"Thank you so much. I know very well that this award, both yesterday’s and today’s, was made possible by our NCTzens. I’m truly grateful. You keep telling me not to feel sorry, but I can’t help but feel a little sorry," Doyoung said, touched by the moment.

Reflecting on the audience’s support, he added:

"When I look at the audience from the stage, I see so many of you placing your hands over your hearts, even more nervous than I am. That makes me feel thankful, sorry, and just full of gratitude. Thank you for loving me more than I love myself. I’ll try to become someone who can love you more than I love myself. Thank you again."
