This special, hosted by MC Kim Seung-hyun and with writers Ryu Young-hye and Han Song-yi, was noted for its ability to deliver the meaning of literacy in a friendly way through music and songs, combining public interest messages with entertainment.In particular, 'Kim Seung-hyun's Gayo Bonsek' is evolving beyond simply playing music to become a program where listeners actively participate and create stories. Since the revamp in March, the program has expanded communication with listeners by strengthening participation and storytelling through unique daily corners.Representative segments include 'Following Legends, Following Gayo', which turns legends and folktales from across the country into musical dramas; 'One Story, One Slogan', which turns listeners' traffic disaster stories into safety slogans; and 'Challenge! Catch the Ending Song!', which combines live performances by singers with listener voting. The program's characteristic is its ability to incorporate public values such as local culture and traffic safety into music and participatory content, while not missing out on popular elements like nostalgic songs and live performances.This award is significant in that it recognizes the efforts to harmonize listener participation and public interest while staying true to the essence of a music program.PD Lee Seon-yeong (writer Nam Hyo-min), who directed the family love special 'I'm a K-Dad for the First Time!' from the same broadcaster, also won in the Radio Current Affairs&Culture category. This work, focusing on family and the role of fathers, prompted listeners to reflect on the meaning of family in everyday life through radio.At the 319th 'PD of the Month Award', the winners included KBS's 'Documentary Insight - Bears Descend on Aging Japan' in the TV Current Affairs&Documentary category, MBC's 'Real Story Detectives - Mystery of Death at Jangseong Livestock Market' in the TV Culture&Information category, SBS's 'Bizarre Love' in the TV Entertainment category, EBS's 'Lightning Man - The Day Lightning Becomes a Festival' in the TV Drama category, Ulsan MBC's 'Hwangbangsan Toad' in the TV Local category, and Global Gwangju Broadcasting GGN's 'May 18th No North Korean Involvement - Pyongyang's Records, Gwangju's Truth' in the Radio Local category.
