Yoo Jae Suk hosted the lighthearted and banter-filled 2nd Pinggyego Awards on December 22. Lee Dong Wook, Park Shin Hye, and others attended the show.
Renowned South Korean comedian and TV personality Yoo Jae Suk, dubbed the “national MC,” returned to host the second edition of the Pinggyego Awards on Sunday, December 22. Kicking in the early hours at 9 am KST, the awards ceremony has characteristically adopted an unconventional style of hosting A-listers.
With fan-favorite stars such as Lee Dong Wook, Lee Dong Hwi, Lim Soo Jung, Park Shin Hye, Lee Kwang Soo, Girls’ Generation’s Yuri and others in attendance, the event instantly attracted a massive influx of new subscribers. Moreover, the viewer count surpassed 110,000 viewers on the ‘DdeunDdeun’ YouTube channel as soon as the show commenced, according to Sports Chosun.

Back-and-forth banter guided the relaxed event and unexpected moments followed with even the likes of an industry veteran as actor Lee Sung Min (The Shadow Detective, Misaeng) being awarded the Rookie title for his participation in Jae Suk’s web variety episodes. The official introduction extract for the show acknowledged in the YouTube description: “Actually, the awards ceremony is just an excuse… We’ll just talk about recent events, year-end and new year plans, and other things together as a year-end gathering.”
Last year’s Daesang recipient, Lee Dong Wook, graced the final moment to announce his successor, i.e. this year’s Grand Prix receiver.
