'2025 SBS Entertainment Awards' was filled with candid remarks amid laughter. Actor Lee Seo-jin and broadcaster Lee Kyung-kyu poured out unreserved statements at the ceremony, instantly lifting the atmosphere.
On the 30th, the broadcast of '2025 SBS Entertainment Awards' delivered unexpected frank comments amid the ceremony's characteristic tension, providing a unique amusement. In particular, Lee Seo-jin and Lee Kyung-kyu each touched on the ceremony's 'bare faces' in their own ways, turning the venue into a sea of laughter.
That day Lee Seo-jin attended the ceremony as a member of 'Bi Seo-jin'. He said, "It's my first time at an entertainment awards across the three terrestrial broadcasters," and added, "It seems it will be much more fun than acting awards," expressing expectation from the start.
Then on the opening stage Cho Hye-lyeon, Lee Sang Min, Lee Hyun-i, Lee Chaeyeon and Park Ji-hyun transformed into 'ALLDAY PROJECT' to perform ALLDAY PROJECT's 'FAMOUS'. After the stage ended, when Lee Suji was asked for her thoughts, Lee Seo-jin hesitated for a moment and said, "It's ugly. But it was fun," making the venue erupt in laughter. The audience laughed at his characteristically candid manner of speaking.
That day the male excellence award in the show-variety category went to Lee Seo-jin and Kim Kwang-kyu of 'Bi Seo-jin'. Kim Kwang-kyu delivered a touching remark, saying, "I feel like my father is watching over me from heaven." Meanwhile Lee Seo-jin once again drew attention with his blunt way of speaking.
He said, "It was so long that I was bored and exhausted and almost cursed, but they gave me an award," and caused uproarious laughter by adding, "Now that they've given me an award, I'll think about the next season." He went on to add, "The production staff worked hard, and I'm grateful to the cast as well."
Another topic that day was Lee Kyung-kyu, who received the lifetime achievement award. His 45-year veteran eloquence instantly dominated the ceremony's atmosphere. When Lee Kyung-kyu took the stage, he provoked laughter from the start by saying, "Turn down the music a bit. I'm still in the middle of my remarks."
He went on, "The crown jewel of the entertainment awards is the lifetime achievement award. It's not an award anyone can receive," and joked, "You have to have more than 40 years of activity without major incidents, and you should have won the grand prize at least once." He added, "The last condition is that you must have good character," and said, "So I'll take this lifetime achievement award as the last one I receive and they should abolish it altogether," drawing laughter.
But he soon changed his words, saying, "No. I'll receive it again next year. To pass 40 years you have to be safe," prompting Yu Jae-seok, who was watching, to retort, "I'm safe," which caused laughter once more. Lee Kyung-kyu responded playfully, saying, "People can be like that as they live," answering slyly.
The stage that day, which exchanged wit and frankness, remained a moment where entertainers' banter shone beyond a simple awards ceremony. '2025 SBS Entertainment Awards,' where laughter and satire coexisted, rather left a deep impression on viewers with its sincerity.
