DK said, 'Various emotions such as sadness and regret intertwine,' and 'I will cherish the memories with the members deeply.'

DINO conveyed a message with the meaning of the performance. He said, 'I have been running for 11 years without rest, and I am still continuing on stage with the same passion.' He mentioned, 'When I came here, I saw the cherry blossoms falling, but I wasn't sad. I think it's a process to become stronger, not an end.'
