As Crush took the stage performing 'Sometimes,' So Soo-bin revealed, "When I was in college majoring in vocals and contemplating my career path, seeing Crush made me decide, 'That's it. I need to create my own music.' He's the true hero who made me who I am today." He added, "Watching the performance felt like going back to those days. I'm so grateful," adding to the emotional moment.
When Crush responded, "I'm a fan of So Soo-bin too," So Soo-bin expressed disbelief, saying, "I can't believe it." Crush shared, "I really like So Soo-bin's 'Love Commotion.' Especially after my back surgery last year, 'Gift' was a great comfort to me," revealing his genuine feelings.
