LG Hello Vision announced on the 8th that its flagship long-running program "Notable Women" received the "Gender Equality Culture Content of the Year" award at the "2026 Gender Equality Culture Awards."
The "Gender Equality Culture Awards" recognize individuals, organizations, and content that have contributed to spreading gender equality culture through creation and activities across diverse fields such as culture, arts, sports, and tourism. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism sponsors the awards, while the Korea Women’s Cultural Network Association and Women’s Newspaper Co., Ltd. organize and host them.
"Notable Women" was highly praised for authentically capturing the challenges and lives of female professionals who are breaking down prejudices across Korean society, building their own domains, challenging stereotypes about occupations, and expanding social consensus.
This documentary has highlighted the vivid daily lives of women who proactively forge their own paths without being constrained by gender, age, or regional limitations. Since its first broadcast in 2022, it has continued for five years across nine seasons, establishing itself as a long-running program.
Notably, the series identified 109 female professionals sweating it out proudly in their respective fields, including traditionally male-dominated occupations such as subway institutional investors, shipyard welders, scrap yard operators, and delivery drivers, delivering deep resonance and motivation to viewers.
Its performance on online platforms is also noteworthy. On LG Hello Vision’s official YouTube channel "Hello Life," "Notable Women" recorded a single-video peak view count of 12.58 million, while cumulative views across all seasons surpassed 125.9 million.
Ryu Bok-yeol, lead producer at LG Hello Vision, stated, "Thanks to the 109th protagonists who have quietly walked their own paths over the past five years and the viewers who enthusiastically responded to their stories, we were able to receive this meaningful award." He added, "Moving forward, we will continue to genuinely support women in their 20s and 40s living fiercely across Korean society and contribute continuously to broadening gender-equal occupational perceptions and a warm social consensus through their voices."
Meanwhile, "Notable Women" is currently airing its ninth season. It broadcasts every weekday morning at 7 a.m. on Deul Life, CH.U, StoryTV, UMAX, YTN2, and Yonhap News TV JOB, and at 4:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. on LG Hello Vision’s regional channel 25. Broadcast highlights and key clips are also available on LG Hello Vision’s official YouTube channel "Hello Life."
