Lee Soon-jae Makes First Public Appearance After Recovery at KBS Drama Awards
Jan 11, 2025

The "2024 KBS Acting Awards" aired on the 11th was hosted by broadcaster Jang Sung-kyu, actors Seo Hyun and Moon Sang-min as MCs. The "2024 KBS Acting Awards" was scheduled to be broadcast live on December 31 last year, but it was canceled in the aftermath of the Jeju Air plane disaster, and the award ceremony was replaced by a recording.
On this day, Lee Soon-jae won the Best Couple Award along with Yeon-woo and Gae-ri from Momoland, who worked together in 'GaeSori'. In October last year, Lee Soon-jae, who had stopped his activities for health reasons and focused on recovery, made his first public appearance in two months to attend the "2024 KBS Acting Awards".
Lee Soon-jae, who was helped on stage by Kim Yong-gun and Yeon-woo, was a little thinner than before, but he calmly expressed his acceptance speech with a straight posture on stage.
Lee Soon-jae said, `Two-thirds of Korean families are couples with dogs and people, so I think they are quite familiar with the relationship. But it's the first time for a drama."This time Sophie (Ari) is in full lead. Without this friend's ability, 'DogSing' would have barked and stopped. I almost barked," he said, smiling with a witty remark.
Then, with praise for the production team of 'Gae-Sori"All the actors participating here came in with the desire to do something because it is an exotic work. No one set out to win the prize. We joined forces as an attempt to make this unique work fun and show it to viewers. So this work has no lead or supporting roles. Every part is the master."

Then "A prize is a good thing. Especially, the winner is a really good thing. When that award was a real award, I guess the award I really received for my best evaluation. That's the case with the American Academy Awards. Just because you're a star doesn't mean you're giving it away. There are many people who can't win the award even though they are the best stars of their time. Actors who don't even know their names and hard-working actors win the award. This is the prize. When you receive such an award, you become a heirloom of your lifetime and an honor of your lifetime. We need to go to that kind of award," he said.
Then "I'm on KBS this time. It is the first time that it has been on this stage since the 1980s when the media was merged and joined the target candidate group. If you go out as the Grand Prize, it is said to be the Grand Prize a month ago, but it is said to be the Achievement Award five days later. There are works that say, 'This is the object that belongs to me.' Who's father is in 'What's Love?' Daebal gave her mom except for her father. Of course, Kim Hye-ja is a great actor and can still win the award. There is no regret"A prize is a fair prize, and the more you win, the more honorable and valuable it becomes. I hope KBS will develop into such an image in the future through the opportunity of 'Gae-Sori'."
MC Jang Sung-kyu told Lee Soon-jae "Excuse me, do you want the grand prize today. Or, as you said earlier, are you not greedy for the prize at all?" In response, Lee Soon-jae "I didn't come here to win the award from the beginning. The reason why I came up is because I am the oldest member among the same members, and I came up because I am 90 years old."
