At the '2025 MBC entertainment awards' broadcast on the 29th, the late Jeon Yu-seong was announced for the lifetime achievement award, and his disciple Kim Shin-young accepted the award on his behalf.
The late Jeon Yu-seong left a deep impression as he received the lifetime achievement award at the '2025 MBC entertainment awards.'

Kim Shin-young, who had the relationship of professor and disciple, went on stage and swallowed her tears, unable to speak for a while. When she finally spoke, she said, "It has been 23 years since we met as teacher and student," and, choking up, added, "I wish the professor could have received this himself; he really troubled his disciple."
Kim Shin-young continued, "There is something the professor always said. He told us to laugh first if we want to make others laugh," and recalled, "He said he hoped you would be that happy." She pledged, "So I will be Kim Shin-young, the disciple of Jeon Yu-seong, who will be joyful first and make more people joyful," bringing a solemn mood to the venue.
Especially, Kim Shin-young said, "There is a daughter of the professor who is probably watching this award from Jirisan now," and continued. She said, "She asked me to be sure to tell him thank you for treating her father as an adult," and her eyes reddened as she relayed the message. Kim Shin-young then revealed, "Actually, the professor rarely attends award ceremonies like this," and added, "January 18 is the professor's birthday, so I stood here today." She added, "On his birthday I will go to Jirisan and present this award to him in person," making the venue solemn.
Kim Shin-young said, "I am honored to receive it on his behalf," and shouted, "I hope 2026 will be a year of joy for everyone. Professor, congratulations," and that one line left a lasting impression.
The late Jeon Yu-seong, who opened a new era of laughter, and his disciple's promise to carry on that meaning cloaked the end of the awards ceremony in deep emotion. The name of the late Jeon Yu-seong, who led an era with laughter, was once again deeply engraved amid his disciple's tears and pledge.<
