Lee Jae shed tears on stage while expressing his feelings. Lee Jae said, "Thank you. Thank you to the Academy for this excellent award.

Like "Golden," I think this award is not about success, but about resilience," he said, thanking his family and colleagues. Now, he drew attention by shedding tears, saying, "Thank you for my fiancé (engagement)."

"K-pop Demon Hunters" won the Feature Animation Award through outstanding animation competitions such as "Zootopia 2," "Arco," "Elio," and "Little Amelie."
