Jeon Hyun-moo, Grand Prize Winner ‘MBC‘s 3rd Best Trophy’
At the ‘2024 MBC Entertainment Awards’, Jeon Hyun-moo won the grand prize.
Jeon Hyun-moo, who took home the grand prize, recalled his days as a rising star in the entertainment industry, saying, “This is my third time receiving the grand prize from MBC.”. He said, “I‘ve always wanted to grow up and go into that small square box to make people who are lonely like me and don’t have many friends happy.”I think this award was given to me because I kept my original intention when I was young and got this far. He said, “I’ve never lost that original intention.”
He also said, “I think I’ve been worrying a lot about what kind of laughter I should bring these days,” and expressed his determination to make a show that is more like vitamins than dopamine, a show that leaves an aftertaste after watching it, and a show that brings healthy laughter. He also said, “I will not lose that original intention I had with Hyunmoo when I was young, that I always wanted to make you happy, and I will continue to work hard.”
In his acceptance speech for the first time, he mentioned his parents, whose only joy is watching his broadcast, and told them that he loves them. Finally, Jeon Hyun-moo said, “I hope this year will be filled with things to laugh about. Although we are lacking in many ways, the breathing may be long and a bit boring, we will become entertainers who can create programs that make you smile after watching them.” He concluded his speech by saying, “Happy New Year, viewers.”
The Entertainment Program of the Year award, chosen through text-message voting by viewers, went to ‘I Live Alone’, proving its consistent popularity. Entertainers of the Year included Daesang winner Jeon Hyun-moo, as well as Yoo Jae-suk, Kian84, and Kim Dae-ho. Yoo Jae-suk expressed his determination to continue working hard to bring even bigger laughter on weekend evenings, and hoped that his colleagues and the production crew who work with him on South Korean entertainment shows will also have a year full of laughter.
Kian84 expressed his gratitude to the teams of ‘I Live Alone’ and ‘Because I Was Born to Play Music’ for their New Year‘s message and 2024. Kim Dae-ho, who has appeared on various entertainment shows such as ‘Save Me! Holmes’, ‘I Live Alone’, ‘It’s Good to Get a Good Rest’, said, “I don‘t always show only the nicest sides of me. However, I would like to sincerely thank the production staff who created those sides without any misunderstandings, and the viewers who watched them without any misunderstandings.“
The Grand Prize Award went to Jang Do-yeon, Park Na-rae, Kim Dae-ho, and Kian84, and the Excellence Award went to Hong Hyun-hee and Lee Yi-kyung. The Merit Award went to DJ Bae Chul-soo of ‘Bae Chul-soo’s Music Camp’, South Korea‘s representative pop music radio program celebrating its 35th anniversary this year.
