When the anchor asked, "IU's version of 'Sogyeokdong' was the one that placed first on the charts. Aren't you disappointed?" 

Seo Taiji answered humbly, "Even though IU was the one who placed first, I was happy as if I had won." He also added, "I think the right expression would be that IU carried me on her back. She was a big help," expressing his appreciation to IU while giving her the credit she deserves. 

Meanwhile, Seo Taiji released his 9th album 'Quiet Night' and held his comeback concert 'ChristMalo.Win' in Seoul, Jamsil Olympic Stadium.
