On the 29th broadcast of the "2025 MBC Entertainment Awards," comments by Jang Doyoun and Kim Sook drew attention.
Jang Doyoun was announced as the second winner of the entertainer of the year award. Immediately after receiving the award, Jang Doyoun said, "It feels like the most shameless award" with her characteristic self-deprecating wit, drawing laughter. She said, "Senior You Se Yoon said the grand prize was me, so I thought it was a new form of ridicule. It makes no sense," and joked, "They wouldn't give it anyway, and I had no intention of accepting it."
Jang Doyoun added, "I feel regretful that I haven't always done my part," and sincerely conveyed, "I think everything is luck. I will run hard until luck reaches me. I hope everyone stays safe in the new year." She said, "I'm reading "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" these days, and if you're not humble, everyone dies. The entertainment world is scary," and expressed her resolve, "Like my father said, I will live humbly to survive to the end."
In response, Kim Gu Ra said, "I disagree with Jang Doyoun's humble remark; there's something called impostor syndrome," and added, "Attributing it to luck—those who won clearly reached that position through their skills and efforts; rather than humility, I hope they flaunt their talent freely." He then joked, "If everyone works so hard and is so humble, people like me can't survive," drawing laughter.
Next, the best female performer award was announced, and Kim Sook won it. Kim Sook mentioned the members of Save Me, Holmes following The Manager, and as she called each member's name, she said, "Thank you to team leader Narae as well," naturally mentioning Park Narae, who has been at the center of controversy, drawing attention.
Kim Sook also told the production team, "I received this award thanks to many people," and promised, "As a meaning of receiving this award, I will go on location to an island; I will definitely leave the island with Joo Woo Jae." She added warmly, "This year is my 30th anniversary since debut. I want to thank Yu Jae-seok, Song Eun I and Lee Young Ja, who held on when I said I would quit over the past 30 years."
