While she admitted to not understanding the Korean language, Chiu expressed her excitement and pride with heart-eyed and screaming face emojis. Her post quickly went viral, with many Filipinos expressing similar sentiments and joking about her reaction.
Actor Darren Espanto playfully reminded Chiu about Twitter's translation feature, prompting a wave of laughter from her followers. The translated post revealed that Chiu was recognized as a Most Outstanding Asian Star at the 19th Seoul International Drama Awards.
Chiu's recognition for her role in "Linlang," a daring departure from her previous teenybopper characters, marked a significant milestone in her career. She joined a group of Filipino actors, including Paulo Avelino, Nadine Lustre, Bea Alonzo, Rhian Ramos, Krissha Viaje, and Jerome Ponce, who were also nominated for the award.
