Upon receiving their awards, the group’s leader, Ahn Yujin said, “IVE won both ‘Best New Female Artist’ and ‘Song of the Year’ today, First of all, it’s already a great honor for us to be able to stand on such a huge stage. Now, having won so many valuable awards today, it is even more meaningful.”

Then, she called each staff member by name, adding, “As its name suggests, Song of the Year is a really cool award given to us, but our staff, who are at the backstage with us all worked really hard till this song came out.
