On January 19, Block B's Zico gave a heartfelt award speech after winning the bonsang award at the '26th Seoul Music Awards.'
"I realized something while watching fellow singers perform on stage today," the singer began. "That there are many skilled and talented artists out there. However, they were unable to come up on stage because of circumstantial restraints. So I kindly plead to you all, that you would be able to acknowledge and show interest in such gifted people along with me."
Netizens commented, "This is true. I think our country only sees idols as being singers..." "That was honestly spoken," "That's so respectful of him and he deserves praise," "Zico is so cool," and more.
That's right, you tell 'em Zico!

zico really seems like an amazing guy. from what little i know of the guy, it seems that he's always putting out more positivity into the general environment. when he got the 1 minute of spotlight at this moment, he chose not to focus solely on himself and issues surrounding himself. instead, he chose to use this precious time, when everyone was listening to him, to highlight the plight some other idols that were not as fortunate in terms of circumstance. he has my respect ^_^

THANK YOU! I've been saying it all along. There are so many amazing artists that get overshadowed by the 3-4 most popular groups. The awards are all popularity contests and true talent doesn't usually get any credit. Not pointing here, but there are some groups that I feel don't neccessarily deserve the amount of prizes they got. This is why Zico is my ultimate bias.

He spoke the truth. Yeah my faves were there, but where are legends like SISTAR, INFINITE, APINK, BEAST, BAP, BLOCK B, BAP and more who deserved. These days is POPULARITY>>>>>>>>>WALL>>>>>>>>>>>QUALITY and TALENTS. Im not saying those who attended are not talented, the thing is, awards show should invite senior artists/idols too.
