The newcomer award honor went to Yoon Kyung-ho by unanimous decision of the professional judging panel. Yoon Kyung-ho had drawn significant attention for his wit on the web variety show "Pinggego," and had been an early frontrunner for the newcomer award.
Yoon Kyung-ho, who won the newcomer award, said, "The people who were nominated with me were all formidable. Including Song Seung-heon, who left in a hurry, I am sorry and grateful. I don't know why I'm so nervous," expressing his trembling feelings.
He continued, "I'm actually someone who talks a lot and haven't always been well received for that, but the people who responded well to my jokes were the cast members of the movie "My Daughter is a Zombie" who appeared with me. Above all, this is the first time I've had so much fun speaking on a variety show, and I'm grateful that Older brother Jae-seok received me well," he bowed his head.
Finally, he said, "I want to thank my wife Kim Hye-jung, who is Pinggego's biggest fan and always supports and protects me," drawing cheers.
