Additionally, she shared her favorite foods and personal recipes, continuing to discuss her tastes and daily life.
Gaeul also shared her experience from the first match of Netflix's 'Death Game: Bet a Million' (hereafter 'Death Game'). She recalled, "As the day approached, I felt excited. Once the game started, I felt confident and thought, 'I should push myself to the limit,' so I kept challenging myself."
She revealed behind-the-scenes details of her first solo song 'Odd', which was first unveiled during IVE's second world tour 'SHOW WHAT I AM' last October. Gaeul, who participated in writing the lyrics, expressed her desire to convey her thoughts through the song.

Gaeul also shared her thoughts on what she wants to convey through 'Gaeul's Temperature'. She stated, "I wanted to create content that people can watch comfortably while doing other things.
