Winners Of The 2020 KBS Entertainment Awards

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.”

“Honestly, I thought to myself beforehand that because KBS has given me so many amazing opportunities, and because I’m part of so many programs [here at the network], I’d already received plenty of things and experiences that are even more valuable than a Daesang,” she humbly continued.

Kim Sook went on to reveal with a smile, “I actually didn’t tell my family about this, because I was afraid that I would have to go home empty-handed again.”

After thanking her family members and many colleagues, the comedienne concluded, “I’d like to share this honor with the health care workers, small business owners, and many other people who are currently struggling due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I will try to create variety programs that can make people smile, if even just a little. Thank you so much, everyone.”
