Joint Winners at 2024 SBS Drama Awards: Will There Be Duplication of Last Year’s Daesang Results?

Excitement Builds for the 2024 SBS Drama Awards

As the date approaches, fans are buzzing with anticipation for the upcoming SBS Drama Awards 2024, scheduled for December 21st at the SBS Prism Tower in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul. This year’s ceremony will be hosted by the charismatic trio of Shin Dong-yeop, Kim Hye-yoon, and Kim Ji-yeon, further heightening the excitement surrounding the event.

What to Expect from This Year’s Ceremony

Among South Korea’s three major broadcasting companies, SBS is known for generating the highest level of enthusiasm among drama aficionados. This year, viewers are eager to see which talented actors will shine and who will ultimately walk away with the coveted Daesang award.

While some projects fell flat, such as “The Escape of the Seven,” most of the SBS dramas released this year—including “Flex X Cop,” “Connection,” “Good Partner,” “The Judge from Hell,” and “The Fiery Priest 2” —have captivated audiences and achieved remarkable success.

Previous Controversies Loom Over Awards

The success of SBS dramas makes predicting the winners this year particularly challenging. The previous ceremony faced significant backlash for the number of joint awards granted, with multiple winners for both the Daesang and Best New Actor categories. Notably, the prestigious Daesang was controversially shared by Lee Je-hoon and Kim Tae-ri, resulting in an unexpected moment where the two engaged in a game of rock-paper-scissors to determine the order of their acceptance speeches.

The decision to award every nominee in the Best New Actor category sent shockwaves through the fandom. Kang Yoo-seok, Kwon Ah-reum, Kim Do-hoon, Yang Hye-ji, Lee Shin-young, Lee Hong-nae, and Jung Soo-bin all walked away with awards, despite the significance of this honor being limited to a single accolade in a rookie actor’s career. Reactions to other categories, including Best Actor and Best Drama, were similarly disappointing.

Preparations for the 2024 Ceremony

Given last year’s controversies, concerns are mounting among SBS fans as the 2024 awards ceremony approaches. The nominees for this year’s Daesang include “Connection” star Ji Sung, “Good Partner” actress Jang Na-ra, “The Judge from Hell” lead Park Shin-hye, and Kim Nam-gil from “The Fiery Priest 2.” Many fans are keen to see if SBS will successfully restore its honor as a prestigious celebration of drama talent.
