2023 Blue Dragon Film Awards Red Carpet
44th Blue Dragon Film Awards Hosts: Kim Hye-soo and Yoo Yeon-seok
Kim Hye-soo took charge of the Red Carpet event like the Queen she is, and of course the Queen had to step out in a gleaming, show-stopping golden long gown. By her side, Yoo Yeon-seok looked dapper in his bow tie-suit combo. Switching up from the common choice of monochromatic black-and-white look, he adopted a different ombre suit blazer vision, which helped him standout in the crowd.
Choi Min-young (Dream Palace Movie, Twenty Five Twenty One Kdrama and XO Kitty)
Exuding his boy-next-door aura, Min-young win us again with his charming energy. Despite taking on the seen-before suit and tie avatar, he looked ever-so adorable on the red carpet.
Kim Do-hoon (Moving Kdrama)
Lee Jung-ha (Moving Kdrama)
Kim Seon-ho (The Childe Movie)
Ahn So-yo (Green House Movie)
Kim Hyung-seo aka BIBI (Hopeless Movie)
In a boned-bodice ivory shade sleeveless gown, South Korean singer-actor BIBI made all eyes turn to her as soon as she stepped on the red carpet. Posing several times for the camera with hand-hearts, she proved yet again that she’s a seasoned poser and knows how to command the camera’s gaze.
Shin Ye-eun
Kim Sun-young (Dream Palace and Concrete Utopia Movies)
The always delightful and ever-glowing Kim Sun-young, though stepped out in a dark black gown with sheer flared sleeves, her bedazzled dress was almost just as bright as the warmth exuded by the actress.

Lee Joon-hyuk (Vigilante Kdrama)
Park Bo-young (Concrete Utopia Movie and Daily Dose of Sunshine Kdrama)
There’s just no doubt about it anymore that Bo-young, our very “daily dose of sunshine” is indeed a princess. Dropping by in her fluffy ball gown, the much-loved actress again chose to stay loyal to minimalism as her dress and long locks of hair did all the talking for her distinguished gracefulness.
Kystal Jung (Cobweb Movie)
Krystal’s dress probably added the most amount of bright and ravishing drama to the red carpet. Following her own mind for style, she stepped out in a shimmering sleeveless red gown that swerved from the common path of keeping it mellow and low-key.
Tang Wei (Chinese actress to star in the upcoming film Wonderland with Park Bo-gum)
The former Blue Dragon Film Award-winner and Decision to Leave actress was a sight to behold on the red carpet. Her sparkling silver dress tailed behind while petal-shaped glittering ornaments on her dress shone the light on her as if it were but natural.
Jeon Yeo-been (Cobweb Movie)
The Cobweb actress knew exactly what she was doing when she pulled up to the red carpet with this black dress – catching our hearts of course.

Kim Seo-hyung (Green House Movie)
Sporting a most significantly different look as compared to the other stars on the red carpet, the Green House actress, won us over with her sleek black dress, accessorised with chic black boots. Though wearing a sleeveless dress, her arm-length gloves instantly caught our gaze.
