Second place may have lost to first place, but it still won third place. Everyone’s a winner. A true winner, in my opinion, is someone who tries to reach a certain level by doing their best at what they want to do. That’s what it means to be a winner, and I hope everyone lives like that.”
Oh then added, “‘Beauty’ is my favorite Korean word. Beautiful world, beautiful people, beautiful society… I came to this place, met two beautiful people in a beautiful space, and had a beautiful time. I hope you all live a beautiful life as well.”
