Recently, in the YouTube channel 'KBS Kpop's' 'Limousine Service', Sonu appeared and performed live. On that day, singer Lee Mujin began by saying, 'I heard you like thrilling animations.' In response, he said, 'I watch famous works like 'Demon Slayer' and 'Attack on Titan'. But I don't watch other genres, like those about surviving in dungeons. I unconditionally need a love story that is ticklish and leaves me wanting more.' Later, when Lee Mujin asked him to recommend a work, Sonu introduced the animation 'Toradora!', saying, 'If you watch this, you'll get hooked.' Then, Lee Mujin asked, 'I heard you often write songs. Have you ever been inspired by animations like 'Toradora!'?' He replied, 'I do get inspiration from such animations, and also from 'Crayon Shin-chan'.' To this, Lee Mujin questioned, 'Where is the romance in 'Crayon Shin-chan'? There's only Matsuzaka-sensei.' In response, Sonu convinced Lee Mujin by saying, 'Did you see the airport episode with Matsuzaka-sensei? Nothing surpasses that.' The episode he mentioned is also popular online in Korea. Three years ago, a net user created a music video combining Matsuzaka Ume's story from 'Crayon Shin-chan' with singer Yoon Do-hyun's 'I Think I Loved You', which became a topic of discussion and has now surpassed 6.5 million views. When Lee Mujin asked if Sonu could sing one of his original songs inspired by watching 'Crayon Shin-chan' or a romantic genre like 'I Think I Loved You', Sonu introduced 'Cream'. He explained, 'I wrote this song after seeing the scene where Hiroshi Nohara from 'Crayon Shin-chan' drinks beer after work, wanting to create a song that delivers a positive message and thanks to those who worked hard today.'
