‘Outstanding Asian Star’ is conducted by voting for actors who have excelled in dramas over the past year. Particularly in Korea, the awards are divided into male and female categories and feature actors and actresses who have performed outstandingly in Korean dramas aired between May 1st, 2023, and April 30th, 2024.
