Actor Kim Soo-hyun made an appearance at the 50th Paeksang Arts Awards held in the Grand Peace Hall of Kyung Hee University in northeast Seoul on Tuesday.


The Korean heartthrob showed up in a black single-buttoned suit with a white shirt, sticking to a simple black-and-white code of fashion.


The annual awards ceremony has been hosted by IS PLUS Corp., publisher of Ilgan Sports, since 1965. The award ceremony recognizes outstanding achievements in Korean film, television, theater and other segments of the entertainment industry. It was established by Chang Key-young, founder of the Hankook Ilbo, who was known by his pen name Paeksang.
