The Most Popular Actor and Actress awards are decided through a public month-long online vote. Lee and Park also took home both honorary iQiyi Star Awards, which were specially included this year.

Both stars, however, missed out on the major awards -- Best Actor in the film category and Best Actress in the TV category, for which they were respectively nominated for "Gangnam 1970" and "Pinocchio."

The Best Actor in film award was shared by Lee Sun-kyun and Jo Jin-woong, both for the crime film "A Hard Day," and the Best Actress in TV award was instead won by Song Yun-ah for "Mama."

The Grand Prizes in film and TV went to actor Choi Min-sik, the star of Korea's best performing film of all time, "The Admiral: Roaring Currents," and TV producer Na Young-seok, who produced entertainment programs "2 Days & 1 Night," "Grandpas Over Flowers" and "Three Meals a Day."
