KBS 2TV <Celebrity Doctor's Secrets> won a bronze award in the 'General-Health & Safety' institutional sector at the 46th Telly Awards.
The Telly Awards is an international ceremony that selects outstanding works across various forms of video content, including traditional broadcasting, digital, social media, and branded content. As more than 13,000 works from around the world were submitted, the award for <Celebrity Doctor's Secrets> holds even more significance.
This year's theme for the awards is 'Stories Take Shape.' Amidst an emphasis on the fusion of traditional storytelling and new formats, <Celebrity Doctor's Secrets> earned the honor of a bronze award for the 'Audrey Hepburn' episode.
The award-winning 'Audrey Hepburn' episode received great acclaim from viewers as it illuminated the behind-the-scenes story of her sudden cancer diagnosis while she was maintaining her health and her passing just three months later.
Jeon Soo-young, the producer responsible for <Celebrity Doctor's Secrets>, noted, "It was a program that challenged a new format that highlighted the health and history of celebrities, which previously did not exist," adding, "I believe this award is a recognition of that challenge, making it even more meaningful to me."
Meanwhile, <Celebrity Doctor's Secrets> is South Korea's first medical storytelling entertainment program that tracks the life and death of celebrities who have stood at the pinnacle of human history. Audrey Hepburn underwent major surgery that removed her colon and uterus, yet she passed away on Jan. 20, 1993, at the age of 63, just a month after the operation. At the time of the surgery, her abdomen was filled with mucus, a rare disease known as pseudomyxoma peritonei, colloquially referred to as 'jelly belly.'
