On the 1st, Kim Sook shared her acceptance speech for winning the Best Variety Program Award at the 5th Blue Series Awards via her SNS, saying, "I didn't know so many people would love Netflix's 'Doraiver'."

She added, "I am truly grateful to fellow actors, staff, and officials who greeted me throughout the ceremony by saying they were watching closely. I also sincerely thank the Gonggu Box members who cast their precious vote and the 'Doraiver' fans who have always enthusiastically supported us."

She then specifically mentioned the members and production team she has worked with since the predecessor program, KBS 2TV's 'Hong Kim Dong Jeon.' Kim Sook emphasized, "Our members Jin-kyung, Se-ho, Woo-jae, and Woo-young, along with PD Park In-seok, writer Choi Eun-young, more writers and PDs, producers, directors, and all staff, ran together as one heart, which allowed us to achieve the great result of being nominated for 'Best Work.'"

In particular, she said, "It's been a very grateful time recently when Netflix gave wings again to a program that might have gradually been forgotten," retracing their journey from 'Hong Kim Dong Jeon' to 'Doraiver.'

She then encouraged viewers by saying, "'Doraiver' is about to welcome its sixth season. For those who haven't watched it yet, please start right now. You can find it on Netflix."

Kim Sook also expressed gratitude to the members who stayed until the end of the ceremony to congratulate her. She said, "I love our 'Doraiver' members so much for waiting until the ceremony ended to congratulate me," and added, "I am also very grateful to Eun-i unnie, who waited even after her own award presentation before rushing over."

Earlier, Joo Woo-jae, who won the Excellent Variety Program Award, also expressed his affection for 'Doraiver' members Kim Sook, Hong Jin-kyung, Jo Se-ho, and Woo-young by posting Jang Mun-ui (수상) on SNS.
