Baeksang Arts Awards, also known as Paeksang Arts Awards, honors outstanding achievements in the South Korean entertainment industry. It’s basically the “Oscars of Korea” so you can imagine how big of a deal it is to receive a nomination.
This year’s ceremony marks the first time for Netflix to be recognized by the annual arts awards — and for two productions, at that!
