On December 21, the Korean Broadcasting System (KBS) held their annual year-end awards ceremony and honored some of South Korea's biggest stars for their entertainment contributions this year.
The 2013 KBS Entertainment Awards were held in Seoul at the KBS New Wing Open Hall on Saturday night and many popular stars took home trophies for their work in television over the past year.
The event was hosted by Seo In Guk, KARA member Goo Hara, and Shin Dong Yup.
Several K-Pop singers were counted amongst the list of winners this year including TVXQ member Changmin, Korean-American singer John Park, and SISTAR's Bora.
Changmin and John Park both won for variety show Our Neighborhood Sports, the former scoring the prize for Best Entertainer (Variety) and the latter for Best Rookie (Show/Entertainment). The program also nabbed the award for Best Teamwork.
Bora was also acknowledged for her hosting duties on Music Bank and proudly accepted the award for Best Rookie.
Running Man member and 90's idol Kim Jong Kook also took home the award for Best Entertainer in the Show/Entertainment category for his work on Escape Crisis No. 1 and not surprisingly Korea's number one MC, Yoo Jae Suk, earned the Eating Broadcast Award for Happy Together 3.
The award ceremony also featured performances from SISTAR, and Trouble Maker as well as a hilarious version of "Bar Bar Bar" where the cast of Mamma Mia joined Crayon Pop on stage in matching outfits and helmets.
