Cutest Moment at Baeksang 2025: IU Helps Her “Daughter” with Lines, Even Song Hye Kyo Couldn’t Help but Laugh
On May 5, a star-studded lineup gathered to attend the prestigious 2025 Baeksang Arts Awards. Singer-actress IU drew a great deal of attention for her outstanding performance in When Life Gives You Tangerines, along with her captivating and beautiful visuals.
In particular, fans caught several sweet moments of IU showing affection toward her young co-stars from When Life Gives You Tangerines. When her “on-screen daughter” Ahn Chae Rin forgot her lines on stage, IU, sitting in the audience, kept mouthing the words to help her remember. Eventually, the child actress recalled the script, and IU proudly applauded from below. This heart-melting moment between IU and her young co-star quickly went viral on social media, receiving tons of praise from netizens.
IU’s sweet treatment extended to another child actress, Kim Tae Yeon, who played the younger version of Geum Myung (IU’s character) in the drama. Throughout the awards ceremony, IU was seated right next to Kim Tae Yeon. Since the little girl was still new to the spotlight, during intermission, IU held her hand and walked her around to greet others. IU’s presence and support, boosting her young co-star’s confidence, earned much admiration from the public.
The Baeksang Arts Awards were established to promote the development of Korean popular culture and the morale of artists, recognizing excellence in television, film and theater. First held in 1965, this year marked the ceremony’s 61st anniversary.
