The music team of "KPop Demon Hunters," whose acceptance speech was forcibly suspended at the Academy Awards, continued to say what they couldn't say in front of reporters behind the stage. The Deadline article, an entertainment magazine that delivered this, was bombarded with angry and sympathetic comments from fans around the world.

At the 98th Academy Awards held on the 16th, the track "Golden" from "K-pop Demon Hunters" won the Oscar for Best Original Music for the first time on a K-pop track.A composition team consisting of Lee Jae, Mark Sonnenblick, Kwak Jung-kyu, Lee Yoo-han, Nam Hee-dong, Seo Jung-hoon, and Teddy Park lifted the trophy. Lee Jae-JAE, who held the microphone on stage, said in a tearful voice, "This song is about recovery, not success." However, as soon as Lee Yoo-han was handed the microphone, the closing music rang out, and even though Sonnenblik made a gesture asking for more time, the lights were turned off and the advertisement was turned off. There was a sigh of lament among the field reporters.

CNN said, "There was a scene that made K-pop fans angry shortly after the historical moment at the Academy Awards," adding, "Fans will protest strongly on social media because they were not given enough time at a moment that could have meant more." Criticism poured out in comments on the ABC's YouTube channel, which featured the award-winning scene.

The "Golden" team immediately moved to the coverage area behind the stage and poured out words they couldn't say.

Lee Jae-eun said, "We are so grateful and honored. Everyone worked hard, and this is really the result of collaboration," he said, adding, "I'm grateful to the directors and everyone who worked on the movie." "I really wanted to thank Rei Ami and Audrey Nuna on stage, but I couldn't because of the cutoff. The two completed the movie with a song, and they are really cool people."

Lee said, "I'm grateful to my family, idol members, and Teddy Park. It's an incredible honor," he said. "I'm grateful to my family and husband Isaac," Sonnenblik said, adding, "The lyrics of 'Golden' are not 'I'm going up, up, up,' but 'We're going up, up, up.' That's why we're here today," he explained. "I'm also grateful to the fans who loved the movie," he said.

When Deadline, an entertainment magazine, reported the news of the announcement of the award behind the stage, readers' angry comments continued. "It ruined a once-in-a-lifetime moment. In particular, the comment, "I'm so sorry that Han was cut off by music the moment I held the microphone," received a high-level response. Criticism poured out, saying, "Why do you cut the winner while playing comedy sketches every 40 minutes?"

One reader said, "It doesn't make sense to apply the 45-second rule even if only one person says it. We need to cut out comedy sketches and give time to the winners," he pointed out. "It was an opportunity to learn the culture and pride that Korean artists brought, but they were kicked out due to timing problems. Shameful" comments were also noted.

Deadline's Twitter post also drew responses. An account believed to be a Philippine fan said, "A once-in-a-lifetime moment was cut..."I'm crying (Nakaka-iyak Namanito)," he said, while another fan welcomed, "I'm glad this is being handled properly." "Oscar's handling is so disappointing" in Spanish.

K-pop Demon Hunters won two Oscars, including the Best Original Music Award and the Best Feature Animation Award.
