MBC has revealed the hosts for its annual celebration of television acting. Broadcaster Kim Sung Joo and actress Lee Sun Bin will take charge of the 2025 MBC Drama Awards as its main MCs. This pairing brings together Kim Sung Joo’s extensive experience as the show’s regular host with Lee Sun Bin’s fresh perspective as a popular MBC drama star from this year. The live ceremony is scheduled for December 30, 2025, at the MBC Media Center Public Hall in Seoul.
Details of the 2025 Hosting Pair
Kim Sung Joo is no stranger to the MBC Drama Awards stage. His selection marks his seventh consecutive year as the event’s host, a role he has held steadily since 2019. A veteran television presenter known for shows like “King of Mask Singer,” he provides a familiar and reliable presence for the annual broadcast.
Joining him is Lee Sun Bin, who recently appeared in the MBC drama “To the Moon”. Her connection to MBC’s drama lineup from this year makes her a relevant choice. Furthermore, she shares a history with the awards show itself, having won the Best New Actress award at the 2017 MBC Drama Awards for her role in “Missing 9”. Her return to the awards ceremony after eight years, this time as a host, is a notable moment in her career.
The pair is expected to lead the ceremony with smooth chemistry.
Event Overview and 2025 Drama Lineup
The MBC Drama Awards is an annual year-end event that honors actors and the popular dramas broadcast on the Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) network throughout the year. The ceremony features a variety of awards, with the top honor being the “Grand Prize” (Daesang), awarded to the best actor or actress of the year.
This year’s competition will reflect a diverse slate of MBC dramas. The network offered viewers a wide range of genres in 2025. The lineup included titles such as “Motel California,” “Undercover High School,” “Crushology 101,” “Oh My Ghost Clients,” Lee Sun Bin’s “To the Moon,” and “Moon River”. This variety sets the stage for what is expected to be a competitive field for the major awards.
