Winners and performances from the 2016 KBS Entertainment Awards

With the year coming to a close, broadcasting station KBS once again be held their annual Entertainment Awards to honor their comedy and variety show members for their hard work and success. 

The show took place on Saturday, December 24th at 9:15PM at the KBS and was broadcast live on KBS2. Known for having a lot of hilarious collaboration stages between idol groups and comedians, the special stages at the show were greatly anticipated by fans.

While the performances were great, fans were excited to see the hosting as well. Actor Park Bogum served as host alongside Music Bank co-host Irene of Red Velvet. With Park Bo Gum and Irene having showed enough chemistry to have sparked dating rumors in the past, fans were definitely happy to see the two working together once again.

Unnies opened the show with their performance of hit song “Shut Up.” The group surprised the audience by performing with cast member Tiffany, who left the show earlier in the year.
