"'2025 SBS Entertainment Awards' ceremony had the audience laughing from the start thanks to Lee Seo-jin's uninhibited wit and unexpected reactions. But opinions on this are somewhat divided."
On the 30th, at the 2025 SBS Entertainment Awards, as the ceremony began, Lee Seo-jin expressed excitement, saying, "This is my first entertainment award across the three terrestrial broadcasters. I think it will be more fun than the acting awards."
At the opening stage, Cho Hye-lyeon, Lee Sang Min, Lee Hyun-i, Lee Chaeyeon and Park Ji-hyun transformed into 'All New Day Project' to perform the FAMOUS stage. When Lee Suji later asked, "How would you evaluate the stage?", Lee Seo-jin answered without hesitation, "It's grotesque. It was fun," provoking laughter at the scene. In response, *Yeonseok** replied, "It feels like he's looking at me. He can't read the room," and Yu Jae-seok also added, "He was eating a lollipop earlier. The writer quickly took it away," adding, "He's a brother I like, but he's really childish," which added more laughter.
When asked, "If you were to serve someone again, who would you choose?", Lee Seo-jin answered, "Lee Suji, who appeared in the first episode and ate sundae." When Lee Suji asked, "These days I've switched to bone hangover soup, but can you also pick the bones out?", Lee Seo-jin firmly said, "Stop eating so much now," which elicited laughter. Lee Suji smiled, saying, "Still the same." When Jun Hyun-moo said, "I want to recommend serving Lee Kyung-kyu," Lee Seo-jin and Kim Kwang-kyu wittily replied, "Our season is over. All bookings are finished."
Later, as the nominees for the best couple UP award were announced, the secretary team's Lee Seo-jin and Kim Kwang-kyu were called, raising expectations. Lee Seo-jin described Kim Kwang-kyu as "a boil on the little toe," explaining, "It means you don't need it, but if it's gone, you feel empty — in a good way." But when Kim Kwang-kyu asked, "How is it after being together for several months?", he said, "It's better to cut out a boil. It's better to be without a little toe," which brought more laughter.
However, the honor of the award went not to 'the secretary team' but to Yoo Yeonseok–Yu Jae-seok of 'Whenever there's a chance'.
A random dance time was also held during the ceremony. When the camera pointed at Lee Seo-jin, he couldn't hide his embarrassed expression, and when asked to "wink," he shook his head and covered his face. Cha Taehyun said, "Lee Seo-jin, I don't think he'll come again. He might go home like this," drawing laughter. Indeed, Lee Seo-jin, whose ears even turned red, was captured, and the venue became a sea of laughter.
Also, in the male category of the show-variety grand prize, Lee Seo-jin and Kim Kwang-kyu of the secretary team won. Kim Kwang-kyu said, "I am grateful as if my father is watching from heaven," in his remarks. Lee Seo-jin said, "It got so long it became tedious and I almost cursed, but you gave us the award; since you even gave us an award, I'll consider the next season," and added, "Thanks to the production team, and thank you to the cast."
After the broadcast, netizens showed mixed reactions, with some saying, "He can't read the room; isn't he too frank?" while others said, "That's precisely Lee Seo-jin's charm," and "That frankness is funny," showing heated interest.
