Throughout the performance, Kep1er made eye contact with fans using center stage and lifts, and interacted closely with fans by appearing on the 1st to 4th floors of the audience seats. The members, who livened up the atmosphere with their bright energy, also released handwritten letters to the fans and enhanced the performance with exceptional affection. Kep1ians (fans) colored the venue with passionate singing, cheers, and vivid waves of purple penlights, and Kep1er responded to their feelings on the encore stage, closing the performance finale. Handwritten messages of gratitude from the members to Kep1ians were displayed on the monitors in Hangul and Japanese, and amidst the unending encore, Kep1er changed into T-shirts with merchandise and reappeared. Each member expressed their gratitude. Xiaoting: "Thanks to all the Kep1ians, I was able to become an idol and stand here. I only have feelings of love and gratitude for everyone. Thank you so much for always being by my side. I can't believe that today, the last concert with all 9 members, is real. Thanks to the members, it was truly a happy and fun time. Thank you so much for being with me until now." Dayoung: "The last day of the concert with 9 members has come. It was truly a happy 3 days. Thanks to Kep1ians, I was able to fulfill my dream of debuting for a long time. And I was able to have a happy activity with the 8 angelic members of Kep1er. And Maestro, Ye So, thank you so much. I love you so much. The 9 of us will shine even more in the future, so Kep1ians, don't be sad, please stay by our side forever." Yujin: "The time I thought would never come has arrived. Thank you for loving and supporting us 9 members from 'Girls Planet 999: Girls Festival' until now. Today's stage may be the last stage as 9 members, but we will always be together. Thank you so much for loving us 9 from the bottom of your hearts. I may have been an inexperienced leader, but thank you to all the members for supporting me. And I want to say thank you for your hard work. I love you." Youngwoon: "I wanted to shine on stage, but I think I was able to shine thanks to all the Kep1ians. Thank you so much. If I hadn't been with these 9 members, I think I would have been discouraged. Because the members always watched over me and said 'It's okay,' I think I am able to stand on this stage now. Kep1ians, today's concert with 9 people may be the last, but we 9 will be forever, so please stay by our side forever. I love you all, thank you." Hikaru: "I didn't want to think about it being the last because every day was happy and fun, and maybe I was careful not to use the word 'last' with the members. The stage with 9 people is the last today, but thank you so much for filling me with such happiness. I will never forget it. And to all the members, thank you so much for your hard work. If I had stumbled, I don't think I could have stood up again without these 8 people. We are forever, so please don't be sad, let's do our best together." Maestro: "Thank you, Kep1ians, for showing me so many wonderful scenes over the past 2 and a half years. Thank you to everyone who came today, and even those who watched from outside the venue. It's really unimaginable for me, who was before debut, that so many people came to see me, so I'm very happy. I've been cherishing the stage with the members since our debut, and today, I sang and danced with all my heart, feeling that this might be the last time I can perform this song as Kep1er, and I think it was conveyed to the members and Kep1ians, and it was a really good day. I hope it was a day where everyone who watched it can think it was a truly happy day. I was really happy for 2 and a half years thanks to Kep1ians. Thank you for supporting us Kep1er. And to all the members, every day was so happy that I can't choose just one day. I love you, and we are always one. Thank you. This was Maestro of Kep1er." Ye So: "Thanks to all the Kep1ians, I was able to stand here. And I was able to meet 8 wonderful, beautiful, and cute sisters. Every day was very important when we were active, and every day was fun. Even now, I don't feel the reality that it's the last moment, and I'm happy and sad at the same time. Thank you to everyone who loves and supports me, Kang Ye So, and Kep1er. I think you made me realize that I am a person who is loved so much. Thank you so much to all the Kep1ians who made me feel like a star today. I will never forget it, so please remember it forever. We are always Kep1er, thank you. I love you!" Chehyeong: "I was happy to be with these 9 people for 2 and a half years, almost 3 years. I was very happy because everyone was there, shedding a lot of sweat and tears from childhood to now. I want to express my gratitude, thanks, and love. Thank you very much, Kep1ians. Please continue to believe in us 9 and stay by our side, and we want to respond to your feelings by believing in us. Please stay by our side. Please watch over us, the 9 members of Kep1er, as we move towards big dreams. Thank you." Hyunin Bahie: "I debuted in Girls Planet, stood on this big stage with all the members, and I'm happy to meet all the Kep1ians. Actually, I'll tell you now, but when I debuted, I wondered if I should be here. I always showed a nervous side and couldn't show a happy side at first, I'm sorry. But meeting these 8 members was truly a miracle. And being able to make many unforgettable memories with everyone was possible because I was able to be with everyone. I sincerely thank all the Kep1ians who allowed me to stand on this shining stage. I want to meet beautiful and wonderful members in the future, so everyone, will you stay with me until the end? Our hearts are always one." And they performed "tOgether fOrever" and "Another Dream (Kep1er Ver.)", responded to the double encore with "Sugar," and said, "Until now! From now on! Forever! We are Kep1er who love Kep1ians. Catch your eye, Catch your mind! Thank you, this was Kep1er." Finally, after finishing the singing of "Daisy," they closed the final concert with a total of 24 songs in a 9-member lineup.
