Last night, the Disney+ series Moving and The Worst Of Evil took home several notable awards including the coveted Grand Prize In TV; Best Screenplay – TV, Best Director – TV, and Best New Actor – TV at the prestigious 60th Baeksang Arts Awards in Seoul, South Korea.
A star-studded event featuring some of the biggest names in the Korean entertainment industry, the Baeksang Arts Awards celebrate excellence in film, television, and theater in South Korea.
During the event, Moving took home the show’s top award – Grand Prize In TV, with writer Kangfull also receiving the award for Best Screenplay – TV; and Moving actor Lee Jungha taking home the award for Best New Actor – TV, for his performance as Bongseok in the hit series.

Hailed as “a superhero story with an emotional core” by Forbes, “the next breakout hit from Asia” by Variety, and “surprising and powerful” by IGN, Moving tells the story of a group of South Korean special agents working to protect their super-powered children from harm and exploitation at the hands of malicious government agencies, and stars Ryu Seungryong, Han Hyojoo, Zo, and the award-winning Lee Jungha.
Set in 1990s Seoul, The Worst of Evil follows an undercover police officer as he infiltrates a Korean crime organization, looking to bring them down from the inside and expose a dangerous drug triangle between Korea, Japan and China. Gritty and emotive, the series stars iconic actors Ji Changwook, Wi Hajun and Lim Semi, and is directed by the award-winning Han Dongwook.
