Song Kang-ho, awarded Best Actor in the International Competition category for "Uncle Samsik," shared, "Having worked in films, I'm deeply moved and overwhelmed to be working on a drama. I feel a heavy sense of responsibility. I hope 'Uncle Samsik' will be remembered for a long time as a drama that shows the potential to take a step further in the diversity of content and the horizon of dramas."
Yeom Hye-ran and Ahn Jae-hong, who swept the Best Actor and Actress awards in the Outstanding K-Drama category for "Mask Girl," also left a lasting impression with their heartfelt messages.
Kim Hye-yoon, recipient of the "Asia Stars Award" through global K-drama fan votes, expressed her gratitude:,"I was able to receive this award thanks to the many people who voted for me, to the viewers who supported the drama. I will become an actress who can show you various acts in the future."
SEVENTEEN BSS, the OST award winners, also took the stage to deliver their acceptance speech, much to the delight of their fans.

Actor Byun Woo-seok, absent due to prior commitments, stated, "I made many memories with fans through 'Lovely Runner' I will consider this award as one I received together with the fans."
Bang Moon-shin, Chairman of the Seoul Drama Awards Organizing Committee, expressed his gratitude to all award winners, saying, "The power of drama is truly amazing. Seeing everyone come together to cheer on dramas from all over the world, I am amazed at the fact that drama brings the whole world together, transcending language and borders. I hope that we can create more dramas that can resonate with people all over the world."
