The member who began the speech first, Seungkwan, mentioned his hometown, Jeju Island, stating, "I grew up with my own dreams on this beautiful island, although it's a faraway island from the capital, Seoul. Dreaming of a bigger world and the dream of becoming a K-pop star, performing in front of countless fans someday." He expressed his overwhelming emotions by saying, "The little boy who dreamed of the future on the island designated as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site is now standing at the UNESCO headquarters today." Continuing, member Jun delivered his speech in Chinese, mentioning the other members, "We are each other's teachers.

The members were always cheerful, never losing their laughter in any situation. Our practice room was always filled with positive words like 'fighting' and 'a little more.' Believing that focusing on the cheerful voices of the members rather than the negative external words, I became more convinced that things would go well with these friends," mentioning each member's name with confidence.

Upon receiving the award, Song Hye Kyo said, "It has been almost a year since we finished filming 'The Glory,' and I wanted to express my gratitude to the staff, but they are all on different sets right now, so I didn't get the chance. I'm happy to be able to deliver my thanks in this wonderful moment with such a great award." She continued, "Director Ahn Gil-ho, who responded to my question mark with an exclamation mark on set, and the fellow actors who mentioned in interviews that they were influenced positively by my performance—I feel like I received even more from them. I am truly grateful to everyone," expressing her emotions through tears. Especially, she thanked writer Kim Eun-sook, saying, "Thank you and I love you for entrusting me with Moon Dong Hee.
