The members of IVE showed smiles in the settlement talk. Recently, IVE's Yujin, Won Young, Liz, and Ray appeared in the "Mini Pingego (Excuse)" released on the YouTube channel "DdeunDdeun." On this day, Ray said about performing at Tokyo Dome, "It really feels like a dream. It was my goal since debut, but I am very honored. I achieved it in my second year of debut." He also talked about singer K.will, who has connections with both Yu Jisuk and IVE. K.will appeared on the same channel and is someone who started with STARSHIP Entertainment. Yujin said, "He really feels like a director. The last time I saw him outside of filming was before my debut, when I was a trainee. At that time, he said, 'If you don't plan to say you're a big fan after you debut, don't say it now.' But I am still a fan of my seniors even after debuting." In response, Ray said he met K.will on the settlement day and said, "When I went to the office on the settlement day, he was there. If I meet him, that day will be a good day." When Yu Jisuk asked if he was satisfied with the settlement amount, Ray laughed and said, "Yes." Ray also mentioned that he could buy all the toast on the table and treat everyone. Liz added, "Seniors are much richer," and Yu Jisuk said, "I feel a distance. When it comes to this, I feel awkward talking." The members of IVE also talked about rewarding themselves. Ray said he bought hairpins from overseas online shopping, and An Yujin said, "I often go to delicious restaurants. Or I bring back delicious food to eat." Won Young also said, "I eat a delicious dinner as a reward for myself." Yu Jisuk said, "When popularity rises and results show, the treatment from the agency changes," and Yujin agreed, saying, "They always treat us well, but it was very good that they listened to our opinions." She said, "I also gave opinions during the album preparation process, and it became more interesting as my participation rate increased." Won Young, who participated in the lyrics for this album, also said, "I participated in the lyrics, but my love for the album deepened." Ray and Liz also showed satisfaction with the fact that their style suggestions were reflected as they were.
