"Designated Survivor: 60 Days" won an award at the Asian Academy Creative Awards 2019 in Singapore.

Held at the end of each year, the Singapore Asian Academy Creative Awards is Asia's largest content award ceremony that reviews and awards the Asian content market in a year.

"Designated Survivor: 60 Days" won in the Best Adaptation of an Existing Format category, which awards works that remake world-class content formats with superior capabilities. In 2018, "Life on Mars", produced by Studio Dragon, received awards in the same category, marking the second consecutive year of the award.

"Designated Survivor: 60 Days" is a remake of the popular original U.S. drama. It is said to have met the expectations of the original fans with its thorough localization, including tackling the difference of the political systems in the U.S. and South Korea, their diplomatic environments and national sentiments. The steady improvement in viewership during the show and the highest ratings of 6.2% and 7.9% on average attested to the drama's popularity.

"We honor the staff and actors who participated in the drama, and there would have been no such joyous outcome without them", said Jung Se-ryeong, producer of Studio Dragon, which produced "Designated Survivor: 60 Days". "I am proud that the AACA recognized Korea's ability to produce content".
