"2009 KBS Entertainment Awards" - KBS2 TV, Saturday 10:15 P.M.
The top prize of "KBS Entertainment Awards" went to emcee Kang Ho-dong for the second year in a row. It is rare for a variety show host to win back-to-back and there was much talk before the ceremony not only because Kang is the sort of love-him-or-hate-him character but also because he and rival Yoo Jae-seok are the two dominant forces in the Korean entertainment business. But the power of "Two Days and One Night" segment in variety program "Happy Sunday" also stood strong as ever this year, maintaining its reputation as an irreplaceable show by claiming the most trophies at the event.
The highlight of the night came when comedienne Kim Shin-young, who won Best Newcomer in the Show/Entertainment MC category, gave her now-legendary acceptance speech. As soon as she started her speech with "I didn't even win Best Newcomer in Comedy", she broke down completely and started crying hysterically. She started to say something again but went right back to crying like a baby. It was one of those rare, touching moments that one can only witness during award shows. She had unintentionally entertained the viewers and moved their hearts by crying during the best moment of her life. She cried innocent tears with absolutely no agenda that she even mentioned [popular variety program] "Infinity Girls" during the speech. It was the first time in a long time that I saw real tears on television.
