'Rookie Director Kim Yeon-koung' made history in entertainment by sweeping 6 awards at the '2025 MBC Broadcasting Entertainment Awards' held on December 29 at the MBC Media Center in Sangam-dong, Seoul. The touching growth pains of underdogs, who were familiar with defeat, moved the hearts of viewers and were recognized as the best program of the year without a doubt.

On this day, the 'Rookie Director Kim Yeon-koung' team successively claimed Rookie Award (Kim Yeon-koung), Hot Issue Award (Boo Seung-kwan), Best Teamwork Award (Wonder Dogs), Best Couple Award (Kim Yeon-koung·Inku-shi), and Entertainment Person of the Year Award (Kim Yeon-koung). The highlight was undoubtedly the 'Entertainment Program of the Year Award'. This award, selected by 100% viewer vote, proved that the program's authenticity resonated with the public.

Immediately after winning the Rookie Award, Kim Yeon-koung stated, "It is even more meaningful to receive so much love with the theme of volleyball. Seeing that I received the Rookie Award despite not being a broadcaster seems to mean that I should do broadcasting whenever I can in the future," sharing her witty thoughts. She continued, "Just like I received both the Rookie Award and MVP in the past V-League, I will aim for the grand prize this time as well," expressing her confidence as a candidate for the grand prize and heating up the atmosphere on site.

Director Kwon Rak-hee, who was in charge of the production, emphasized the essence of the program in his acceptance speech. He expressed, "Our program is not about the stories of those who are familiar with victory or famous, but about the stories of underdogs who are familiar with defeat and not famous. It is a program written with the sweat and tears of the players, and the Wonder Dogs team that participated together is truly amazing."
