As you seniors know better, there is nothing I can do alone in a variety show."

She continued, "I think I was able to receive this award because there were many colleagues, seniors, and juniors who supported me, laughed with me, cried with me, danced with me, and reacted more when I was tired.

So today, I want to tell myself in front of my respected seniors and colleagues that I worked hard as Yeon-jin, and I am doing well enough. You are amazing, Yeon-jin," she said with a smile.

I want to say thank you so much to my parents, who will be surprised at home," and she thanked the staff, including Bae Doona.

She continued, "As you can tell from the title 'Next Sohee,' it could be a concern for the next Sohees. I think there are many Sohees in Korea and all over the world. As one of the Sohees, sometimes I think the world is too hard and cruel, and I struggle more than I am happy, just trying to get through each day. But then, I receive an award and it feels great. To all the Sohees out there, if you're struggling, tell the adults you're hurting, and let's live a life of giving and receiving love and being healthy."
