SBS Entertainment Awards 2022: Complete List of winners

The 2022 SBS Entertainment Awards, presented by South Korea's leading broadcasting network, Seoul Broadcasting System (SBS), took place on Saturday, December 17, at SBS Prism Tower in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul.

The award ceremony, which recognized excellence across genres including variety, talk, and comedy shows on the SBS network, was hosted by Tak Jae-hoon, Jang Do-yeon, and Lee Hyun-yi.

The Daesang (Grand Prize) this year went to Running Man's host Yoo Jae-suk, making it his 19th Daesang overall. Jae-suk, who won a total of seven awards at the ceremony, was surprised to be declared the winner over Jee Seok-jin and Kim Jong-kook, the other hosts on the show, who were also nominated for the award.

Apologizing in his acceptance speech, Yoo Jae-suk said:

"I am very sorry to Seokjin and other hyungs for receiving it like this, although I did not expect it at all. [While] I’m receiving an award today, I think the ‘Running Man’ team won it together."

He further said:

"It’s definitely a great honor to be able to do variety for a long time, but we still have a lot of work to do. I think this year was the year to confirm that. As much as I’ve been loved by many people, I’ll try my best with the members and the production team to give you more laughter.”
