SEOUL, May 7 (Yonhap) -- The winners of the 58th Baeksang Arts Awards altogether prayed for S. Korean actress Kang Soo-yeon's recovery.

Kang was transported to a hospital after she was found in a state of cardiac arrest on Thursday and has been remaining unconscious for three days until May 7.

Sol Kyung-gu, who won the Leading Actor in Film, said, "I will pray for the recovery of Kang Soo-yeon, who held onto me and taught me when I was in confusion," adding, "I would appreciate it if everyone here and the viewers could pray so that she can wake up."

Byun Seung-min, CEO of Climax Studio, who produced Kang’s scheduled comeback film “JUNG_E(tentative title),” asked the audiences to give applause to Kang to encourage her after receiving the award for his series "D.P." The sound of short but loud applause spread throughout the hall.

Byun said, "Dear Kang Soo yeon, you will probably be alone in a deep and dark place right now, but I don't think you will want me to make a serious speech," adding, "I want to see you here again next year."
