2024 KBS Entertainment Awards to Go Red Carpet-Optional
In a surprise move, Korean Broadcasting System (KBS) announced on December 13 that the red carpet portion of its upcoming 2024 KBS Entertainment Awards ceremony will not take place. The annual event, scheduled for December 21 at 9:20 p.m., is set to proceed as planned without the typical glamorous arrivals of celebrities from the entertainment industry.
According to an official statement by KBS, the decision to forgo the red carpet was made in response to the ongoing political protests in Yeouido, where KBS' headquarters are located. The decision aims to minimize disruptions during a time when South Korea is still grappling with its social and political landscape.
On December 21, Lee Joon, Lee Young Ji, and Lee Chan Won will take turns serving as the main hosts (MCs) of the ceremony. The entertainment awards show brings together talented artists from across various sectors, celebrating outstanding achievements in music, drama, and other creative endeavors in Korea's vibrant entertainment scene.
