'Rookie Director Kim Yeon-koung' Season 2 is set to premiere next month. Prior to this, the show achieved a remarkable feat by winning both the Grand Prize and the Writing Award at the 53rd Korea Broadcasting Awards.

At the 53rd Korea Broadcasting Awards held on the 3rd, MBC's 'Rookie Director Kim Yeon-koung' won the Grand Prize and the Writing Award in the Entertainment and Variety TV category. The show is a project led by Kim Yeon-koung, known as the "legend of volleyball" who has returned as a rookie director, to establish her own team. It received high praise for its differentiated concept that organically combines sports and reality, along with its authentic storytelling.

Representing 'Rookie Director Kim Yeon-koung' on stage, PD Kwon Rak-hee expressed gratitude, saying, "Since volleyball is a sport where points can only be scored when someone receives and sets the ball for you, I was able to receive this award thanks to countless staff members and officials from the Korean Volleyball Association who worked together as one team to set the ball."

She continued, "Director Kim Yeon-koung expressed concern that too much raw footage was shown, so we prepared Season 2 with great sincerity and care. We look forward to presenting you with an exciting and impressive version in October." Her remarks not only conveyed gratitude but also heightened expectations for Season 2.

Song Hyun-min, the writer who won the Writing Award for 'Rookie Director Kim Yeon-koung', stated, "I had many concerns about whether a volleyball variety show could resonate with audiences, so I am deeply grateful for the great interest and this meaningful award." She added, "I would like to thank PDs Kwon Rak-hee and Choi Yun-young for proposing the story of world-class athletes journeying alongside underdog players as 'wonders.' Above all, writers strive more than anyone else to constantly observe and record from the closest possible position with participants, find stories within them, and creatively restructure them. I want to say thank you and acknowledge the hard work of my fellow writers."

Additionally, Yoo Han-sang, who handled sound for MBC's 'Rookie Director Kim Yeon-koung', received an individual award in the Sound Effects category, further enhancing the show's significance.
