At the 37th Korea PD Awards held on the 15th, Kim Chang-wan, Lee Young-ji, Lee Chan-won, and Lee Soon-jae, who won the radio host, TV host, and singer and actor awards, were the main characters, but Lee Soon-jae did not attend the ceremony.
Lee Soon-jae, who played an active role in 'GaeSori', won the actor category of the cast award selected by the producers on this day. However, Lee Soon-jae did not appear at the awards ceremony, and the CEO of the agency attended instead and won the award on behalf of him.
The representative of the agency said "The teacher was not able to attend because he was a little uncomfortable" and "The teacher thanked the people involved in the Korean PD Awards and the judges. (The teacher) is a little sick. A lot of encouragement and support is needed. I would appreciate it if you could cheer me up once,' he said.
According to a media report on the day, Lee Soon-jae missed the awards ceremony because of his poor mobility. Lee Soon-jae's aide said in this media that `Although his health has improved a lot, he has difficulty moving because he has lost muscle strength in his legs due to his old age. It was conducted as a deputy prime minister because he did not want to be helped or helped by people."

However, while participating in the play 'Waiting for Godot' in October last year, he got off the train following the opinion of his doctor that he needed a three-month break due to health problems.
Fortunately, Lee Soon-jae, who recovered his health, attended the "2024 KBS Acting Awards" and shone. Lee Soon-jae, who won the grand prize for 'Gae-sori', said "After living for a long time, this day comes. "I was always preparing for it, saying, 'One day I'll have a chance, but I got this beautiful award, this precious award today." "A performer should be judged only by acting. Viewers who have come here and encouraged me, viewers who are watching, have been indebted and helped me a lot throughout my life. Thank you."I was moved by how I felt about winning the first acting award in my life."
