MBC variety shows connect generations together.

Right now, MBC entertainers who pioneer entertainment in Korea...

I'm Jun Hyun Moo, your host,

of the 2022 MBC Entertainment Awards. It's a pleasure to be here.

Hello, I'm Kang Min Kyung. It's nice to meet you.

Hello, I'm Lee Yi Kyung. Nice to meet you.

(Jun Hyun Moo, Kang Min Kyung, Lee Yi Kyung)

They're the business couple of "How Do You Play?"

Yi Kyung and Mi Joo opened Part One...

with an amazing performance.

Are you satisfied with your dance?

Honestly, dancing like this on a stage...

- was never a part of my life plan. - Right.

I feel a little bad...

because everyone's here together,

so I couldn't just sit still.

So I did my best to emulate a dancer. Was it okay?

- It was so good. - Right.

You're sweating as much as an idol singer. It's hot. Isn't it?

It's no joke.

The best part was how you tried to look so fatal.

It was the best part.

- Wasn't I fatal? - You were.

- Right. Thank you. - Right.

Honestly, I'm pretty good at dancing too.

I thought they'd call me, but I guess you took it from me.

Do you want to show us something?

What was your signature dance?

My signature dance? There was a lot.

It was so cute.

Can you do a simple shake?

I'm relieved...

- because I... - "The Manager" team is complaining a lot.

I was worried that "Trouble Maker"...

would end up becoming "Dirty Maker."

You gave me courage.

- I see. "Dirty Maker." Thank you. - Right.

We're joined by Kang Min Kyung as our partner this year...

on the 2022 MBC Entertainment Awards.

- Right. - Everyone's so happy about it.

- I was so surprised. - Me too.

- I was also... Yes? - I thought the time was finally here.

These days, on YouTube,

Min Kyung is so popular.

- She has a variety of alter egos. - She's popular.

You're super popular as the funny older sister who sings well.

I really like that nickname.

- Right. - MBC variety shows...

have been a comedic inspiration for me growing up.

So MBC variety shows...

- are like textbook examples for me. - Right.

So I'm really nervous today. Please take good care of me.

Right. Very good.

We're excited to see what you do on MBC variety shows next year.

To do so, you must be quick on your feet during live broadcasts.

- Right. - Can you show us how quick you are?

Do you have any special talents?

- There's a chant I always recite. - Yes?

- What is it? - "Let's endure it."

"You have to endure it. Life is about endurance."

To all my entertainment seniors sitting here today...

and to all the viewers, good job during 2022.

Let's endure 2023 too!

Right. That's what you made popular on your channel.

I did my best.

Some of the people who don't watch your channel...

- are wondering what you're doing. - That's right.

- You're telling them to endure. - Right. I'm sorry.

This is a popular saying and meme that has gone viral.

As you all know, this year MBC...

has continued to establish itself as a strong contender in entertainment.

Hyun Moo, after you climbed Mount Halla on "Home Alone,"

the reservation server to climb Mount Halla went down.

- Right. - And WSG Wannabe,

the project group on "How Do You Play?" topped the music charts.

It was incredible.

But that's not all. On "The King of Mask Singer,"

has exported its format to 55 countries across the world,

and it is enhancing the status of MBC variety shows.

This year was an active year for MBC variety shows.

That's right. With a variety of programs,

I believe that 2022 was a year...

where MBC connected the old and new generations,

pioneered trends, and spread throughout the world.

Right now, the 2022 MBC Entertainment Awards...

is being aired live in Japan through KNTV.

I believe that all of this was only possible...

because of the cast and viewers joining us today.

That's why we have prepared an award...

that can only be received if chosen by the viewers.

Yes, that's right. The winner of the Variety Show of the Year Award...

will be decided by the real-time votes of the viewers watching our show.

Of all the MBC variety shows aired this past year,

nine of the programs were chosen as nominees.

The program that receives the most votes...

will receive the honor of receiving the Variety Show of the Year Award.

Right.

I'm sure all of the entertainers,

production crews, and viewers...

would all want this award.

The dance must've been hard. You're still sweating.

I'm practically pouring out sweat.

- It's raining down. - Right.

- Please excuse me. - Right.

If you look at the bottom of your screen,

- Right. - you can see the nominees for this award.

Min Kyung, what must you do to vote for one of the shows?

Use your cellphones to text the name of the program you support...

by pressing the pound key followed by 0500.

Each text message will cost 10 cents.

- Right. - You can vote for more than one program.

However, you can't vote for one program more than once.

Please keep that in mind.

Give me a call, baby

Send me a text right now

Give me a call, baby

What are you doing?

Why would you boo me as soon as I open my mouth?

My gosh, you're so mean.

We'll start the votes...

for the Variety Show of the Year Award.

I'll start the countdown.

- Five, four, three, - Three,

- two, one! - two, one!

We'll start the votes now.

Before we start giving out the awards,

some special guests will announce the nominees...

for the Variety Show of the Year Award.

Can you give me a hint as to who they are?

I think you'll know as soon as I say it.

Everyone, bring up your energy!

Sir! Oh, my gosh.

This year we were known for our chemistry as being polar opposites,

and now we're here at the 2022 MBC Entertainment Awards!

How does it feel?

(They have opposing preferences and energy.)

Do you know why we got together today?

We're here to introduce the nominees for the Variety Show of the Year Award.

That's right. We're going to analyze...

the personality and characteristics...

of MBC variety shows with MBTI.

We'll be analyzing them perfectly.

First,

it's "E" versus "I."

"Home Alone."

The title is "Home Alone,"

so I would think it's more of an "I."

So I believe that it is an "I."

Next up is "How Do You Play?"

From start to finish,

- it's quite noisy. - Right.

- The program title itself... - yes.

is "How Do You Play?"

It means they want to go out!

What's the point of staying home? You should go out!

"How do you play?"

It has this kind of vibe.

That vibe is pretty precise.

Of course!

Next is "The King of Mask Singer."

I would think it's introverted.

- It's introverted? - Yes. An "I."

All introverted people want to wear a mask.

That's right.

- They're wearing a mask, - Right.

and you don't know who they are.

- But they're great singers. - They are.

It resonates in the hearts...

- of everyone watching. - Right.

They all wonder who they are. Then they take off their masks...

- and appear in glory. - Right.

They're shady.

Oh, my. I'm not sure what you mean by shady.
