The 59th annual Baeksang Arts Awards was a night to remember, as the top talents in Korean film and television were honored for their exceptional work. However, it was a memorable performance that stole the show and left a lasting impression on the audience.

The actors who portrayed social minorities in various films and dramas came together to prepare a moving tribute to those who have been neglected by society. Their performance was a powerful reminder of the importance of representation and the impact that media can have on shaping our perceptions of marginalized communities.

The performance began with Suzy narrating, "In the ebb and flow of our days, we tread the familiar path of simplicity and routine. We attend school, labor at work, and exchange casual greetings with friends.  Has everyone been well? Have we truly been well?  In the past year, the pulse of pop culture has quickened to the stories of those who have been robbed of the joys of ordinary living, and those whose lives have been marked by pain and hardship. Thus, the Baeksang Arts Awards will unleash a tide of impact, rippling across our lives flowing like water. We offer this tale as a tribute to those who suffer in silence, whose pain and struggle remain hidden from view."



The performance brought to light those who suffer from blind spots in society. Actors Park Jin Young, Kim Si Eun, Oh Ji Yool, Lim Ji Ho, Kang Hyun Oh, and Kim Jung Young offered a voice of comfort by singing Lee Juck's "Stoning" line by line. In particular, actress Kim Jung Young left an impression and touched viewers' hearts when she performed the song in sign language. 

Through their deeply moving tribute, these actors gave voice to the voiceless, shining a light on the struggles and pain of those who are all too often forgotten. Their performance was a powerful call to action, inspiring us to recognize the humanity in those around us and to work towards building a world where all are seen, heard, and valued.

As the night drew to a close, the echoes of their performance continued to reverberate, leaving a lasting impression on all who witnessed it. It was a night to remember, one that will surely be remembered as a turning point in the fight for equality and social justice.
