Well, honestly. Ah, I've always felt that this award wasn't really meant for me, that I had no connection to it. But ah, this day has come for me too. When I was actively and diligently working on dramas, during that busy period, I would see myself shining in the glory of such a big award, and I would blame myself a lot, complain a lot, and pour out my dissatisfactions. I wondered, what are my shortcomings? What areas do I need to fill to become a more complete actor? I had many such thoughts. And then, I seemed to be more regretful, remorseful, and disappointed about myself than looking forward to another tomorrow. Last year, while listening to the acceptance speech of a senior actor, I felt and learned so much. Even a senior who has had such a long career and acting life is so humble and so grateful, I realized my own capacity was too small. There was so much left for me to fill. I truly felt insignificant. Truly. I felt like a foolish actor. Anyway, today is very regrettable, and I miss it dearly. I remember those days when a single word of praise from a senior would make me so excited that I wanted to brag about it to everyone around me. Not being satisfied with just having another Daesang trophy added to the collection at home, I will humbly and carefully consider the weight and responsibility of this Daesang, and I will truly strive to become a more responsible actor. I truly won't forget the wonderful memories we've made together every single day. Those were truly enjoyable times. Ah, I thank the viewers once again. And for the first time, I want to say, thinking of my father who must be watching proudly from heaven, and thinking that my mother might be shedding tears now, thank you, Mom, for always supporting me. Thank you. I will work hard. >> Yes. Congratulations once again. Next, we'd like to hear from actress Uhm Ji-won. Thank you, I'm honored. Ah, I was so moved by the video of Lee Soon-jae teacher that my emotions overflowed, I'm so sorry. I started acting in 2002 with the morning drama "Golden Carriage." Um. >> Let's give her a round of applause. >> Ah. Ah. I didn't major in acting, so I didn't know much about acting. At that time, my mother was Kim Hye-sook teacher, and my father was Baek Il-seop teacher, and the late Yeong-gye teacher was my grandmother. They taught me so much about acting. And after 10 years of acting, in 2012, I did the family drama "Unemployed Romance." At that time, my mother was Kim Hye-sook teacher, my father was Yoo Dong-geun teacher, and my grandfather was Lee Soon-jae teacher. While acting in movies, I played roles without parents and pondered about my characters alone as an actor. Then, watching the performances of the teachers in "Unemployed Romance" in 2012 was a turning point for me as an actor. I learned so much from the teachers then. My seniors and teachers were such great acting mentors to me. I want to express my deepest gratitude. And I also want to express my deepest gratitude to our fellow actors and seniors who are here today. Um, we'll meet again someday, won't we? Yes. Yoon Park was my ex-husband in "The Woman Who Married Three Times," but this time we met as brothers-in-law. Choi Byung-mo oppa was my husband in "Spring Turns to Spring," but this time we met as villains. Ji-so and I worked hard killing bad guys in "The Witch's Mirror," and we met at the awards ceremony. I hope that we actors, who meet again like this, can give viewers love and emotion through good acting, acting that moves the heart. Um, this Daesang trophy is heavier than I thought. I will grow into an actor who understands the weight of the Daesang and conveys sincerity. Above all, I express my deepest gratitude to the viewers who truly loved and enjoyed this drama. I dedicate this award to my parents, who loved and enjoyed our drama more than anyone else. Mom and Dad, I love you. Thank you. >> Yes. Thank you to both of you for your acceptance speeches. Since your emotions are running high, it might be difficult to speak, so please don't be embarrassed. >> No, no. It's okay to shed tears to your heart's content today. >> Yes. Actually, I had quite a lot of screen time in the drama. So much so that I was worried about my stamina. >> Because the character Ma Wang-sook had to interact with my brothers-in-law and also date the chairman. >> Yes. >> I had to go everywhere. >> Yes. It must have been tiring, but every time, my younger brothers who played my brothers-in-law always took care of me more than a sister-in-law. >> Um. >> They treated me so, so well. And Uhm Ji-won was almost like the vitamin of our drama. She always approached filming with a bright smile and a cheerful demeanor, which gave us all strength and made filming enjoyable. >> Will there be a gathering to celebrate after this today? >> Well, I don't know how the results will turn out today, so I hadn't thought about an after-party, but Uhm Ji-won had already made a reservation. >> Oh, really? Yes. >> So I'm just going to tag along. >> Great. Today. >> We agreed to go out if I won the Daesang. >> Oh, really? >> Understood. Yes. Ah. >> Great. I'm paying. Yes. Ah. Please give a round of applause to share this congratulatory moment. >> The 2025 KBS Drama Awards Daesang goes to "The Eagles of the Eagle," requested by Ahn Jae-wook and Uhm Ji-won. Congratulations once again on your award. Mm.
