Hwang Je-sung has been selected as a comedian who is expected to lead 2025.

At the "2025 Korea First Brand Awards" held on the 7th, Hwang was honored with the award in the "Gagman" category, which is expected to lead 2025.

Through an annual national consumer survey, the awards ceremony selects brands that are expected to lead the year in various fields of society, including economy, people, and culture.

Immediately after winning the award, Hwang Ja-seong said, "I think it's special because you guys picked this award. I will pay back the love you gave me for the rest of my life," he said.

"There are still many areas to be explored in our country. This year, I want to create content that can be enjoyed for a long time in a healthy and pleasant way," he said, raising expectations for this year's performance.

The emperor has been performing "laugh cheat key" in various programs such as radio DJs and standing comedies. SBS PowerFM's "Emperor Power of the Emperor" energizes listeners through active communication, and last year, he participated in Netflix's "Comedy Revenge" as a "Raspberry Team" with Park Na-rae and Lee Sang-joon to win.

On tvN STORY's "Kim Chang-ok Show 3" and comedy TV's "THE Delicious Guys," which are currently on air, they are bringing laughter to viewers every week with their amazing quickness and excellent ad-libs.
