On receiving the UnionPay Song of the Year award, Daesung said, “Thank you so much, Thank you for loving us for such a long time. As time goes by, I think these awards become more precious, so we will work hard not to betray these awards.”
T.O.P added, “The five of us are going on 10 years together, and we’ve received a lot of awards, but I want to thank our family and fans who have always supported us. Being a singer may look really flashy on the outside, but there are a lot of staff members who work hard behind the scenes.”
Big Bang returned to the stage to accept the UnionPay Artist of the Year award, where Taeyang said, “Thank you for such a big award. Like T.O.P hyung said earlier, we will soon be going on 10 years, and we sang a lot of songs and a lot happened, but I want to thank the fans who always cheered us on. And those who worked behind-the-scenes in order for us to win this great artist award, thank you. We will work harder to be an artist deserving of this award.”
Big Bang also received the HotelsCombined Best Music Video award and iQiYi Worldwide Favorite Artist award earlier in the night.
