At the same time, Choi Minjing won the gold medal in the women's 500m competition, a weak event in short track speed skating in South Korea, which was also the first time in history. Cui Minjing, who also received the award in 2022, said, "I am very happy to receive a meaningful award again after three years. I will work harder and show the better side at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina d'Ampezzo. ”

The MBN Women's Sports Awards, which was established in 2012, will award the MVPs of the athletes who have contributed to women's sports in Korea every month, and a year-end general award ceremony will be held in December.
