Kim Go-eun's Grand Prize trophy scratched after manager drops it: 'Let's call it even,' she jokes

Actress Kim Go-eun shared a surprising anecdote about her Grand Prize trophy from the Blue Dragon Series Awards, revealing it sustained scratches after her manager accidentally dropped it on asphalt. The incident, however, did not lead to any blame between the artist and her long-time manager.

“

My manager dropped the trophy on the asphalt, and it got scratched.

Instead of dwelling on the damage, Go-eun lightheartedly proposed a "call it even" scenario. She admitted to forgetting to mention her manager's name during her acceptance speech, a mistake she felt balanced out his accidental mishap with the trophy. "I couldn't mention you in my speech, and you dropped the trophy, so let's call it even," she recalled saying, sharing the story with a laugh.

“

I couldn't mention you in my speech, and you dropped the trophy, so let's call it even.

Go-eun expressed deep gratitude for her manager's consistent support throughout her career. She also reflected on the significance of the award, noting that the outpouring of congratulations from those around her made the honor even more meaningful. She recently reconnected with director Jung Ji-woo and actors Park Hae-il and Song Jong-hee from her debut film 'A Muse,' finding their congratulations particularly touching.

“

I am truly grateful to my manager who has worked with me on all my projects.

The actress also spoke fondly of the 'Yumi's Cells' series, which spanned five years. She admitted she hadn't anticipated its longevity but felt a strong desire to provide a proper conclusion for its viewers. Despite the pressure from the positive reception of earlier seasons, she cherishes the five years as valuable memories. Go-eun currently feels she is experiencing the "most brilliant period" of her life, having navigated both periods of struggle and widespread acclaim, and aims to continue her acting with unwavering sincerity.

I often think I am going through the most brilliant period of my life right now.
