When she mentioned her hit song 'KNOCK' as her first performance, Song Sigyeong praised, 'I've been doing this for a long time, so I can tell. It's important that the song is famous and that the person is famous, but there are definitely moments when people can enjoy it through the performance on stage. It was such a stage. You were so good that I was drawn in by your charisma.' Hearing such wonderful words made Lee Chaeyeon say, 'I feel like I might cry,' and then she shed tears.
