SBS reporters Noh Yu-jin, Bae Yeo-woon, and Jung Da-eun, along with SBS A&T's Seol Min-hwan, Choi Hye-young, and Kim Jong-tae, have won the Planning Report category of the 212th Monthly Broadcast Journalist Award, presented by the Korea Journalists Association, for their series on the "Forest Fire Cartel."

The report was highly acclaimed for its comprehensive investigation into the issues surrounding "locust-like" bidding by fraudulent forestry business entities, the illegal leasing of forestry certifications, and the government's failure to properly manage these operations.
