MC Kim Seong-ju said, “There are a lot of people who are curious about how I’ve been doing.” Cao Lu actively appeared in entertainment shows, but returned to China after 2020. He said, “After my contract in Korea ended, I went to China and had a good time with my parents.”

Cao Lu explained, "I worked in Korea for 14 years, but when I saw my mother's gray hair increasing, I decided to go back and be with her." What Cao Lu missed about Korea was beef tripe, viewers, and Fiesta members.

Caoru expressed his affection, saying, "Main vocalist Hye-mi chose the song and recorded it for me. Jay served as my manager. He picked me up in the morning. I'm still in the waiting room. Thank you. I love our members."

Cao Lu said that under the influence of Kim Gura, he returned to China and tried his hand at comedy. Regarding this, Cao Lu said, "I went on a comedian audition program. I went on 'Radio Star' before and had fun. The producer was so impressed that I had to wear a mermaid costume and I cried. The reaction on set wasn't good, so I was rejected."

Cao Lu also made people laugh by saying, "I think it's not that I'm funny, but because my senior accepted me well, I seemed like a fun person. I think I came to my senses after experiencing it once." Lastly, Caoru said, "I like traveling. I'm filming vlogs while traveling."
