[MBC 연예대상] ‘Grand Prize’ Yoo Jae-seok, a heartfelt appeal for juniors

Yoo Jae-seok won the trophy of the ‘2020 MBC Broadcasting Entertainment Awards’. It reached the top again in 4 years. There was no strong candidate for this year except for Yoo Jae-seok. As such, Yoo Jae-seok’s contribution through’What do you do when you play?’ The prediction was correct, and he came to the stage and calmly released his award-winning speech. Above all, the heartfelt sincerity towards the juniors contained in the award speech caught the eye.

The ‘2020 MBC Broadcasting Entertainment Awards’, which was broadcast live on the afternoon of the 29th, was hosted by broadcaster Jeon Hyun-moo, comedian Jang Do-yeon, and actor Ahn Bo-hyun. According to the government guidelines related to broadcast production, MCs installed individual transparent screens after checking their body temperature in advance, and the awards and winners wore masks for all participants. A 1m distance between individual seats was secured, individual partitions were installed for each table, and winners and prize winners were packed in a contactless manner.

The winners and grand prize nominees of the Artist of the Year were Narae Park, Seongju Kim, Youngja Lee, Gura Kim, Jaeseok Yoo, and Hyunmoo Jeon. Yoo Jae-seok won the grand prize as predicted by Kim Gura, who affirmed that he had no rivals at all.

It was the first target to receive through programs other than’Infinite Challenge’. Yoo Jae-seok said, “I didn’t know I would receive the grand prize again after’Infinite Challenge’,” saying thanks to his parents, his wife Na Kyung-eun, son Ji-ho, and daughter Na-eun. Next is’What do you do when you play?’ Kim Tae-ho expressed his gratitude to the production crew and staff, including PD.

The story Yoo Jae-seok prepared, which I really wanted to tell, started from next. “It’s been 8 years since the comedy program disappeared from MBC. It’s a day that reminds me a lot of my juniors and colleagues. As a broadcaster, the disappearance of the program is something I have to accept, but I hope there will be a small stage for juniors to dream of. “There is a desperate desire to create a stage where they can dream for a moment next year to their juniors who will be living the fierce life of the company.”

First, he also expressed his heart toward the late Park Ji-seon, who passed away. “I hope that Ji-seon, who went to heaven at an early age this year, has peace in the sky. I hope that he will deliver a lot of laughter to the viewers who could not be reborn in the next world.”

Yoo Jae-seok’s impression of receiving the grand prize contained anxiety and anxiety about juniors who were struggling but couldn’t get a chance, as well as longing and compassion for juniors who passed away first. It was the moment that showed the dignity and sentiment of the subject. Can the sincerity he shoots show a miracle? I hope there will be a direction that can deliver hope, even a little.

On the other hand, Yoo Jae-seok was named in three crowns, including the Grand Prize at the ‘2020 MBC Broadcasting Entertainment Awards’ and the Artist of the Year Award and the Best Couple Award. This was the first time that it won the Best Couple Award, whose winners are determined by viewers vote. Yoo Jae-seok said, “Thanks to Hyori, I won the prize. If I pretend, I was truly grateful that I could perform entertainment with Hyori, who works just by looking at pretending eyes.” The viewers’ appreciation for the performance of the two people with the modifier’National Siblings’ pleasantly colored the home theater in 2020 led to the award.
