The 60th Baeksang Arts Awards has announced award winners in k-drama and Korean cinema categories. Suzy Bae and Park Bo-gum, co-stars of the film Wonderland, and comedian/entertainer Shin Dong-yup presented awards to candidates chosen from TV shows, OTT programs, and films that aired or were released between April 1, 2023 and March 31, 2024.

The Daesang or Grand Prize went to the drama Moving, which stars Zo In-sung, Han Hyo-joo, Ryu Seung-ryoung, Lee Jong-ha, Go Youn-jung and Kim Do-hoon. The drama, adapted from a webtoon by Kang Full, also won a Best Screenplay and a Best New Actor TV award for Lee Jung-ha. Kim Sung Su won the film grand prize for 12.12: The Day.

The award for Best Drama went to My Dearest, a Joseon-era saga of love and war. The drama also earned Best Actor and Actress awards for stars Namgoong Min and Ah Eun-jin.

The Best Film award was given to 12:12 The Day, which dramatically chronicles an important day in recent South Korean history. The film starred Jung Woo-sung and Hwang Jung-min, who won a Best Actor award for his role as a charismatic dictator based on a real-life figure.

The Best Director TV award went to Han Dong-wook for the crime thriller The Worst of Evil, starring Wi Ha-jun and Ji Chang-wook. Jang Jae Hyun won the Best Director award for his film Exhuma, a tale of shamanism and exorcizing trauma.
