Writer Kim Eun-sook experienced a close call where the content of her new work was nearly revealed while reading her acceptance speech.

The 21st Seoul Drama Awards were held on the afternoon of the 2nd at the KBS Hall in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, hosted by actor Kim Nam-gil and MBC announcer Lee Jae-eun.

The Golden Bird Award, the highest honor of the ceremony, was presented to writer Kim Eun-sook, who penned dramas such as "Paris, My Love," "Goblin," and "The Glory."

Writer Kim Eun-sook took the stage for her acceptance speech, introducing herself as "Kim Eun-sook, a writer who has been writing dramas for 23 years."

She stated, "Lately, it is difficult even just to keep up with the world changing day by day, so I wrote my acceptance speech on paper. But when I finished writing and looked at it, I had written it on the back of a sheet. If you look at this and read it, it seems like quite a bit of my new work will be revealed, so I don't know what to do," eliciting laughter.

Following this, Writer Kim Eun-sook joked, "I like this ending scene," and said, "Thank you very much. Recently, I heard a foreign professor say, 'There is no crazy country that designates the day it created its own script as a holiday and rests. That is uniquely only in the Republic of Korea.'"

She added, "Tomorrow is Hangul Day. Taking this opportunity, I am truly grateful to King Sejong for allowing us to earn money and eat by using Hangul. Seeing people give acceptance speeches in our language makes me feel a sense of responsibility. I feel a sense of responsibility because Korean dramas are not just our own creative works but are global."

Finally, Writer Kim Eun-sook added, "As a creator, my heart is a bit dark these days. At times like this, I will hold tightly to sincerity and the spirit of the era, as well as the unchanging nature of these two words, and live my whole life as a drama writer who provides fun, tears, laughter, and moving experiences. Thank you for giving me such a big award."
