JYJ's Junsu was awarded the 'Popular Star Award' at the 17th annual Korean Musical Awards that took place at Olympic Hall on November 14th. The winners for the Popular Star Award were chosen based on viewer's votes alone, and actress Yoon Gong Ju of 'Tears of Heaven' also received the award alongside Junsu. The singer who has been actively promoting himself as a musical star remarked, "Thank you for presenting me with such a valuable award. The musical would not have been possible without the hard work of each and every staff and cast member." He continued, "There are times when the number of people who come to our shows does not represent the amount of effort we put in to the performances, or the amount of support that you guys show us. So the fact that I can stand here to receive this award is deeply meaningful. Thank you to all of the fans that come and enjoy our shows." In related news, Junsu has been cast in a new musical 'Elizabeth' which will premiere in 2012. Source & Image: FinancialNews via Nate
