"I Live Alone" Pamyu siblings' fates diverged dramatically at the end of the year. Park Na-rae stepped down amid allegations of manager power harassment, while Jun Hyun-moo was nominated with Koo Sung-hwan for best couple and is also being mentioned as a strong contender for grand prize. Meanwhile, another Pamyu prince, Lee Jang-woo, recently left with a happy ending after marrying his longtime girlfriend Jo Hye-won.
2025 MBC's top entertainment couple will be decided by viewers' votes. The "2025 MBC Entertainment Awards," which brings together entertainers who provided joy through MBC variety programs this year, will air on Dec. 29 at 8:50 p.m. As various entertainment couples across programs showcased cheerful energy and delightful chemistry, there is great interest in who will take home the best couple award.
First, Jun Hyun-moo and Koo Sung-hwan from "I Live Alone" were the main figures behind the "1st Naive autumn sports day," where rainbow members united and delivered a festive, abundant fun. In particular, the moment when Koo Sung-hwan challenged Jun Hyun-moo to a 100-meter revenge race and once again lost to the "Musain Bolt" Jun Hyun-moo had viewers rolling with laughter.
Meanwhile, Joo Woo-jae and Haha displayed a bickering chemistry on "Hangout With Yoo" that won them much love. In the "10,000-won happiness" challenge, the clash between Haha, who sought happiness, and Joo Woo-jae, who looked for rational ways to win, provoked big laughs. In addition, in the holiday special side story "Brother, what are you doing?" they showed brotherly moments as they traveled and had honest conversations.
The hit of the second half of 2025, "The Wonder Coach" Kim Yeon-kyung and Inku-shi's popularity is also considerable. Kim Yeon-kyung, director of the Wonder Dogs, showed charismatic leadership that did not shy away from harsh words for her players. The team's youngest player, Inku-shi, always answered "nep" to Kim Yeon-kyung's scoldings or instructions and earned the nickname "Nepkushi," and the chemistry between the director and player as they shared many conversations and grew together attracted much attention.
Tzuyang and manager Oh Soo-bin from "Omniscient Interfering View" drew attention with a mukbang parade. In the kimchi-making episode, the "eating genius" Tzuyang inhaling various ramyeon and manager Oh Soo-bin's mukbang performance as a manager of a mukbang creator drew intense interest. After the kimchi making, they delighted viewers' eyes with a great mukbang that included boiled pork, oysters, giant canned ham roast, king-size roasted sweet potatoes and ramyeon.
Kian84, DEX, Panibottle and Lee Si-eon, who traveled to Nepal together on "Adventure by Accident 4," were also nominated for best couple. Facing various situations, their strengthened friendship, honest and comfortable sharing of feelings, and friendly communication with locals provided both fun and emotion. Above all, DEX, who had to return home earlier due to scheduling, prepared gifts for the older brothers, and the older brothers' sincere feelings shown for their departing younger companion left viewers with deep resonance and warmth.
Finally, Boom and Yang Se-hyung on "Rest well and you'll be fine" displayed a perfect back-and-forth, wit that captivated guests who came to the uninhabited island, and cooking skills that brought smiles. Boom and Yang Se-hyung formed "Uh-Hoong Five" with Kim Hee-jae, Patricia and ZEROBASEONE's Park Geon-wook, operated an uninhabited island restaurant with master An Yoo-seong, and even when heavy rain poured, they did not lose their spirits and created unique memories.
