Awards and nominations

Political activities

Following the coup d'etat on February 1, 2021, he participated in the Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) and chanted slogans for the immediate release of the detained leaders, Aung San Suu Kyi and the leaders from the National League for Democracy.

However, on April 10, 2021, Yan Aung was on a warrant list by the State Administration Council and the junta pressed three charges against him for participating Civil Disobedience Movement which he would face the death penalty if he was arrested along with other celebrities. Within minutes, this information is spreading on Facebook without confirmation which causes him to quit political activities and cooperate with the current military junta that causes criticism and boycott from the people of Myanmar.
