Singer-songwriter AJ, who co-wrote and performed the record-breaking, chart-topping song, accepted the award with co-writers Mark Sonnenblick and Lee Hee-joon.
“When I was a little girl, I worked tirelessly for 10 years to fulfill my dream of becoming a K-pop idol, and I was rejected and disappointed that my voice wasn’t good enough,” AJ said on stage. “So I took up lyrics and music to pursue this. Now I am here as a singer and songwriter.”

She said, “It’s a dream come true to be a part of a song that is helping other girls, other boys and all people of all ages deal with their difficulties and accept themselves.”
“I just want to say that this award goes to those for whom doors are closed. I can say with confidence that rejection is redirection, so never give up.”
AJ then ended with a direct quote from his song “Golden”: “It’s never too late to shine like you were born.”
