Controversy Surrounds 2024 KBS Entertainment Awards



Complaints about year-end awards such as annual events are pouring out. This time, it is the "2024 KBS Entertainment Awards".

On the 21st, KBS Hall in Yeouido, Seoul hosted the '2024 KBS Entertainment Awards' hosted by Lee Joon, Lee Chan-won, and Lee Young-ji. On this day's broadcast, the Rookie of the Year award for show and variety was won by singer Zico of The Seasons and singer Zico of 'Synchrooyu'Espa Carina. In addition, actor Lee Sang-woo and singer Park Seo-jin won the Rookie of the Year award in the reality category. It's true that he didn't stand out in the Rookie of the Year award.

Comedian Toilet was furious. On the 21st, he posted a message on his personal account, "'Can't you give me a comedian, though? Entertainment Awards that only take care of singers."




It is also controversial that Cho Se-ho won the grand prize in the show and variety category for "1 Night 2 Days & 2 Days & 1 Night". After winning the award, Cho Se-ho said, `Most of all, the production crew and members are with us. I received the biggest award since my debut. I'll think it means to work harder next year."My wife, who is staying with me for the first time. Thank you for marrying me and I feel like I have so much luck to meet you. With that strength, I will do my best to make you laugh as much as you want, having fun next year. I would like to thank the production team who are working hard even when it's hot," he said.

However, there are many voices wondering about Cho Se-ho's award. Jo Se-ho joined '2 Days & 1 Night' last August. He appeared as a member for only four months, and the first two weeks of them were absent from filming due to pre-planned overseas schedules and in October due to honeymoon. In the midst of this, it is pointed out that it has been reduced to a 'popularity award' by winning the best prize.

As usual, the year-end awards ceremony for terrestrial broadcasting is again at the center of controversy.
