Comedian Kim Won-hoon cheerfully shared his feelings about not winning at the 'Baeksang Arts Awards'.

On the 28th, a video titled "Two Men Who Lost at Baeksang: A Hot Spring Trip to Hakone, Japan (ft. Kim Won-hoon)" was released on the YouTube channel 'Choo Sung-hoon'.

The released video showed Kim Won-hoon and Choo Sung-hoon visiting Hakone hot springs in Japan together. As soon as they arrived, Kim Won-hoon grumbled, "You said we'd film it in Korea. Why did we even come all the way to Hakone, Japan?" In response, the production team mentioned his failure to win at the 'Baeksang Arts Awards', saying, "You had something to deal with, so we brought you to Japan for comfort."

Kim Won-hoon said, "(Choo Sung-hoon and I) met again at Baeksang. He sat right next to me. Hyung Choo Sung-hoon congratulated me in advance, saying he thought I would win at Baeksang."

Kim Won-hoon continued, "I met Choo Sung-hoon, and he said, 'I'm glad my mood lifted. We both lost out.'" This remark drew laughter. Although Kim Won-hoon and Choo Sung-hoon were nominated for the 2026 Baeksang Arts Awards Male Variety category, the honor of winning went to Ki-an 84.

Kim Won-hoon recalled, "It wasn't just water; I drank Wonhyo Daesa's skull water. At that time, he was sitting right next to me. He said, 'Won-hoon, you're going to win. Prepare your acceptance speech.' So I believed him and prepared. I muttered it for a few minutes." Choo Sung-hoon added, "I rehearsed it from the side. I was thinking about what I would say if I won."

Kim Won-hoon added, "I didn't watch a single moment of the awards ceremony before that." Choo Sung-hoon comforted him, saying, "It hurts. Since there's a wound, please understand."

Lee Eo (수상), who predicted Ki-an 84 and Kim Won-hoon as the winners, explained, "I only thought about 1%. Seeing you next to me, I thought you were working hard on something. I thought, 'This won't do. You have to win.'"
