Broadcasting luminary Jun Hyun Moo secured his first Grand Prize (Daesang) at the prestigious KBS Entertainment Awards after an impressive career nearing two decades. The triumph, however, carried a poignant note as he candidly shared personal struggles during his acceptance.

The ceremony, held on December 20th at the KBS New Hall, was a glamorous affair hosted by Lee Chan Won, Lee Min Jung, and Moon Se Yoon. Jun took the stage with a mix of surprise and humility, acknowledging that despite multiple past nominations, this was his inaugural Daesang win at KBS in six years. “I honestly can’t believe this. Thank you so much for giving me such a big award,” he expressed with gratitude, viewing it as inspiration to strive harder.

Yet, the night was shadowed by a heartfelt confession. Jun revealed enduring a strenuous period due to his father’s illness, striking a balance between delivering laughter on-screen and providing care off-screen. “These days have been very tough,” he admitted. “I wish to become someone my father is proud of. It’s been a challenging end of the year, and I hold hope that 2026 will usher in positivity.”

Highlighting the event, other esteemed nominees included Kim Sook, Kim Young Hee, Kim Jong Min, Park Bo Gum, Boom, and Lee Chan Won.
