SBS Entertainment Awards Rescheduled

In a significant shift in programming, the renowned 'SBS Entertainment Awards' will now take place in January 2025. This decision comes in the wake of the heartbreaking Jeju Air crash at Muan Airport, which deeply affected the nation and prompted broadcaster SBS to reconsider their year-end festivities.

Original Plans Altered

According to exclusive details from Star News on December 31, the original plan was to air the awards on December 31, 2024, at 8:40 PM, hosted at the SBS Prism Tower located in the bustling district of Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul. However, out of respect for the victims and the ongoing period of national mourning, SBS has decided to cancel the event instead of proceeding with the planned celebrations.

SBS's Unique Approach

In contrast to other networks that opted for a private pre-recording format for their year-end award ceremonies, SBS took an unexpected stance by announcing on December 30 that there would be no recordings held for the 'SBS Entertainment Awards' under the current circumstances. This unique approach reflects the broadcaster's sensitivity to the mood of the nation and their commitment to respecting the memory of those lost in the tragedy.
