"After winning the Best Asian Newcomer Group Award on this stage last year, I am honored to receive the Album of the Year Award this year. Thank you so much everyone!" His voice choked with emotion as he first thanked the company executives and management team, and then, "and our beloved members, our parents, and fans all over the world. Thank you so much!"
The sentimental Park Chanyeol couldn't help but ruffle the leader's hair from behind. Ou Yangguang, Kim Jongin, Kim Jongdae, and others also rushed forward and hugged their leader tightly from behind, sharing this glorious moment.
Kim Junmyeon raised his wrist, looked at his watch, and said in a trembling but firm voice, "Every time we won a big prize, we couldn't truly be happy. Because we always felt we weren't worthy enough. Back then, someone said something to us. That thing was, 'Enjoy this moment!' I really want to thank that person." He took a deep breath and clearly announced the time: "What time is it now? Friday, November 22, 2013, 11:43:33 AM Korean time."
"Ah—!!!" EXO members and all the fans on and off stage erupted in excited screams at the same time! This moment was frozen in time.
"We will never forget this moment. We will continue to work hard to become a better EXO." After saying this, Kim Junmyeon hugged Kim Jongdae tightly.
Next, Kris stepped to the microphone and spoke in Cantonese, "Thank you! Thank you so much to MAMA for giving us such a great award. I want to thank all our friends who support us! Thank you again to all our fans for supporting EXO, thank you!" She then said in English, "Fans all over the world, you are the best! Thank you!"
It was Ou Yangguang's turn. He stepped forward, his eyes already moist, the corners red. He grasped the microphone, bowed his head, and spoke in Chinese, his voice trembling but incredibly clear: "Thank you so much for the fans' support of EXO. Because of your efforts, we were able to receive this award. Thank you to CEO Lee Soo-man, Manager Kim Ji-won, and all the staff who helped us, the teachers and seniors at SM Entertainment, our managers, Seung-hwan, and Min-ji. And our members, my family, and their families. Thank you so much!" He thanked the company, teachers, seniors, managers, and staff one by one, "And our members, my family, and their families. Thank you so much!" At this point, tears finally broke free and streamed down his face.
He choked up, saying, "This award is a recognition of all the hard work EXO has put in over the past year. But this is not the end, but a new beginning. We will carry this honor and continue to run forward to become a better EXO! Thank you everyone!" Then, with all his might and a heavy sob in his voice, he said "I love you all!" in Korean, English, Japanese, and Chinese, and finally made a big heart shape with his hands above his head.
He was immediately embraced tightly by Kim Junmyeon, Jongin, and others behind him. His older brothers patted his back, sharing this moment of tears and glory.
"I thank everyone who has helped us, thank you to our fans! And today my grandparents and my mother are here too, thank you! Thank you, I love you all! Thank you also to all our managers and teachers who have helped us. And thank you to all the members of EXO. I love you all!" After Zhang Yixing finished his speech, Ouyang Guang immediately turned around and hugged him tightly.
Lu Han then shouted into the microphone, "I love you all!"
Kai (Kim Jong-in) tearfully thanked everyone, especially his parents and staff. Baekhyun promised to become a more humble EXO. Chanyeol thanked their managers and parents who had helped them and brought EXO into the world. Chen (Kim Jong-dae) succinctly expressed his gratitude and love for the staff.
Huang Zitao was pushed forward by Park Chanyeol to finish the speech. He rubbed his hair and said sincerely, "I really feel that the efforts of the thirteen of us have not been in vain. I am very grateful to the fans for their continued support, and also to Lee Soo-man. I love you all."
Sehun stepped forward last and said, "Finally, let's tell our fans again, thank you, I love you."
