2020 KBS Entertainment Awards (2020 KBS 연예대상)

I'd like to share my gratitude with everyone here once again,

all of you who filled this hall with your applause today.

(This hall was filled with applause and shouts.)

The weekends began to look different...

along with the rise of confirmed cases.

Hello!

I've never put on...

a concert like this in my life.

(We can only miss each other by the touch of our fingertips.)

(The variety shows aired on KBS became your friends in 2020.)

It's your time to meet the best entertainers in Korea...

who created the hottest issues in the year 2020.

You're watching the 2020 KBS Entertainment Awards.

Hello, I'm your host, Jun Hyun Moo.

It's nice to be here. I'm Jin Se Yun.

Hello, I'm Kim Joon Hyun.

Yes.

A year ago, we'd hear loud applause and cheers...

when we greeted everyone,

but today... I really can't believe this.

- We're on this stage all alone. - You're right.

The 2020 KBS Entertainment Awards...

decided to air this show...

with the minimum number of staff for the sake of everyone's safety.

We may be all alone in this huge hall,

but if you tune in to join us,

I believe the awards will be more passionate than ever.

You're right. Please join us in front of your TV...

with delicious late-night snacks...

for the next three hours to remember...

the best KBS variety shows of this year.

The 2020 KBS Entertainment Awards...

prepared the most special performances...

in the history of 2020 KBS Entertainment Awards.

- Joon Hyun. I didn't expect you... - Yes?

- to bring up snacks already. - Late-night snacks are a must.

They should set the table and enjoy this moment.

You're right. Please turn your master bedroom or living room...

- into this stage. - That's right.

As Se Yun mentioned, we may be here alone,

but I'd like to remind you once again...

that our special performances are more splendid than ever.

A total of seven programs are nominated...

to be selected as the Variety Show of the Year...

purely with your votes.

(2020 KBS Entertainment Awards, Variety Show of the Year)

- Give us just a minute. - A minute.

The year 2020 had been very depressing,

but I believe these shows on KBS made a lot of people laugh.

The nominees are all very amazing.

It's a fierce competition.

I'm starting to look forward to their special performances.

- You two will perform too, right? - Yes.

I heard that Joon Hyun...

showed off how good he's at singing.

- I did show off a little, but... - So you showed off.

I'm not sure if I'm any good.

But I prepared for this with a jolly heart.

- I see. - Yes.

- Right now... - Hyun Moo, I heard that...

you tried doing hip-hop.

- Yes, I tried doing hip-hop. - I see.

I'm worried my performance might become the hottest issue.

- It might be too big? - Yes.

- Will it be that amazing? - Yes.

Do look forward to it. I'm fully prepared for this.

- And it's with a legendary artist. - You're right.

- Look forward to seeing who it is. - I see.

We really look forward to seeing his amazing performance...

- very soon. - Yes.

seven special performances from our nominees.

Let's find out who will start us off.

They might win 2 years in a row. Here to win the 2nd time,

the members of "The Return of Superman"...

have prepared a very special performance for Christmas.

It's a performance between the dads and their children.

The little ones prepared a special dance,

so please stay tuned.

Nominee six for the Variety Show of the Year.

Let's watch the special performance for "The Return of Superman".

I hope to see a world where all children...

can freely breathe without getting sick.

We hope we can play and run...

without worries.

That tree is dancing.

Microphone check!

(The little ones have a dance party to their favorite song.)

(to all children who had a tough time this year)

(Next year will be much better than this one!)

(Let's overcome this together just as we always have.)

(So watch me bring the fire and set the night alight)

(Until the day kids around the world can smile brightly again,)

("The Return of Superman" sends you a happy dynamite.)

All together!

Everyone, what is the best show?

- Number 6! - Number 6!

(What is the best show? Number 6, "The Return of Superman")

- Number 6. - Number 6.

Number six.

That is such a tough match.

They sang carols and even BTS' cover songs.

It was touching and cute.

I know they're really busy,

but I hope BTS gets a chance to watch that video.

- Do you? - There was a dancer,

a visual, and an entertainer. They had it all.

- Yes. - Yes.

But there's one thing we can't help but wish for.

Like Yeon Woo and Na Eun said,

I hope the day these kids can run around outside...

all they want comes soon.

Yes, I'm sure there are many people...
