At the end of the performance, leader S.COUPS opened his mouth with strong emotions. He said, 'Thinking that there won't be concerts as a full group for a while makes me reflect on whether I was a good leader for the members and a good person for CARAT (SEVENTEEN's fans).' He continued, 'I think it's polite to talk to CARAT first,' and revealed, 'As a result of deep discussions among the members, all 13 decided to re-contract. I think we will move forward with all our might from now on,' which heated up the venue. Along with this, the members' thoughts followed.

He conveyed, 'Thanks to CARAT, I was able to repay my parents and meet important members and fans.' He vowed, 'I will always engrave the love I received in my heart and strive to become a person worthy of it.' Seungkwan also expressed his love for fans. He said, 'Thinking that SEVENTEEN's concerts will take a break for a while brings up various emotions,' and 'Recently, I feel that the time spent giving love to each other with everyone is not something to take for granted. The more so, I feel I must live harder.' He added, 'While group activities will take a little break, we will continue to greet you in our respective places, so I will work hard to ensure you don't feel the void.' DK said, 'Various emotions such as sadness and regret intertwine,' and 'I will cherish the memories with the members deeply.' He continued, 'This is the last concert with the full members for a while, but we promise to come back and stand on stage in a more wonderful form,' with tears in his eyes. 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.' He continued, 'I hope you don't just feel SEVENTEEN's absence as something sad. I am always by CARAT's side, and let's meet again when SEVENTEEN's spring comes.'
