KBS Entertainment Awards was held on December 24. The event was held to recognize the stars of variety shows of the channel. The Daesang, or the grand prize, went to comedienne Kim Sook. With this, she made history as the second woman to win the trophy in the awards' history.
Comedian Lee Young Ja had won the first Daesang award in 2018. Accepting the award, Kim Sook got emotional and said "I thought to myself that this is where I received my very first award exactly 25 years ago, when I first started performing as a comedian at KBS.
