During the group’s acceptance speech, Wonwoo said a few words that made a huge impact on fans watching the show. He admitted that the past year had been hard for him but thanked fans and the other members for helping him get through it.
Last year was quite tough for me. I was falling apart. I’d like to thank Carats and my teammates for helping me through that. I’d like to become an artist who can also help others at times when they’re falling apart. Thank you.

“제가 작년에 개인적으로 많이 무너져있었는데요 무너짐에서 이끌어준 캐럿들과 멤버들에게 너무 고맙다고 얘기해주고 싶고 저도 많은 분들을 무너짐에서 이끌어내줄 수 있는 그런 가수가 되도록 하겠습니다 감사합니다”

After the speech, Wonwoo was seen facing the sky and holding the award up. Fans have assumed this is what he meant when he said he would be able to brag to his mother about achievements.
I remember when Wonwoo said in his MAMA 2023 speech: “I have one more thing to brag about to my mom.”
This is what it looks like.
