'2025 MBC broadcast entertainment awards' began the main awards segment, heating up the venue with the sincere remarks of winners and various mishaps.
On the 29th broadcast of the 2025 MBC broadcast entertainment awards, major awards, including the radio·variety institutional sector rookie award, continued.
The radio rookie award was won by Eric of the group The Boyz. Eric said, "Thank you for giving me the rookie award that can be received only once," and greeted, "I also thank my beloved fans." He then said, "I have lived with the thought of trying anything and rather regretting it," and delivered the message, "In the new year, I hope you boldly challenge the things you want to do. Everything will go well," receiving applause.
The female rookie award in the variety institutional sector went to Kim Yeon-kyung. Kim Yeon-kyung said, "I sincerely thank you for creating a good program" and expressed gratitude to the production team and the athletes who worked with her. She said, "Although I'm not a broadcaster, I will take receiving a rookie award as a sign to do broadcasting from time to time," and said, "I will continue to work hard," expressing her resolve. The hot issue award that was announced next went to Bu Seung-gwan, who appeared on "The Wonder Coach."
The male rookie award in the variety institutional sector was won by Choi Hong-man. Choi Hong-man said, "It's the first time since I received a rookie award as an athlete 20 years ago," and, "This is my first time standing in a place like this, so I'm very nervous," showing a choked-up appearance. He expressed his thanks, saying, "There are so many people I'm grateful to."
Presenting the awards that day were Haha and Joo Woo-jae, who were last year's best couple nominees. In the process, Haha joked toward Joo Woo-jae, "Aren't you Arin's boyfriend?" prompting laughter.
This recalled the mishap that occurred earlier at the 2025 KBS entertainment awards. At that time, Joo Woo-jae won the excellence award for Problem Child in House and stirred the venue by saying, "Arin, I love you." He immediately tried to recover by saying, "Arin is my niece," and MC Le Chanwon reacted, "I was so surprised," bringing uproarious laughter.
In response, Joo Woo-jae wittily replied, "I don't know why this is becoming an issue. She's truly a niece I love," and added, "I could take out my niece's photo and show it here right now, but because the company is small, I can't," which added to the laughter. He then neatly wrapped up the situation by saying, "I'll announce the winners right away."
The awards ceremony that combined the sincere remarks of rookies and unexpected wit left another memorable scene.
