Dahyun received the award Saturday at the Busan Cinema Center's outdoor theater in Busan, South Korea.
The Global OTT Awards recognize streaming platforms, creators and productions across 14 competitive categories and five invitational categories. The Rising Star Award honors actors and entertainers who have delivered notable work over the past year.
"Thank you very much for this meaningful award," Dahyun said. "'Love Me' was my first drama, and I was very nervous, but I was able to enjoy filming and see it through thanks to the director, my fellow cast members and everyone who worked on the production."
She also thanked the drama's viewers and her fans for their support.
Dahyun played Ji Hye-on in the drama, which ended its run in January. The role marked her television drama debut as she continued to build an acting career alongside her work with TWICE.
She made her screen debut in "You Are the Apple of My Eye," released in February 2025, and appeared in her second film, "Run to You," that September.
The award follows recognition from the Marie Claire Asia Star Awards in 2024, the Seoul International Film Awards in 2025 and the 29th Chunsa International Film Festival.
TWICE will close out its "THIS IS FOR" world tour with three concerts at KSPO Dome in Seoul from July 10 to 12. The tour spans 81 shows across 44 locations worldwide. All three Seoul concerts have sold out.
