation.
However, her nervousness eventually made her look toward him for comfort.
*"I tried not to make eye contact, but because I was nervous, I wanted someone to lean on, so I kept looking in my husband's direction,"* she explained, drawing laughter.
The story offered a funny glimpse into the friendship between Lee Kwang Soo and Kim Woo Bin, as well as Shin Min Ah's reaction to their playful behavior during an important moment.
Meanwhile, Shin Min Ah and Kim Woo Bin got married after being in a relationship for approximately 10 years.
Their appearance at the Blue Dragon Series Awards became an especially memorable occasion for Shin Min Ah, thanks in part to Lee Kwang Soo's unexpected cheering.
