Yoo Jae-suk Wins 20th SBS Entertainment Award

On January 29, 2025, renowned MC Yoo Jae-suk claimed his 20th trophy at the '2024 SBS Entertainment Awards'. Leading the popular show Running Man (런닝맨) for 15 years, he also connected with viewers through his new program, Tteum Man Nameun (틈만 나면). Competing against notable figures such as comedian Shin Dong-yup, MC Jeon Hyun-moo, and singer Kim Jong-kook, Yoo expressed his joy, stating, "I did it!" while lifting the trophy.

In his heartfelt acceptance speech, he thanked his children, Ji-ho and Na-eun, and his beloved wife, saying, "I never imagined I would receive this award for the 20th time since my first in 2005. It holds special meaning to me after nearly 20 years. I have been part of SBS programs on Sundays for about 22 years, and it has been possible thanks to the support of many. The entertainment environment is becoming increasingly challenging, but I will strive to bring laughter alongside my colleagues in 2025."

The show 'Miun Our Baby' (미운 우리 새끼) dominated the night, winning a total of eight awards, including Best Program and Best Entertainer. Lee Sang-min, also from 'Miun Our Baby', won the Producer Award and SBS Son Award, expressing his desire to win the Producer Award, stating, "This is the only award missing from my home. I have been receiving awards every year since my Rookie Award in 2017, and I will work harder this year to aim for the grand prize. If I win while married, it would make 2025 the happiest year for me."
