Season 2 of the Netflix series "BEEF," directed by Korean-American director Lee Sung-jin, has won three awards at the Emmy Awards, the most prestigious honors in American broadcasting.

However, it failed to win in major categories, including Best Limited or Anthology Series.

During the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony held locally on the 14th at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, California, "DTF St. Louis" was announced as the winner of the Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series award.

"BEEF Season 2," which was nominated alongside it, fell short at the threshold of the Best Series award.

Carey Mulligan and Oscar Isaac of "BEEF Season 2," who were nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress and Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie, also did not take home honors.

Korean actor Youn Yuh-jung and Korean-American actor Charles Melton, who appeared in the same series, were earlier nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress and Supporting Actor at the Creative Arts Emmys on the 6th, but failed to win.

At this year's Emmy Awards, "BEEF Season 2" received nominations across 14 categories with a total of 16 individuals (including overlapping nominations by category), but won in only three categories: Outstanding Sound Mixing, Outstanding Sound Editing, and Outstanding Costume Design.

In 2024, Season 1 swept eight awards, including Best Series and Lead Actor and Actress categories.

"BEEF Season 2" is set against the backdrop of a country club frequented by the wealthy, depicting stories of people from various strata—such as a billionaire new chairman, a general manager couple, and an employee couple—using one another while simultaneously feeling consumed by anger.

The series drew major attention as the story unfolded with a Korean backdrop in the latter half, featuring Youn Yuh-jung taking on a significant role as the billionaire Chairman Park, alongside a special appearance by Song Kang-ho.

The main protagonist of the Emmy Awards ceremony on this day was the Apple TV+ horror comedy series "Widow's Bay."

This work won awards in 14 categories, including Outstanding Comedy Series, Directing, Writing, and Lead Actor.

Matthew Rhys was announced as the winner of Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy and Limited Series for both "Widow's Bay" and "The Beast in Me," becoming the first actor in Emmy history to win two Lead Actor awards in the same year.

Rhys previously won a Lead Actor award for "The Americans," setting a new record as the first actor to win Lead Actor across all three genres distinguished by the Emmys.

HBO Max's medical drama "The Pit," which drew attention as the most-nominated series, won Outstanding Drama Series for the second consecutive year following last year.

Another notable winner was "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert."

This show was named Outstanding Variety Series.

"The Late Show," CBS's flagship late-night talk program that began in 1993, had been led by Colbert for 11 years since 2015, succeeding David Letterman.

However, following sharp jokes directed at U.S. President Donald Trump, the show came to an end last May due to CBS's sudden decision to cancel the program.
