[OSENWORLD] Squid Game swept the 2025 Gold Derby TV Awards with six trophies — including one of the night’s biggest surprises: actor Choi Seung-hyun, known globally as former BIGBANG member T.O.P and for portraying Thanos, winning Supporting Actor over veteran Lee Byung-hun, the show’s formidable Front Man.

The awards prediction outlet Gold Derby announced on August 19 that Squid Game took home six honors, including Best Drama Series.

Lee Jung-jae earned Lead Actor in a Drama for his portrayal of Gi-hun, while Kang Ae-sim took Supporting Actress as Jang Geum-ja. Gong Yoo won Guest Actor for his cameo as the mysterious recruiter. The cast also earned the coveted Ensemble of the Year award, rounding out the sweep.

This year’s ceremony covered television and film content released between 2024 and 2025. With Squid Game Season 2 debuting in December 2024 and Season 3 following in June 2025, the wins are widely viewed as recognition of the back-to-back cultural impact of both seasons.

Now in its 22nd year, the Gold Derby TV Awards honor excellence across more than 30 categories spanning drama, comedy, animation, and film. With this year’s victories, Squid Game once again underscored its global status as one of the defining TV series of the decade.
