Today, I was incredibly honored to win first place at Music Bank!!!!
I didn't expect to win at all, so I wasn't prepared with an acceptance speech. I ended up rambling like a fool until my time was up. Therefore, I want to properly express my gratitude through this message.
First, to our ELF, ANNIE, and Eundan, who have always supported and loved me.. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much. You guys made me won this trophy.
People might wonder,
'This song wasn’t even visible on the charts… How did it win 1st place?'
It’s all because of your hard work... You voted tirelessly, streamed the song endlessly, and did everything in your power to make me win. This result was created by your love and dedication!
Of course, I worked hard on this album too, but this award carries even more meaning because it was made by your love and dedication. That’s why this award is incredibly meaningful and precious to me.
I promise I won’t settle and will continue to be an artist, an idol, who never disappoints you. I love you all!
To my ODE Entertainment family, who have been working tirelessly day and night since September 2023, you've worked hard We did it!!!!!
Even though we’re still lacking in manpower and have many shortcomings, I'm truly grateful to everyone who believed in D&E and worked with us. I'll treat you all to a company dinner soon! With bonus! Let's work together to make this company even greater!!
I'm also sincerely grateful to SM Entertainment for making me a singer and nurturing me. I still have the pink blood flowing through me. Let's always be together.
To Vincenzo, Shinkung, and all the staff who helped to create my first solo album’s title track ‘UP N DOWN’! Thank you for giving me such a great song. We’re all in the same boat. Please continue to support me. And to everyone involved in creating my beloved side tracks, thank you so much.
To Picasso who directed the overall visual concept for my first solo album, Illustrator Cha Cha for designing such a trendy, adorable, and lovely character, and Designer Lee Dakyung for perfectly bringing the Y2K vibes to this album! Thanks to all of you, the album received a lot of praise. Thank you so much!
To my hair and makeup stylists, Min Ssaem and Gae Ssaem, and all the staff who always make me shine on stage. To NFS’s Jingyu and Bokyung, who endured my endless requests from album jacket shooting to MV and music show styling, you guys worked so hard! The hairstyle, outfit, and makeup this time was flawless!
To my Auspicious Crew, who ground their bodies and created an amazing stage despite the intense choreography... I was able to enjoy dancing this time because of you guys, thank you so much! Let's keep working hard in the future!!
And to Gooyoung Hyung who made me an intense choreography, saying 'just watch me kill you'! Since I'm not dead yet, please give me even more intense choreography in the future!
To my Super Junior members, who cheered me on in their own ways when they heard about my solo debut... Thank you so much. This year is our 20th anniversary, and I feel proud that I could kick off the year with such great start. My goal for this promotion was to work hard and energize the group before Super Junior's 20th anniversary album, and I think I've done that to some extent. So let's prepare well for our new album and make this year ours!
Lastly, to my mom, who diligently prayed every dawn when she heard that I'm releasing a solo album. To my sister, who monitored and supported me, and to my dad in heaven, who’s probably watching me proudly while laughing... Thank you and I love you so much!
Now that I’ve written all this, I realize even if I had been calm, I probably wouldn’t have been able to say all of this on stage. Anyway, today was an incredibly meaningful and happy day for me. Thank you to everyone.
…Also, can I cancel my retirement?
For those who don’t know: Today, Eunhyuk was a candidate for 1st place on Music Bank. Since he didn’t expect to win, he jokingly said he’d retire if he got 1st place… And then he actually wonㅋㅋ
-The last sentenceㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Retirement cancelationㅋㅋㅋ
-So cuteㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I heard a bit of the song because my bias did a challenge with him, and I liked it, so I watched the MV too... Congrats on winning 1st place.
