Broadcaster Yu Jae-seok received the grand prize at the 2025 MBC Entertainment Awards, securing his 21st trophy, and You Quiz on the Block also directly congratulated him.
On the 30th, tvN's You Quiz on the Block official SNS posted a captured photo of Yu Jae-seok receiving the grand prize at the 2025 MBC Entertainment Awards along with the words "Sincerely congratulations to Big Brother on his 21st grand prize."
Earlier, after receiving the grand prize Yu Jae-seok said sincerely, "Every time I receive a big award it is personally an honor and I am grateful, but at some point I wanted to make eye contact with and express my thanks to each person who applauds and supports us until late at night and to those who work hard behind the cameras."
He also said, "Not only me but as someone's son or daughter, thanks to your dedication and effort I was able to stand here more than twenty times," and added, "I want to say that my colleagues, seniors and juniors who quietly endure despite the increasingly difficult broadcasting environment have worked hard."
In addition, Yu Jae-seok said, "Above all, I thank the viewers. Because of you many programs exist," and added, "I received my first grand prize in 2005 and today received my 21st grand prize. I will try my best through the 30th." He continued, "I hope 2026 brings a fresh start. You cannot always be happy, but I hope you always smile and stay safe. Next year I will work hard on Hangout With Yoo as well."
In response, You Quiz on the Block chimed in, "Let's stay together for a long time until the day you receive your 30th grand prize."
You Quiz on the Block also shared an image containing the message, "Yu Jae-seok's 30 years are our 30 years as well. He, like us, moved between life's harshness and passion to become the 'Yu Jae-seok' he is today and has become a 'comfort' to us," leaving a deep impression.
Meanwhile, Yu Jae-seok is currently hosting You Quiz on the Block solo following Cho Sae-ho's departure. tvN's You Quiz on the Block airs every Wednesday at 8:45 p.m.<
