The 2024 Asia Artist Awards (AAA), held on December 27, showcased not only exceptional talent but also the charming presence of the Jang sisters, bringing excitement to fans and attendees alike.
Jang Da-ah stood out by winning the prestigious Rookie Award for her performance in the TVING original series, "Pyramid Game." The moment was made even more special, as her younger sister, Jang Won-young, who was co-hosting the event, presented the award. This heartwarming presentation caught the audience’s attention, though it was brief, with Won-young quickly turning away after handing over the trophy, delighting viewers with her playful demeanor.
During her acceptance speech, Jang Da-ah expressed heartfelt gratitude, saying, “I’m happy to stand before respected seniors and viewers. I want to thank my dad and mom, whom I love and respect the most in the world, for raising me. I’m also grateful to everyone who loved ‘Pyramid Game.’” The actress went on to thank the director, writer, production team, and all those involved with the show.
“I know this award is still too much for me, so I’ll strive to grow internally and become a mature person,” she added gracefully, closing her speech with wishes for everyone to have a healthy end to the year. The sincerity of her words struck chords with many, reinforcing her fresh talent and dedication.
When MC Ryu Jun-yeol asked her sister, Jang Won-young, about presenting the award to Da-ah, she replied with joy, “I’m so happy to personally give such a meaningful award to my sister. I think our parents must be watching proudly and happily.” This statement not only displayed her affection but also illuminated the bond between the two sisters.
Reflecting on their relationship, Da-ah remarked, “When I said I wanted to act, my sister probably thought it was just another job I was pursuing and didn’t pay much attention. I don’t give much feedback either, so we both work hard independently, silently cheering for each other.” Despite being contemporaries within the same entertainment industry, the sisters maintain individual paths, demonstrating mutual respect and support.
The captivating visuals of the Jang sisters at the ceremony added to the excitement of the event. Jang Da-ah looked stunning in a peach strapless gown with her hair elegantly styled in a simple bun. Fans took to social media to share their admiration for her elegance, praising her as the "epitome of class.” On the other hand, Jang Won-young, who wore a similarly colored yet sparkly beaded gown, showcased her idol persona with long, flowing waves of hair.
Fans immediately noted the similarities between the two, exclaiming how they looked almost identical. The hashtag #JangSisters trended on various social platforms as netizens shared their delight at seeing the stylish siblings together. Comments like “today's Jangsis” and “you truly can’t fool genes!” flooded social media, reinforcing the admiration fans have for both sisters.
The atmosphere was filled with ecstasy as Jang Da-ah and Jang Won-young effortlessly showcased their achievements, embodying the bright future of the South Korean entertainment industry. The pride of their parents radiated through their heartfelt words and interactions at the 2024 AAA, hinting at the strong familial support behind their professional journeys.
