Rescheduled Air Date
The highly anticipated 2024 KBS Drama Awards has officially announced a new air date following an unfortunate cancellation of its live broadcast. Fans of K-dramas can now mark their calendars for January 11 at 9:20 p.m. KST, when the pre-recorded ceremony will finally be aired.
Cancellation Due to Tragedy
Originally set for a live showcase on December 31, the event was postponed due to the devastating Jeju Air plane crash that occurred just days prior on December 29. While the awards ceremony proceeded as planned on New Year’s Eve, the sensitive timing prompted KBS to forgo the live spectacle in favor of a pre-recorded version, allowing for the necessary respect toward those affected by the tragedy.
Exciting Highlights to Anticipate
As the countdown begins to the rescheduled broadcast, audiences can look forward to exciting highlights from the night, including performances, critical moments, and, of course, the announcement of the prestigious Daesang (Grand Prize) nominees. Feel free to catch up on the nominees list before the event unfolds.
International Accessibility
For international fans, good news awaits! The 2024 KBS Drama Awards will be accessible with English subtitles on Viki, making it easier than ever for viewers around the globe to join in on the celebration of the year’s best dramas.
A Night of Tribute and Celebration
