Jeon Hyun-moo has claimed the Grand Prize at the '2024 MBC Entertainment Awards', surpassing Yoo Jae-suk, who was on the verge of winning his 20th Grand Prize.

The ceremony took place on the evening of the 28th at MBC in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul. This marks Jeon Hyun-moo's third Grand Prize win at MBC. The event was co-hosted by Jeon Hyun-moo, Lee Jang-woo, and Yoon Eun-hye, and was initially scheduled for December 29 last year but was postponed due to the Jeju Air passenger plane accident. Yoon Eun-hye stepped in as host, replacing Lee Hye-ri due to scheduling conflicts.

Jeon Hyun-moo emerged victorious among strong contenders such as Yoo Jae-suk, Kian84, and Kim Dae-ho. As predicted by AI, Jeon Hyun-moo expressed his disbelief, saying, "I still can't believe it. This is my third Grand Prize at MBC. I've come this far without losing my initial passion. I've always wanted to bring joy to others through broadcasting, and I believe this award is a reward for that effort."

Jeon Hyun-moo also expressed gratitude towards Yoo Jae-suk, recalling a memorable moment backstage at the KBS Entertainment Awards. "I remember what he said to me. He could have wanted to reach 20 Grand Prizes himself, but he encouraged me to win, showing his character. I want to emulate his diligence and integrity," he added.

Among the Grand Prize nominees, Kim Dae-ho drew attention by being nominated just a year after winning the Rookie Award. He demonstrated his prowess by winning the Best Excellence Award in the Show & Variety category. Last year's Grand Prize winner, Kian84, received the Best Excellence Award in the Reality category, humorously handing over a trophy with a smudge to Jeon Hyun-moo.

In the female category, Park Na-rae and Jang Do-yeon both won the Best Excellence Award in the Reality and Show & Variety categories, respectively. Park Na-rae expressed her joy, saying, "I'm happy to receive this award with Do-yeon, who started comedy with me. We've succeeded from our days drinking soju in Yeongdeungpo."
