The 2023 MBC Entertainment Awards took place at 8:30 PM KST on December 29 at the MBC building in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul. The event was hosted by actress Lee Se Young, broadcaster Jun Hyun Moo, and Dex.

Earlier, it was revealed that the 'Entertainer of the Year' award, given to comedians Yoo Jae Suk, broadcaster Jun Hyun Moo, and cartoonist Kian84, was reserved for the candidates for the Daesang (Grand Prize). All three were considered strong contenders for the award even before the ceremony.

As predicted by many, Kian84 was the one who took home the Grand Prize. Currently appearing on MBC shows such as 'Adventure by Accident' and 'I Live Alone,' Kian84's win was especially noteworthy as he has exclusively pursued his broadcasting career on MBC. With his original main profession being a webtoon artist, he is the first non-celebrity to win the Grand Prize.

Upon receiving the Grand Prize, Kian84 mentioned, "I laughed while watching MBC since I was young. I wanted to show (my appearance on TV) to my dad. I wasn't about to be a filial son, and I only received living expenses from him. I miss my father. It's regrettable that I couldn't show him something good even once."

He continued, "I am quite selfish, but I should be more generous in the future. When kids ask me for my autograph, I ask them 'What is your dream?' My mother recently said her acquaintance's son was in a difficult situation. After thinking for 30 minutes, I drew a four-leaf clover. I hope 2024 is a lucky year, and I don't know how long I'll be in broadcasting, but if people enjoy it, I'll do my best. Thank you."

Kian84 was born in 1984 and debuted in 2008 with the webtoon 'Nobyungga.' He later serialized 'Fashion King' and 'Bokhang King.' Since 2022, he has temporarily suspended his career as a webtoon artist and has been active as a broadcaster and artist.

Starting with MBC's 'I Live Alone,' he began full-fledged broadcasting activities, and recently, he received much love for his unique character in the new travel series 'Adventure by Accident.'
