Hey K-drama fam, guess what? The legendary trio, Park Bo-Gum, Suzy, and Shin Dong-Yup, are officially coming back to host the 61st Baeksang Arts Awards! This marks their seventh year in a row, and honestly, it wouldn’t feel right without them.
You know that warm, familiar feeling you get when you rewatch your favorite Park Bo Gum dramas? That’s exactly the vibe this hosting trio brings to the awards. It’s comfort, class, and just the right amount of fun.
Why This Hosting Line-Up Just Works
Let’s be real, awards shows can sometimes feel long and overly formal. But with Park Bo-Gum, Suzy, and Shin Dong-Yup running the show, it always feels fresh. Each of them brings something special to the table:

Park Bo-Gum is that calm, sweet presence who always looks like he stepped out of a romance drama. If you’ve seen him in Love in the Moonlight or Record of Youth, you know exactly what I mean.

Suzy adds a touch of elegance and cool-girl charm. Whether she’s acting, singing, or hosting, she just gets the vibe.

Shin Dong-Yup? He’s the life of the party, funny, fast, and totally in control of the mic.
Together, they’re a dream team. And honestly, it feels like catching up with old friends every time they hit that Baeksang stage.
