How they are happy tonight
They won’t be able to sleep tonight
Yes, it come to my mind that my first award
Was a whopping 6 years ago
Whopping 6 years ago? Can you remember that time?
Yes, I was so happy I cried so much
Then EUNBI, which one is happier
Being awarded by solo or group?
Ah, I cannot choose one
Yeah, I agree
You're also a regular winner at award ceremonies
You've received many rookie awards last year
You've received awards at several ceremonies
When is the time you remember the most?
I think the award I received for the first time is the most memorable for me as well
Since the rookie award is an award that can only be received once in a lifetime
I think it's the most memorable award in my life
Even among the top 4 winners of the Universal Hot Focus
There must be a team winning an award for the first time today
It will surely be a moment they will never forget
That's right, my beloved juniors
I hope you use this award as a stepping stone to grow into even greater artists
I will always support you
Fighting!
