Congrats uri Haein and D.P team!Hope you will come home with those awards 💪🏼
On the other hand, some were hopeful that Jisoo would join the list of nominees in the upcoming award-giving bodies.
Yes, its disappointing that Jisoo didn't get nominated for the Baeksang Awards. But lets be reminded that, yes Baeksang is one of the most prestigious entertainment awards in SK but they are not the only awarding giving body out there.
