The MBCDrama Awards was broadcast on tape. The MCs were Kim Sung-ju and Choi Soo-bin.
MC Kim Sung-joo took to the stage that day and began the awards ceremony in earnest.
"Today, prior to the awards ceremony, we would like to express our deepest condolences to the victims of the unexpected plane crash," the statement read. "All actors, including those involved in the MBC TV series, have joined together to offer our condolences to the bereaved families."
"My heart is heavy, but I would like to express my heartfelt condolences to everyone who has brought comfort and inspiration to viewers throughout 2024, starting with the awards for the main characters of the MBC TV series.
At around 9:07 a.m. on December 29, 2024, Jeju Air Flight 7C2216 from Bangkok, Thailand attempted to land on the runway at Muan International Airport.
While watching the plane, the plane crashed. The plane collided with the outer wall of the runway, partially destroying it and causing a fire. There were 181 people on board, including 157 passengers and 6 crew members, and rescuers were called to the scene.
All but two passengers died. In response, MBC canceled the broadcast of the 2024 MBC Drama Awards, which was scheduled to air on December 30 last year, and instead aired a pre-recorded version on the same day.
