On the 23rd, Kep1er's Cha Yujin, Kim Chehyeon, Hikaru Ezaki, and Hyuninbahie appeared on SBS Power FM's "2 O'Clock Escape Cultwo Show." Kep1er, which has gained worldwide popularity, recently attracted about 30,000 spectators to a fan concert held in Japan, causing a sensation. Their first full album released in May in Japan has achieved first place on Billboard JAPAN's sales chart, gaining explosive popularity in Japan. The news of their re-contract was also announced, with member Kim Tegyun saying, "It seems like the members get along well," to which the members unanimously replied, "We have a strong bond" and "We wanted to continue (our activities) for the sake of the members because we get along well," appealing to their friendship. When Kim Tegyun asked, "Is there a member who plays a central role among you?" Cha Yujin replied, "I feel like everyone has their own role." When asked about her own role, Cha Yujin said, "I have a tax-related role. I am in charge of communication with the company," surprising everyone. Kim Chehyeon said, "As the leader, she often deals with such delicate matters." When asked about the roles of other members, they answered, causing laughter. Kep1er, who released a new album with the title track "Shooting Star," was introduced by Cha Yujin as a synth-pop genre number with an impressive electric guitar. She revealed that the new song is a heartfelt song with the message "I'm not afraid when I'm with all the fans." In response to the words of former Phantom member Hanhe, who said, "This is the last activity as a nine-member group, so the feelings must have been special," Cha Yujin answered, "I learned for the first time that tears can come out not only during practice but also on stage." Kim Chehyeon said, "After finishing the pre-recording, we performed live on stage again, crying while performing, but the reporters captured it beautifully. It was captured like a dumpling that could burst at any moment." Kep1er has become adults, with the youngest member Kang Yeso turning 20 this year. When Kim Tegyun asked if they had a simple meal to celebrate their first place, the members said they hadn't had a meal yet. Kim Chehyeon mentioned that Yujin had ordered chicken delivery instead. The hosts were surprised and asked if they ate one chicken with nine people. Hyuninbahie said one member ate four pieces. When asked who ate the four pieces, Kim Chehyeon replied that it was a member with the last name Kim, not her. When it was mentioned that Yujin has a slightly preachy nature as the oldest member and leader, she seemed surprised. Hyuninbahie mentioned that Yujin often says, "In my time," and shared an episode that made the studio burst into laughter. When asked what had changed the most from her time in CLC, Yujin mentioned the culture of filming dance challenge videos. Kep1er ranked first on "SHOW CHAMPION" and expressed happiness for being able to do an encore stage with all nine members. Kep1er made their final comeback as a complete group, reflecting on their activities with tears, saying, "We are always nine sisters."
