Comedian Kim Won-hoon spoke out about the controversy over his expression captured during the live broadcast of the Baeksang Arts Awards and the profanity incident. He wrapped it up with a heartfelt apology and a cheerful explanation, eliciting laughter.
In the recently released episode 94 of the YouTube channel Shin Dong-yeob's 'Tears of the Brother,' Kim Min-kyo, Ji Ye-eun, and Kim Won-hoon grants engaged in candid conversations from behind-the-scenes of a company dinner to the stories after the award ceremony.
. That day, Shin Dong-yeob made a light-hearted comment to Kim Won-hoon, saying, 'It seemed that you did not manage your expression well at the Baeksang Arts Awards. You seemed to curse a bit during the live broadcast,' and added, 'Don't congratulate me; please forgive Won-hoon. I did not swear at the judges,' which provoked laughter.
In response, Kim Won-hoon honestly explained, 'I did not curse because of hyung's award. There was an emotional moment due to some unfortunate events,' and bowed his head, saying, 'I am truly sorry.' Shin Dong-yeob encouraged him, saying, 'Your world will unfold from now on. You are in great form these days,' to which Kim Won-hoon smiled brightly, saying, 'I really appreciate the praise from my role model, Dong-yeob hyung.'
Earlier, Kim Won-hoon was nominated for the Best Male Variety Award in the TV section at the 61st Baeksang Arts Awards held in early May alongside Shin Dong-yeob, Yoo Jae-seok, and Sung Si-kyung, but the award went to Shin Dong-yeob. When announced as the winner, Shin Dong-yeob shared, 'I really thought Kim Won-hoon, whom I love, would win. It was a position where it would not be strange no matter who won,' which caught attention.
Immediately after the award, Kim Won-hoon expressed his humble feelings on his social media, saying, 'Just being nominated was an overwhelming moment. I will work harder with a lower attitude.' However, during the broadcast that day, he revealed, 'I hurriedly smiled when I was caught by the camera while listening to the acceptance speech. I probably looked more forced.' When Ji Ye-eun exposed that he had said he wanted to go home quickly because he did not win the award, Kim Won-hoon jokingly replied, 'You're drunk, go home quickly.' When asked, 'Did you think you would win the award?' he added humorously, '100%? Absolutely not. Just in case, I wrote down names to be grateful for.'
Shin Dong-yeob, regarding the award at the time, expressed gratitude to 'Tears of the Brother,' the SNL crew, as well as to Hyori and Byung-heon, adding, 'In fact, Won-hoon should have won...' once again praised Won-hoon, who responded, 'Stop it. No matter how repetitive the jokes are, six times is a lot,' smiling awkwardly. Shin Dong-yeob added, 'Like Seo Jang-hoon's 2 trillion won estate, I believe this to be true,' thus ending the atmosphere on a warm note.
