Every December, South Korea's three giant broadcasting networks: KBS, SBS, and MBC, organize their respective awarding ceremonies to recognize excellent works and performances in television series aired in a given year.

However, the award season this month is filled with grief as the South Korean drama industry mourned the death of the award-winning actor, Lee Sun-kyun, who died on December 27, 2023. Most of the winners dedicated their awards to him which made the events even more emotional.
