The beloved star appeared in a pink dress and maintained a calm expression despite recent health concerns. While on stage, she admitted she was more nervous than expected.

I thought I wouldn’t be nervous today, but when I stood here, I started thinking about last year, and my heart started pounding. The award I received last year gave me the strength to work even harder throughout the year, and I’m happy that I can pass this energy on to someone else.

Her appearance came weeks after reports revealed that she and Lee Jong Suk had ended their relationship after four years of publicly dating. She also postponed her comeback and September concert after experiencing worsening symptoms related to Eustachian tube dysfunction.
