Following the Director's Arena victory, it was selected among the 12th works that advanced to the finals out of over 200 entries in the 1st Korea Short Drama Awards, and I am honored to have won the Grand Prize."

He continued, "I sincerely thank all the staff and actors who worked together on this project. It is a work that could never have been created alone."

He added, "Taking Lee Beon (수상) as a good stimulus and responsibility, I will continue to think deeply and strive to become an excellent writer, director, and actor in the future. Once again, thank you to everyone who has supported me."

At the same time, he shared photos of himself receiving the Grand Prize for his directed work 'She from the Killer's Apartment Above' at the 1st Korea Short Drama Awards held on the 29th at the main building of the Korean Film Archive in Sangam-dong, while delivering acceptance remarks.

Meanwhile, Lee Ju-seung recently made headlines by winning the final round of 'Director's Arena,' Korea's first short drama director survival show last month. He took home a prize of 100 million won as the sole individual handling scriptwriting, directing, and leading acting roles.

Lee Ju-seung, a descendant of a national meritorious person, stated, "When my respected grandfather passed away this year, he always told me to do good deeds whenever something good happens. Following his words, I donated the entire prize money to a facility for single-parent families. May everyone receive good energy."
