2021 SBS Drama Awards (2021)

On December 31, the 2021 SBS Drama Awards took place at the SBS Prism Tower in Seoul, hosted by Shin Dong Yup and Kim Yoo Jung. The biggest winners of the night were “Lovers of the Red Sky,” “Taxi Driver,” “One the Woman,” “Racket Boys,” and “The Penthouse,” which won the Daesang for Kim So Yeon. 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.”
