2024 SBS Entertainment Awards Set to Shine on Lunar New Year

The highly anticipated '2024 SBS Entertainment Awards' is just one day away, taking place on January 29, marking the first time the event will be held on Lunar New Year. This year's ceremony promises a vibrant celebration featuring SBS entertainers who have made a significant impact in 2024, making it a perfect family viewing experience during the holiday.

Among the highlights, the opening stage will feature a magical performance by Jeon Hyun-moo, the host of the first-ever magician audition show, 'The Magic Star,' alongside winner Yoo Ho-jin and the 'TOP 7' contestants, Park Jun-woo and Eden. Jeon Hyun-moo, who recently gained fame with the 'Moodragon Teaser' reaching over 10 million views, will transform into a magician for this special occasion. Their collaborative act is expected to showcase unique magic tricks that have never been seen before.

Additionally, the stage will include a comedic skit titled 'APT.' featuring last year's award winner Tak Jae-hoon and rising star Ji Ye-eun, which has already generated buzz with its humorous teaser. Both performers are reportedly rehearsing diligently to ensure a flawless presentation. Other performances will include a waltz by the couples from 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2'—Jo Woo-jong and Jung Da-eun, as well as Kim Min-jae and Choi Yoo-ra—along with a surprise special stage that has yet to be revealed.

The live broadcast will also feature real-time voting for the 'Most Popular Program' award, allowing online viewers to participate. Voting will open simultaneously with the broadcast on major portal site Naver and the official SBS Entertainment Awards website. Nominees for this category include popular shows such as Running Man (런닝맨), My Little Old Boy (미운 우리 새끼), and more.

The seven nominees for the prestigious Grand Prize include Yoo Jae-suk, Jeon Hyun-moo, Shin Dong-yup, Lee Sang-min, Seo Jang-hoon, Lee Hyun-yi, and Kim Jong-kook. A teaser featuring actor Kim Nam-gil from the recently concluded SBS drama 'Hot Blooded Priest 2' has already stirred excitement, as he narrates a segment involving the nominees confessing their thoughts to an unidentified priest. The identity of this mysterious priest will be revealed during the live broadcast, adding to the suspense surrounding the Grand Prize winner.

The winner of the SBS Grand Prize will be announced during the '2024 SBS Entertainment Awards,' airing live on January 29 at 8:20 PM, making it a must-watch event for fans of Korean entertainment.
