MBC Entertainment Awards 2022 Winners
This year, the annual MBC Entertainment Awards in 2022 was hosted by Jun Hyun Moo, Kang Min Kyung, and Lee Yi Kyung.
This year’s grand prize (Daesang) was awarded to the most active entertainer, Jun Hyun Moo, for his achievements in the I live Alone and Omniscient Interfering View (The Manager) programs. It is his second Daesang after his first one at MBC Entertainment Awards 2017.
This year, he also took home two other awards. Those are the Entertainer of the Year Award and Best Couple Award with Park Na Rae and Lee Jang Woo. In his acceptance speech, he conveyed:
“One day, I became an announcer with the will to entertain people on TV. As I became a freelancer, I wanted to be funny while traveling through various entertainment shows, but I was criticized a lot because I couldn’t do it. Even when I suffered from malicious comments, I wanted to make people happy like Kyung-kyu and Jae-suk, so I did entertainment shows. It’s been ten years since I became a freelancer this year. I don’t know if my ability has improved, but I haven’t lost my original intention. The mind remains the same. I want to stay next to you like an old man ten years later.”
