On the morning of December 22, the YouTube channel “DdeunDdeun” uploaded a new video titled “The 2nd Pinggyego Awards”.
In the video, the Subscriber Selected Best Work (Gyewon) award went to Gong Yoo, Lee Dong-wook, Jo Se-ho, and Yoo Jae-suk for their episode “The Return to the Lunar New Year Holiday Is Just a sorry,” which attracted more than 10 million views. However, only Gong Yoo was absent from the awards ceremony due to his personal commitments, so he sent a video of his acceptance speech.
Gong Yoo appeared in his message video and said hello, “Hi, I’m Yoo Gong”introducing himself by the nickname Yoo Jae-suk gave him in “Pinggyego”. He continued, “It is a real honor for me to receive the award for best work at the second Pinggyego Awards ceremony. It’s been 23 years since my debut, but this is the first time I received an award for best work. So I’m even happier.”
He also underlined, “And more than anything I think it’s a significant award since it was selected through Gyewon’s votes. And I’m also happy to have received this award, not alone, but together with Dong-wook, Se-ho and Jae-suk. Once again, thank you so much for giving me this heavy, big and happy award. I hope Pinggyego can continue to bring joy to many people in the future. And please love me too, Gong Yoo.”
He then added, “Ah and Jae-suk hyung, you texted me the day I aired on Yoo Inna Radio, saying ‘Gong Yoo, I enjoyed watching you on Yoo Inna Radio…’. You’re not angry, are you?” making everyone burst out laughing.
