MBC's variety show 'I Live Alone' has won the prestigious TV Variety Program Award at the 37th Korea PD Awards.

The Korea PD Awards honor producers and broadcasters who contribute to the development of free media and cultural advancement through broadcasting. The awards are considered one of the most respected ceremonies in the industry.

The winning episode was the 'I Live Alone – Kian84 Race Day in New York' special, which aired in November of last year.

The episode followed Kian84 as he challenged himself to run in the New York Marathon—one of the world’s six major marathons—after previously completing a full marathon at the Daecheongho Marathon. 

His emotional journey of overcoming personal limits and crossing the finish line deeply moved viewers. His dedication contributed to high viewership ratings and buzz, receiving enthusiastic support from the audience.

This same episode also won the 297th 'PD of the Month' award in the TV Variety category from the PD Association in December of last year. That recognition advanced it to the final round of the Korea PD Awards, where it ultimately secured the win. 

The jury praised Kian84’s determination to keep a promise to himself and never give up, noting the episode's powerful delivery of inspiration and emotional impact.

MBC’s 'I Live Alone' continues to be a beloved program that showcases the diverse lives of single-person households, setting trends in the portrayal of independent living. This award further cements the show’s influence and value.

The upcoming episode of 'I Live Alone', set to air on the 11th (Friday), will feature Red Velvet’s Joy in the “Joyful House Full of Home Care” segment, along with Jun Hyun Moo’s struggle with a severe case of laryngitis in “Finding Mumu’s Lost Voice,” raising expectations for what's to come.
