This year, the 'KBS Entertainment Awards' will not feature a red carpet event.

On the 13th, KBS announced, "The red carpet for the '2024 KBS Entertainment Awards' scheduled for the 21st will not be held this year." KBS added, "Photos from the live broadcast, including award recipients and congratulatory stages, will be provided," and explained, "A delay of about 30 minutes is expected."

This decision appears to consider the recent chaotic situation following President Yoon Seok-yeol's declaration and lifting of martial law, the subsequent impeachment motion against the president, and the impeachment rallies held in Yeouido, where KBS is located. As a result, unusually, the '2024 KBS Entertainment Awards' will cancel the red carpet event and focus solely on the awards ceremony.

Meanwhile, the '2024 KBS Entertainment Awards' will be broadcast live on the night of the 21st at 9:20 PM from the KBS New Building Public Hall in Yeouido-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul. The MCs will be Lee Jun, Lee Young-ji, and Lee Chan-won. Teams from 2TV's '1 Night 2 Days,' 'Boss in the Mirror,' 'Immortal Songs,' 'The Return of Superman,' and 'Pyeonstorang,' as well as web variety shows 'Nopogi' and 'Limousine Service,' will grace the event. MC Yoo Jae-suk, announcer Jeon Hyun-moo, group Koyote's Kim Jong-min, group aespa's Karina, actor Moon Sang-min, 'Aileet' Min-ju, 'Tours,' and others are also expected to attend.
