SBS occasionally hands out “President’s Special Award” or “Producer’s Choice” off-camera. “Exclusive” might refer to a winner never revealed on air. In 2024, rumors swirled that veteran actress Kim Sun-ah received a quiet commendation for her noona role in an early 2024 drama. The term “nunadrama” might index that speech. Minute 36 of Part 3 originally had a 2-minute gap in the broadcast version – filled with ads. The “exclusive” version allegedly restores that missing announcement.
Fans recall that during Part 3 of the 2024 SBS Drama Awards, several planned tributes were cut due to overrun, including a special stage titled “Nuna, Our First Love” – a medley of famous noona romance OSTs. “End36” could refer to minute 36 of a director’s cut, where this tribute finally appears. No official evidence, but a blurry fan photo from the rehearsal shows cue sheets labeled “NunaSpecial_End36.”
In Korean entertainment slang, nuna (누나) means “older sister,” but in drama context, it refers to noona romance – a popular genre where a younger man falls for an older woman. Iconic SBS examples include Romance Is a Bonus Book (2019) and The King: Eternal Monarch (2020). However, in 2024, the unofficial term “Nuna Drama” became a fan-coined umbrella for SBS’s Monday-Tuesday melodramas with strong female leads.
Could this keyword point to a 2024 SBS drama with a noona romance subplot? Candidates include The Judge from Hell (Park Shin-hye) or Good Partner (Jang Na-ra). But the word “nuna” isn’t in any official title – suggesting this is fan-labeled content.
