Lee Seung Gi and 1N2D members win KBS Entertainment Daesang

[seungigi.livejournal.com]

The ’1 Night 2 Days’ team (Lee Seung Gi, Uhm Tae Woong, Lee Soo Geun, Eun JI Won, and Kim Jong Min) received KBS Daesang beating out other nominees.

At the ’2011 KBS Entertainment Daesang’ ceremony on December 24th, the ’1 Night 2 Days’ team won the well-deserved Daesang.

Despite the fact that Kang Ho Dong had announced retirement back in September leaving the rest of the members to carry ’1 Night 2 Days’, they have done a tremendous job of keeping the show one of the hottest shows ever.

The multi-talented yet modest Lee Seung Gi said, “Thank very much. When I heard that I was a nominee, I thought it wasn’t my place to be there. I worried that it would be not be right to the sunbaes who have come with me. I will happily accept it since the entire ’1 Night 2 Days’ team is receiving it together. I will think of it as an award from the viewers.”

Eun Ji Won shared, “I thank the viewers who made it possible for the program to be for 5 years. Thank you Kang Ho Dong hyungnim who was the biggest influence.” Lee Soo Geun said, “I want to share the award with my friend Byung Man. Kang Ho Dong hyungnim, I’ll come visit with the award.”

Originally KBS had named Kim Byung Man of ‘Gag Concert’, Shin Dong Yub of ‘Hello’, Yoo Jae Suk of ‘Happy Together Season 3′, Lee Kyung Kyu of ‘Qualifications of Men’, and Lee Seung Gi of ’1 Night 2 Days’ as nominees but the honor went instead to the entire team of ’1 Night 2 Days’.

To put Seung Gi's speech into context, he was the nominee on the list that came out before the award show (the other 1N2D members weren't on the list). Videos of them winning are available here (they're private so I can't embd).

Congrats to all of them! When F.O was still airing I would never even think of watching 1N2D because it looked so dull in comparison but I have a lot of love for this show now. They're all so funny and like a real family. Plus I love Na PD and his evil self.

I love Running Man too but I gotta admit it's been getting kinda boring lately, the first episodes and their format was the best I wish they'd bring that back. Yoo Jaesuk should win the MC Daesang though, that man is amazing,

Problem is his shows in KBS isn't doing that well and doesn't deserve Daesang.

Many people mistaken his Running Man and Infinity Challenge should had notch him an award in KBS but those programs are in MBC and SBS.

Happy Together while decent has seen its viewership decline over the years.

Yay for 1n2d team! It's my most fav variety show and their relationship is so amazing and adorable. It's also the longest Korean show that I ever watch.It's no doubt that MC Yoo is the best MC but I'm so annoying with the comments who easily thought MC Yoo should win for everything. MC Yoo has popular show at another station, so why can't other show who is also popular with Korean audience to win the award?
