She added, "At this moment, I think of many seniors who were with me. I was so lucky to be able to follow and learn from such wonderful seniors. Someday, I hope to become such a senior."

She continued, "I have never taken my work for granted even once. That is why I strive to approach every project with sincerity and a strong sense of responsibility." She also said, "Please keep looking for me and give me opportunities so that I can continue to find new faces and spark curiosity as an actress named Kim Go-eun."

On this day, the Best Series and Variety Program awards went to "The Legend of the Army Chef" and "I'm a Born Single but I Want to Date," respectively.

Park Hae-soo won the Best Actor award. Park Hae-soo said, "I am grateful to receive an award in front of actors and variety show seniors I admire. While working on 'Scarecrow,' I developed a dream to become a mature adult not just as an actor but as a person. It was a project that allowed me to strive to become a more beautiful person on set." He added, "I am grateful to Senior Lee Hee-jun and my agency family." He also said, "My second child will be born next month. My son seems to always bring blessings. Whenever I feel anxious or uneasy, my wife calms me down. I love her. The first child won the 'Dad' award." Shin Hye-sun said, "I really didn't expect it. My mind went blank." She added, "I will work harder to become an actress who can deliver even better performances in the future."

Kim Won-hoon and Kim Sook took home the Best Male and Female Variety Performer awards. Kim Won-hoon said, "When I won the Excellence Award before, I actually had expectations. I didn't prepare any acceptance speech for this ceremony; I only prepared what reaction to show if I didn't win." He added, "Today, if I hadn't won, I would have written the names of Blue Dragon Series Awards officials in my Death Note. But since you gave me the award, I will spare your lives. Thank you," he said with a choked voice. Kim Sook said, "I am grateful to the production team and staff. A while ago, I built a house, and honeybees came and made a hive before leaving. People told me it meant great luck was coming." She added, "It seems the bees came to me for this big award. I will share this award with my fans. I am grateful to Senior Yoo Jae-suk and Senior Shin Dong-yup for paving the way."
