'National MC' Yoo Jae-suk has once again set a historic record in broadcasting. Yoo Jae-suk won the grand prize at the '2025 MBC Entertainment Awards' held on December 29 at the MBC Media Center in Sangam-dong, Seoul. This marks his 9th win at MBC and a total of 21 grand prizes when combined with terrestrial broadcasters and the Baeksang Arts Awards, an unprecedented achievement.

This year's competition for the grand prize was fiercer than ever. Strong candidates such as Jeon Hyun-moo, Kian 84, Jang Do-yeon, and Kim Yeon-kyung competed, but the trophy ultimately belonged to Yoo Jae-suk. Upon taking the stage, Yoo Jae-suk expressed, "I sincerely thank my parents, my wife Na Kyung-eun, and the production team of 'What Do You Do When You Play?' along with Ha Ha and Joo Woo-jae" and first credited his colleagues.

In particular, Yoo Jae-suk's thoughtful consideration shone through in his acceptance speech. He stated, "I want to express my gratitude to Park Jin-joo, Lee Mi-joo, and Lee Yi-kyung, who have worked hard until they left the show this year," mentioning the names of members who are not currently with them, adding warmth to the scene.

Having maintained his position at the top for over 20 years, he still expressed his determination not to stop challenging himself. Yoo Jae-suk reflected, "I received my first grand prize in 2005 and now in 2025, I have received my 21st grand prize," and declared his unique ambition to strive for 30 awards, receiving applause.
