Singaporean actress Gladys Bay wins Outstanding Asian Star award at Seoul ceremony

Mediacorp actress Gladys Bay has earned the Outstanding Asian Star: Singapore Award at the Seoul International Drama Awards, continuing her rising profile in the entertainment industry. The 29-year-old clinched the honor for her portrayal of Bella in the Mediacorp Chinese drama "Under The Net." This marks a significant achievement for Bay, who previously won Best Rising Star for the same role at this year's Star Awards. The Outstanding Asian Star award, which recognizes actors and actresses from six participating Asian countries, is determined by public votes. Bay secured a notable 42.67 percent of the votes cast via the Idol Champ app, narrowly defeating actress Cheryl Chou, who garnered 38.17 percent. Bay expressed her gratitude, stating, "This award is such a beautiful surprise, and I'm incredibly grateful that it was made possible by the fans. Thank you to everyone who voted for me and supported my work! Your trust means so much to me. I promise to keep working hard and bringing you work that you can be proud of." She follows in the footsteps of previous Singaporean winners at the Korean awards ceremony, such as Desmond Tan and Rebecca Lim. Bay is scheduled to attend the official awards ceremony in Seoul on October 8 to receive her accolade.
