'Rookie Director Kim Yeon-koung' features Kim Yeon-koung and Inku-shi, who also enjoy significant popularity. Director Kim Yeon-koung's charismatic leadership, coupled with Inku-shi's obedient responses, earned them the nickname 'Yes-ku-shi.' Their dynamic as coach and player captivated many viewers.
Tzuyang and manager Oh Soo-bin from 'The Manager' made waves with their eating show parade. Their kimchi-making episode, featuring Tzuyang's 'eating genius' skills and Oh Soo-bin's manager-like support, drew significant attention. Their feast of boiled pork, oysters, giant canned ham, large roasted sweet potatoes, and ramen delighted viewers.
Kian84, Dex, Pani Bottle, and Lee Si-eon from 'Born to Travel the World 4' are also contenders for the Best Couple Award.

Dex's thoughtful gifts for his brothers and their sincere farewell left a lasting impression.
Boom and Yang Se-hyung from 'If You Rest, It's a Relief' showcased their perfect banter and cooking skills, charming guests on a deserted island.
