On April 8, the Baeksang Awards announced the nominees for the Best Actor/Actress segments in this year’s award show.

Best Actress nominees included Ra Mi Ran (The Good Bad Mother), Ahn Eun Jin (My Dearest), Uhm Jung Hwa (Doctor Cha), Honey Lee (Knight Flower), and Lim Ji Yeon (Lies Hidden In My Garden).

Shockingly missing from the list, however, is Queen Of Tears star Kim Ji Won. The actress’s exclusion is even more glaring due to the fact that her co-star Kim Soo Hyun won a nomination.

Netizens reacted to the snub, with many criticizing the awards show. Many felt that Kim Ji Won more than deserved to be nominated, which is understandable as the K-Drama recently broke the elusive 20% viewership rating mark.

So Kim Soo Hyun was nominated but Kim Ji Won wasn’t? Does this make sense?
