A representative can accept on their behalf, they can get it by mail and to you professor, the award means a lot but it’s not well known +

But these worldwide famous superstars came to the ceremony, a ceremony that wasn’t even broadcasted to accept their award, an award that doesn’t have prize money

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👨🏻" title="Mann (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Mann (heller Hautton)"> and as I was watching them accept their award, I thought to myself, “Ah these people are going to make it big.” Because it’s really not easy to be that humble.

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👨🏻‍🦳" title="Man, white haired (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Man, white haired (heller Hautton)"> big stars and idols who have won, but usually they have reps or only have one or two members who come

Here was Namjoon’s acceptance speech. It was so well-received for his message. And that day, they had another award ceremony to go to, so they were so busy. They basically showed up unannounced and surprised so many people. https://twitter.com/modooborahae/status/1217123927010566144">https://twitter.com/modoobora...
