These three projects alone give a glimpse of Kim Go Eun&#x27;s versatility and her sheer ability to transition from one role to another effortlessly, one genre after another—from a heavy, coming-of-age series to a mystery thriller to a romantic drama. In 2024, she also starred in the award-winning horror film <em><strong>Exhuma</strong> </em>and the comedy-drama film<strong> </strong><em><strong>Love in the Big City</strong></em>.<em></em><em></em></p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px;display:block" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1785546775065759850614_18122982031693596_1061569628676814781_n.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo from @fridabridal_official</span></span></span></div><div><em></em><em></em><em></em></div><div><br/></div><p>Kim Go Eun has won many acting awards before with projects like 2012&#x27;s <em>Eungyo </em>(A Muse<em>), 2015&#x27;s </em><em>Coin Locker Girl </em>and <em>The Advocate: A Missing Body</em><em></em>, 2016&#x27;s <em>Cheese in the Trap</em> and <em>The Guardian: The Lonely and Great God </em>(<em>Goblin</em><em>)</em>, 2022&#x27;s <em>The Little Women</em>, 2024&#x27;s <em>Exhuma</em>, and 2025&#x27;s <em>The Price of Confession</em>. </p><p>But her victory at the 5th Blue Dragon Series Awards is extra special because she won the Grand Prize (Daesang) for the first time for her portrayal in the drama <em>You and Everything Else</em>, wherein she starred alongside actress Park Ji Hyun.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-32" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DbddYEjoJZh/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=810&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A32%2C%22os%22%3A4795401.6000000015%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-32" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><em></em><em></em><em></em><em></em><em></em><em></em><em></em><em></em><em></em></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px;display:block" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1785547461226kim go eun grand prize 5th blue dragon series awards.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo from @bhent_official</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>Kim Go Eun began her acceptance speech by saying that she felt honored &quot;to be able to meet all the seniors and juniors whom I can only see at a place like this.&quot;</p><p>Emotional, she continued, saying, &quot;Earlier, while looking at the nominees for Best Picture, I felt so, so proud inside because there were two projects that I participated in. So I thought of many people I worked with. Come to think of it, from <em>You and Everything Else</em>, to <em>The Price of Confession</em>, and to <em>Yumin&#x27;s Cells</em>. I will consider this an award given to me for working hard. At this moment, I think a lot about many senior actors who were with me. I was really lucky to follow and learn while working with such great seniors. Someday, I will also try to be that kind of senior...</p><p>&quot;Our Ji-hyunand Jae-won, thank you so much, and Hyesoo Senior, thank you so much. Our director, writers, and my family and friends who must be watching right now, thank you so, so much, and I love you. Our team/family, my mind is so scattered, but anyway, thank you so much. I&#x27;ll contact you later.</p><p>&quot;As for me, oh, I have never once thought that doing a project is something to be taken for granted. That is why I try my best to approach every single moment with sincerity and a sense of responsibility.</p><p>&quot;I will work really hard so that people want to keep finding new faces in me as an actor and stay curious, so please look for me a lot and give me opportunities. I will work harder in the future. Thank you once again.”</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px;display:block" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1785547936816kim go eun grand prize 5th blue dragon series awards B.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo from @bhent_official</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>Congratulations, Kim Go Eun!</p><div><br/></div><p>Lead photos from <strong>@fridabridal_official </strong>and <strong>@bhent_official</strong><strong></strong></p>
