Get ready for a fierce fan showdown! The race is officially on for the Prism Popularity Award at the upcoming 61st Baeksang Arts Awards, and the competition couldn’t be hotter.

On April 23, the Baeksang Arts Awards team kicked off global voting, announcing that fans have until May 2 at 4 PM KST to support their faves. And yes, this year’s male nominee lineup is pure heartthrob central — with Park Bo Gum, Byeon Woo Seok, and Choo Young Woo all vying for the coveted title.

• Park Bo Gum is riding high off the buzz of When Life Gives You Tangerines

• Byeon Woo Seok has fans worldwide swooning after Lovely Runner

• Choo Young Woo is earning praise for his heroic role in The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call

They’re not alone. Other fan-favorites include Lee Jun Hyuk (Dongjae) and even Dex, the breakout broadcaster who’s taken the entertainment world by storm.

On the female side, it’s an equally stacked roster:

• IU (When Life Gives You Tangerines)

• Kim Hye Yoon (Lovely Runner)

• Song Hye Kyo, Kim Go Eun, and Kim Tae Ri round out the powerful lineup.

Fans can vote four times a day through the Prism app, with daily votes resetting at midnight (KST). Last year’s record-breaking 11 million+ votes prove just how passionate K-drama fans are — and 2024 is shaping up to be even more intense.
