On Tuesday, December 29 KST was the 2020 MBC Entertainment Awards celebrating the variety shows and stars of MBC Entertainment.
The star of the night was Yoo Jae Suk, who took home this year’s Daesang (Grand Prize) for his remarkable work on the MBC show ‘How Do You Play?’. This is his seventh Daesang at the MBC Entertainment awards including his notable work along the ‘Infinity Challenge’ casts in 2007.
Yoo Jae Suk expressed his gratitude to all the people who supported him:
I don’t know how to express my gratitude. I really had no idea I’d win the Grand Prize again after ‘Infinite Challenge.’ There are so many people I need to thank. Thank you to my parents and my father-in-law,” he said. “More than anything else, to my beloved Na Kyung Eun. I wanted to say this. I’m also so proud and grateful that I’m the husband of Na Kyung Eun.” He continued, “Our son Ji Ho is in the fourth grade and our youngest has turned three. I think they’ll be asleep right now but I want to say ‘I love you so much’ to Ji Ho and Na Eun.
He wanted to have dinner with the staff and producing directors of ‘How Do You Play?’ once the situation calms down. He also thanked Defconn, Hwasa, Jessi, Jo Se Ho, Jung Jae Hyung, Kim Jong Min, Lee Hyori, Lee Juk, Lee Sang Soon, Rain, Uhm Jung Hwa, and Yoo Hui Yeol for being a big part of the show. He also added:
I’ve never thought when doing a program, ‘I’m confident,’ or ‘I can achieve this,’” he said. “But there’s something I always decide when I’m doing a program. No matter what the result is, I will take responsibility. Thank you to the viewers who support us when we’re having a hard time and now too.
He shared his hope to make a return to MBC with a comedy program where he could work with other junior comedians. Yoo Jae Suk also mentioned the late comedian Park Ji Sun who passed away this year.
