ad | Learn more about CJ ENM’s 2021 Visionary Honorees, Youn Yuh-jung, Hwang Dong-hyuk, Yu Jae-seok, Choi Jung-nam, BTS and aespa.
Youn Yuh-jung, a 74-year-old actor whose career spans five decades, became a top-rated performer and an iconic star in the early 1970s with her breakout role in the 1971 thriller “Woman of Fire.” Since then, Youn has gone on to portray some of the most unconventional women in modern Korean cinema, captivating audiences with her fearless spirit and inspiring the next generation of entertainers.
Looking ahead at what’s in store for her, Youn remains unfazed by the heightened fame and recognition that comes with being honored with a statuette. The multifaceted nature of Hwang’s work comes from the way he approaches his craft first and foremost as entertainment. In the rapidly changing entertainment industry, the 49-year-old remains on top of his game, as evidenced by the success of his recent show, “You Quiz on the Block.” Although the program is vastly different from Yu’s earlier works, it won an array of awards, exemplifying how audiences are eager to support shows that challenge traditional formats.
The comedian adds that his unconventional show is the fruit of collective effort. “No matter how much I long for challenges, it would not have been possible without my colleagues and staff who have gladly joined me.”K-pop acts are often praised for their catchy choreography and skillful dance performances. Thousands of fans cover key moves of hit K-pop choreographies on social media platforms, racking up millions of views.
Indeed, Choi has produced multiple dance-themed programs for Mnet, CJ ENM’s television channel for trendy entertainment, over the past 14 years, but none of these has reached the level of success of “Street Dance Woman Fighter.” In the years following their launch, the South Korean septet has broken records and cultural boundaries, and inspired their fans around the world, known collectively as ARMY, to pursue positivity.
The group has spent the last two years comforting audiences through their album “BE” and a variety of English-language singles that were reflective and uplifting at a time when the world needed that sort of art the most. That the group’s name comes from English words “avatar,” “experience” and “aspect” is itself a clue to aespa’s futuristic concept and vision. The group consists of four real-life members — Karina, Winter, Giselle and Ningning — and their respective avatars, or virtual selves. aespa’s songs and music videos depict how the performers and their avatars interact and support one another, transcending the real and virtual worlds.
