However, Ji Suk-jin said, “Kyung-gyu-nim, this is a remark that insults the SBS awards ceremony. Who doesn’t receive such a wonderful award? I will take comfort in seeing Tak Jae-hoon who won the ‘Journey’. If you have anything to say to Lee Ina, I will meet directly with you and try to solve everything. Thank you very much for the honorary employee award.

In the midst of this, on the 19th, a bitter article was posted on the community Theku that criticized the ‘SBS Entertainment Awards’, and it is spreading rapidly. Here was a column written by OSEN’s reporter that day. The reporter analyzed the background that SBS gave Ji Suk-jin the ‘Honorary Employee Award’, which is also a rare name, instead of the grand prize.

The reporter said, “Especially, the ‘Honorary Employee Award’ in the list of awards on this day made viewers tilt their heads. It is ambiguous to give the grand prize and the grand prize by creating an ‘employee prize’, and I am sorry to send it back empty-handed, so it raises questions about whether it is given in a way that matches the assortment.”

He continued, “I have to take care of one award, and the co-winner is noticing, so it was probably the ‘Honorary Employee Award’. Although it gave meaning to the award of ‘Miu Bird (My Little Old Boy)’ by saying it was ‘the first team grand prize’, it seems that the ‘Team Grand Prize’ was awarded to ‘Miu Bird’, which is a good player in viewership, because there was no outstanding performance in the first lecture this year.” He added.

‘My Little Old Boy’ MC Shin Dong-yeop received the grand prize at the ‘SBS Entertainment Awards’ on the same day and said, “I’m sorry (for receiving the group award). He talked about how he felt about winning the award.

Netizens who saw the column commented, “I think it’s something that Ji Suk-jin wouldn’t be able to do. It would have been better if he just didn’t give it to him.” It seems that they are making the award funny. Even if it is an entertainment award, shouldn’t it be given a mischievous award?” (View all comments)
