Why Each Host Makes This Night Special
Shin Dong Yup — The Veteran Anchor
Shin Dong Yup will host the ceremony for the 12th time. He led from the 50th through 52nd editions and has returned every year since the 54th ceremony. Last year, he won Best Male Entertainer in the TV/Drama category, and this year he will present the award in the same category.
From winner to presenter — that’s a full-circle moment only legends get to experience.
Suzy — The Symbol of the Baeksang Stage
Suzy marks her 11th consecutive year as host after celebrating her 10th anniversary last year. Since first hosting the 52nd ceremony in 2016, she has not missed a single year. As both a symbol of growth and a defining figure of the awards, her presence remains one of the event’s highlights.
Eleven years, zero absences. Suzy isn’t just a host — she IS the Baeksang stage.
Park Bo Gum — Loyalty, Visuals and Warmth
Known for his visuals, strong hosting skills, and positive influence, Park Bo Gum reflects the awards’ core values of fairness and credibility. After debuting as an MC at the 54th ceremony, he stepped away during the 57th edition for military service. He returned for the 58th ceremony as his first official activity after discharge, showing his loyalty. Now marking his eighth time as MC, he is nearing his 10th anniversary.
That return after military service was one of the most heartwarming moments in Baeksang history — and fans are still not over it.
According to Wikipedia’s entry on the Baeksang Arts Awards, the ceremony is one of South Korea’s most prestigious entertainment awards, covering both film and television — making its hosting lineup always a major talking point each year.
