The 2020 MBC Entertainment Awards has finally awarded the variety stars and shows that lit up the network this year!

Among the daesang awards candidates included Kim Gu Ra, Lee Young Ja, Park Na Rae, Jeon Hyun Moo, and Kim Sung Joo. But among the big names, Yoo Jae Suk soared high and took home the grand prize.

On December 29, the 2020 MBC Entertainment Awards were held with Jun Hyun Moo, Jang Do Yeon, and Ahn Bo Hyun as MCs. The event was strict about implementing the restrictions to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Everyone wore masks, social distancing was followed, individual partitions were set between tables, and trophies were placed on a table for the winners to pick up, reducing hand-to-hand contact.

Yoo Jae Suk Is On Top

During the night's ceremony, Yoo Jae Suk took home the Daesang (Grand Prize), following his notable work on MBC's "How Do You Play?" this year. It can be recorded that Yoo Jae Suk receiving the award is his seventh time from the MBC ceremony, including winning with the "Infinite Challenge" cast in 2007.

Yoo Jae Suk was almost out of words during his speech, but he somehow managed to share his gratitude and said that he didn't expect the award after 'Infinite Challenge.' 

The Variety Star Wearing A Lot Of Gratitude

Yoo Jae Suk thanked his parents and father-in-law in the event and went on to thank his wife, saying, "I'm also so proud and grateful that I'm the husband of Na Kyung Eun." 

The famous personality also shared his love for his children Ji Ho and Na Eun.

Yoo Jae Suk did not let the opportunity pass to thank the How Do You Play? producing director Kim Tae Ho and the entire staff members and producing directors. He shared, "I want to have dinner with you once COVID-19 calms down." He then continued expressing his thanks to many writers and staff.

Moreover, the variety star thanked Jo Se Ho, Lee Juk, Yoo Hui Yeol, Uhm Jung Hwa, Jessi, Hwasa, Jung Jae Hyung, Defconn, Kim Jong Min, and Rain. More than anything, he shared that he wants to give all the honor of the award to [Lee] Sang Soon, and to Lee Hyori.
