On the 15th episode of KBS2’s variety show Boss in the Mirror (hereafter Boss in the Mirror), Jung Ho-young was shown revealing his ambition to win a KBS Entertainment Awards prize.
That day, after finishing cup food development with Yang Chi-seung, Jung Ho-young visited KBS. He said, “I worked hard on cooking this year, but I think I worked very hard on broadcasting too. At times I even danced and went on Morning Yard and sang. Because of that, I’m an entertainer who fits in anywhere.”
Jun Hyun-moo laughed and asked, “Is this about the company?” Jung Ho-young replied, “Doesn’t KBS hold the Entertainment Awards? If Chef Jung Ji-seon and I both don’t win, I wouldn’t care,” showing his desire for an award.
Chef Jung Ji-seon won the rookie award in 2023, the excellence award in 2024 and the popularity award in 2025, taking prizes three years in a row. By contrast, although Jung Ho-young appeared on Boss in the Mirror, he has gone four straight years without a win.
Jung Ho-young said, “It’s less about greed for an award and more like a medal given to a chef who performed well. Maybe that’s why I want it. I’m not usually greedy for awards. I want the Best Entertainer award,” and added, “I came to get my face seen by the people who hold very important votes. I’m an entertainer-chef. I’m a chef crazy about the Entertainment Awards,” he said candidly.
Without hesitation, Jung Ho-young walked into the entertainment center director’s office and said, “This year I started with Culinary Class Wars, had a good beginning, and appeared on Boss in the Mirror, Gag Concert and the Malja Show,” appealing that he had appeared on six KBS programs this year.
He added, “It’s not that I have other motives; I just wanted to meet and I’m very curious about the awards ceremony date. I just want the year-end to end warmly,” and said he hoped to win the Best Entertainer award.
Especially, Jung Ho-young said, “Jung Ji-seon has won too many awards. She won three years in a row,” and added, “On Boss in the Mirror, when one chef wins, the other chefs don’t. That’s why I haven’t won for four years,” expressing his earnest feelings.
Until the end, Jung Ho-young emphasized, “Chef Jung Ji-seon is doing well in Taiwan, so please take good care of her.” Watching this, Yang Chi-seung shot back, “You’re so petty. These days do people even bribe to get awards? If you’re good you get them all, right? Are you doing this because you can’t get one?” and delivered a blunt remark that made people laugh.
