Eric of THE BOYZ, who debuted in 2017, has been honored with the Rookie Award. Previously, he gained attention as the nephew of Son Joo-hee(손테일), known for his work in 'Just Makeup'.

The '2025 MBC Entertainment Awards' took place at 8:50 PM on the 29th at the new MBC headquarters in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, hosted by Jun Hyun-moo and Jang Do-yeon.

The Rookie Award in the radio category was awarded to Eric of THE BOYZ, who is currently appearing on 'Idol Radio'. Eric shared his nervous acceptance speech, saying, "I prepared a speech last night thinking I might win, but standing here makes me nervous."

He continued by expressing gratitude to his fans, saying, "I am thankful to the fans who have cared for me with love." He added, "I live each day with the mindset of trying and regretting rather than not trying and having regrets. In the new year, I hope you all have the courage to pursue what you want without hesitation. I believe everything will turn out well."

Eric concluded, "I don't know when I'll be back here, so my speech got longer. I will work hard, dreaming of the day I stand here again. Please continue to support me and THE BOYZ, and I pray that the new year will be kind and warm to everyone. Thank you."
