He said, “Sometimes, we live a moment so deeply and get so lost in it that when it reaches its final point, it feels as though it had just begun, and yet it is ending so soon. Everything feels like it happened just yesterday. As I go through these emotions, I am about to begin the last day of this game. Spending one-third of my life, more than one-third of my life, with all of you has been a great fortune for me.”

The actor went on to thank viewers for sharing every emotion with him throughout the journey. “Whenever I have said from my heart that I am coming, you have welcomed me with open arms. When I laughed, you laughed with me, and when my eyes filled with tears, your eyes shed tears too. You have been my companions on this journey—from the beginning to the very end. I can only say this much to you: if you are here, this game exists, and if this game exists, then we exist. Thank you so much.”

The emotional speech drew loud applause and heartfelt reactions from fans online.
