He said in an interview, "I think the best charm of Taiwan is the 'people.' Everyone is kind and free. They accept various cultures. It is because I grew up in such an environment that I am who I am now." In addition, as if to support Nicholas's words, there was a surprise that friends who used to dance together appeared with a surprise for the shooting staff at the 507 underpass of Banqiao Station, with a thermos bag containing tofu pudding, tapioca drinks, and homemade side dishes. Furthermore, as an insert supplement, a SPECIAL PHOTO CARD " &TEAM NICHOLAS in Taiwan" was produced, recording Nicholas's daily life in Taiwan for the first time in three years on 12 thick cardboard photo cards.
