He said, “At the same time, those who couldn't achieve success this time should not lose heart. Try again. Remember that we are right on the verge of victory. May the future of all of you shine brightly! Good things will happen! Success is certain!”

The message was widely shared by TVK supporters and fans, many of whom described it as a motivational gesture during a stressful period for students awaiting their academic future.
