Then, on January 29, 2025 (KST), at the “2024 SBS Entertainment Awards,” the actress was celebrated for her presence on the show. Accepting the “Rising Star Award,” Ji Ye Eun started off her speech with an uncontrollable giggle…

Being here in this moment is something… [Giggles] Something I’m truly grateful for. I’m so overwhelmed right now…

…except she soon burst into emotional tears that left her incomprehensible!
