IU on her acceptance speech for her winning Daesang at the 10th AAA
"Thank you. Thank you so much. The people i’m most grateful for are of course writer Lim Sang-chun, director Kim Won-seok and our dodong-ri family whom I love, only for today, more than my real family and was happy meeting them here. Thank you so much to my dodong-ri, WLGYT team.
I’ve received so many awards today, but I realized I never got to properly thank the people at my company. So first, to EDAM Entertainment and our IU Team, I want to say thank you so much. Truly, thank you.
And to my beloved UAENA, who always keep me from losing my way, thank you. Also, to the many Kaohsiung Stadium audience members who stayed for such a long time today, I really wanted to express my sincere gratitude. Because honestly, I think it must have been much harder for you than for us on stage. Now that it's night, it’s cold, and you must be hungry… but thanks to all of you, I was able to create an unforgettable, blissful memory of this beautiful night in December before leaving. Thank you so much to the audience. And also to the (online) viewers who saw so much of me today, I think that you might even be a little tired of me. Still, I'm sorry, but I hope we’ll get to see (each other) even more often to the point you get sick of me. I love you. Thank you." ctto
