On November 22, the Grimae Awards 2023 ceremony was held in Seoul. 

Actors Namkoong Min and Ahn Eun Jin led MBC drama My Dearest — which received immense acclaim for its story, direction, and performances — swept five awards at the 2023 Grimae Awards.

Both the coveted Best Actor and Best Actress awards were claimed by Namkoong Min and Ahn Eun Jin, respectively. Furthermore, My Dearest clinched the Grand Prize and accolades for Best Direction (Kim Sung Yong, Cheon Soo Jin, Lee Han Joon) and Best Lighting (Cho Min Gu).

Actor Namkoong Min commented, "I came here much more happy than any other awards ceremonies. I came with such joy and a light heart. Although it's me receiving this award, the staff and lighting in front of me are the main characters." 

He added, "I've been in front of the camera for about 24 years now, and as time goes by, I really feel the importance of the filming and lighting directors. He also said, "The success of My Dearest is due to the directors. I respect them so much, and it was not me who made My Dearest but the staff and the direction."

Ahn Eun Jin also expressed her gratitude, saying, "I was wondering what to say, but sunbae (senior) conveyed my feelings that I filmed with the same gratitude so well." She continued, "Thanks to sunbae Namkoong Min, I was able to perform well. I think I'll remember all the ups and downs of this past year for a long time. Thank you so much for loving My Dearest."

The Grimae Award is presented by the Korean Television Producers Association (KTPA) to honor the contribution of cinematographers. The directors of the films vote for the performers who have given the best performances in the actor and actress categories.
