In the video, Kim Min-ha wore a black off-shoulder top and jeans, with minimal makeup, presenting a natural look as she sang seriously on stage. At the actual awards ceremony, she wore a silver off-shoulder dress, creating an elegant atmosphere. She delivered Frank Sinatra’s ″That’s Life″ with a clear and powerful voice, demonstrating strong stage presence. MC Jeon Hyun-moo commented right after the performance, ″Is there any awards ceremony with a congratulatory performance this sincere? Today, she was not actress Kim Min-ha, but musician Kim Min-ha. It felt like being in a jazz bar.″ After the stage, Kim Min-ha shared on her official account, ″I was so nervous and overwhelmed! I am truly grateful for this precious moment, and I sincerely congratulate all the awardees.″ When she returned to the stage as a presenter, she said, ″This stage was the most nerve-wracking, more than any filming set.″ Regarding her 17kg weight loss, she mentioned in an interview with Newsen, ″I didn’t expect my weight loss to become such a big topic, and I was very surprised. My previous statements like ’I love myself as I am’ and ’Why do I have to be skinny?’ have been revisited, but I lost weight for a role. I am satisfied with both my chubby past self and my current self.″ Kim Min-ha lost weight by eating one meal a day and exercising, explaining that it was to portray a terminally ill character in her next project. In a recent interview about the film ″Hana Korea,″ she revealed that she originally dreamed of becoming a singer and secretly enrolled in a practical music academy without her parents knowing to prepare for a singing career. However, feeling limitations during the preparation process, she resumed studying and, following advice from her neighbor Seol Kyung-gu, chose to pursue acting. Singer and actress Uhm Jung-hwa encouraged Kim Min-ha by saying, ″You were so amazing, Min-ha!! It was like a scene from a movie,″ Seolhyun said, ″You’re the best,″ and Song Yoon-ah said, ″Our Min-ha is truly beautiful. Congratulations.″
