Broadcaster Jang Sung-kyu showed tears of emotion in a winter camping content video posted on his channel 'Manlijangseonggyu.' On the 21st, Jang Sung-kyu released a video filmed at a campsite located in Paju, Gyeonggi Province, together with broadcasters Kim Ki-hyuk and Jeon Min-gi. In the video, he said, "I have something to boast about," revealing that the 'Kkokkomu' team recently received an award at the SBS New Year ceremony.

Upon hearing the news of the award, when Jeon Min-gi and Kim Ki-hyuk congratulated him, Jang Sung-kyu also mentioned the praise he received at last year's KBS Drama Awards. He emotionally said, "Someone sent me screenshots of comments, and I looked through more than 300 comments, all of which were positive. At some point, I found myself crying without realizing it." He added, "In the years I've been broadcasting, I've never received such praise. It felt very comforting."

At the '2025 KBS Drama Awards' held on December 31 last year, Jang Sung-kyu received much praise for approaching child actor Kim Geon-woo, who was nervous and unable to continue speaking properly, kneeling down to meet his eye level and continuing the interview. Netizens responded positively to his thoughtful hosting, commenting, "It was a very nice sight," "Definitely different because he's a dad," "It was heartwarming," and "Cheer up, Jang Sung-kyu."

Through his account, Jang Sung-kyu expressed about the fans' comments, "Was I going through menopause, or was I desperately in need of compliments? I don't know why I feel so happy and tearful reading the comments. I already feel like I've received a lot of New Year's blessings." This shows how deeply moved he was by the support from his fans.

Meanwhile, Jang Sung-kyu went through a difficult time after being embroiled in controversy over his alleged 'bystander' behavior related to workplace bullying suspicions surrounding the late MBC weathercaster Oh Yo-anna, who passed away in September last year. At that time, he faced difficulties due to malicious comments that even mentioned his family. Jang Sung-kyu stated, "When my name was first mentioned, there were other details that upset me, but compared to the pain of the deceased and the bereaved family, I judged it to be a pain not even worth a speck of dust, so I chose not to correct it and remained silent."

He added, "At that time, as a senior in the same broadcasting field, I thought I understood well what the deceased's worries were and how she felt, so I wanted to empathize and understand her feelings." Jang Sung-kyu explained that since he saw her resolve to bravely overcome difficulties whenever she talked about her hardships, he judged it to be the kind of difficulty one might experience in the workplace. He expressed, "Therefore, I deeply regret not acting more proactively at the time, and I am very sorry to the deceased and her family."

Jang Sung-kyu has recently resumed communication with his fans through positive responses and is gathering anticipation for his future activities. His sincere demeanor and emotional expression are touching many people.
