On this day, Choi Yena mentioned that she had a world-class experience, referring to Jin. She started by saying, 'I received a proposal for featuring in Jin-sunbae's solo album. The song is called 'Loser', and when I first received the proposal, I thought, 'Why me?' However, after listening to the song, I felt it completely matched my taste. I thought I could really do well, so I conveyed, 'I will do it with confidence unconditionally,' and it became a good opportunity, leading to me standing on stage as a guest at Jin-sunbae's solo concert.' She continued, 'What I felt was different about the world-class experience was that even in the morning, they grilled thinly sliced samgyeopsal for me in the dining hall and gifted me ramen in a box.' When the MCs asked, 'Is there nothing besides food?' Choi Yena replied, 'There was a lot more. Of course, the stage is big, and the ARMY (the name of the fans) is the best, right? But I...' and she smiled, recalling the samgyeopsal.
