On December 24, KBS honored the variety stars and programs who lit up the network and brought viewers some much-needed laughter over the past year!
At the 2020 KBS Entertainment Awards, the network’s annual celebration of its greatest achievements in variety programming and entertainment, comedienne Kim Sook took home this year’s Daesang (Grand Prize).
Kim Sook, who became the second woman in KBS history ever to win the Daesang (Kim Young Ja was the first in 2018), teared up on stage as she accepted her award.
“Thank you so, so much to KBS for giving me such a huge award,” said the visibly emotional Kim Sook. “Actually, when I was standing on stage earlier, I thought to myself that this is where I received my very first award exactly 25 years ago, when I first became a [comedian at KBS]. So I’m extremely grateful to be receiving this huge award here 25 years later.”
