Despite winning the Popularity Award, Kim Junsu was unable to attend the ’25th Seoul Music Awards’ to receive his award in person, and this left fans in rather dejected spirits.
Junsu said through V APP while holding aloft the trophy for his Popularity Award, “It’s regretful, but don’t feel dejected as things can only get better.”
He continued, “I won an award today, and it was given to me by everyone. The most important thing is that it was 100 percent voted by you. It’s been a long while… 6 to 7 years since I was a nominee at an awards ceremony like this. There are so many talented singers, so I didn’t expect much. But it’s all thanks to everyone that I was able to win.”
Junsu also expressed his regrets, “It would be more joyous if I was able to attend the awards ceremony in person, and say my acceptance speech. Regarding my non-attendance, I will discuss it with the company, and I hope that everyone will believe in everything that we have done up till this point. I understand that the Popularity Award was done through paid voting. I’m really sorry and it’s regretful. Please don’t be dejected as things will get better. I will treasure this big award that you have given me, and accept it with much gratitude.”
Meanwhile, Seoul mayor Park Won Sun has expressed in the aftermath that he will be looking into the matter on why Kim Junsu wasn’t invited to the ’25th Seoul Music Awards.’
