In her speech, Kim So Yeon said, “I started off as an extra 28 years ago. That was an SBS drama, and I can’t believe that now I’m receiving such a huge award from SBS. I feel almost apologetic and wonder if I am allowed to receive an award like this. I am amazed and moved at what the director of ‘The Penthouse’ was able to show. Thanks to the lovable writer Kim Soon Ok, I was able to stand here today. I worried over every episode of ‘The Penthouse’ and whether it would do well, and my thanks and love to [husband] Lee Sang Woo, who was my healthy and optimistic mentor through it all.”
Honey Lee won the Top Excellence Award and mentioned her new husband in her speech. “I think I surprised everyone,” she said. “It happened after my drama ended. Thank you to those who congratulated me. I want to thank my other half, whom I will spend the rest of my life with, and I will share this happiness with him.”
