'The 4th GAON Chart Kpop Awards' took place on January 28 where the sweet girls of Ladies' Code were sorely missed.  MCs Leeteuk and Hyeri particularly expressed their sentiments about the girls after giving the awards out for best rookies of the year as Ladies' Code had won the award the previous year.

Leeteuk said, "Seeing WINNER and MAMAMOO win the rookie awards makes me think of Ladies' Code.  Last year, Ladies' Code won the award and their happy image has popped back into my head.  It's regrettable that they are not here with us today."

Hyeri added, "I wish people would listen to their songs more and remember them." Leeteuk said, "We also wish that the other members would recover quickly, so that we could see them on stage," showing his support for not only the group's rehabilitation but also their return to the K-Pop world.

Meanwhile, congratulations to WINNER and MAMAMOO on receiving the honor that had been bestowed to Ladies' Code in the past.
