Regarding the selection of the trot song 'Look at Me, Gwisun', which became a hot topic, Daesung explained, "People talk as if I was promoting national prestige, but that wasn't my intention. During the solo stage preparation, I thought this was a stage only I could do."

The Korean subtitles on the large LED screen were also a spontaneous idea. Daesung shared, "Originally, there was nothing on the screen, but G-Dragon suggested writing 'My name is Daesung'. I planned to say 'Hello, I'm Daesung', so I wrote it in Korean." He added, "It was an idea thrown by G-Dragon that I developed further."

He also shared the emotional impact of the performance. About the 'Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter' stage, he said, "Unlike other songs, T.O.P's voice is featured in this one, so it gets mentioned a lot. I also enjoyed singing it." When someone mentioned that people cried during the chat, he admitted, "I did too."

Daesung also shared realistic stories from the Coachella site. He said, "Epik High hyungs gave us some tips, but it seems a lot has changed since they were there. Initially, I thought there would be nothing, so I worried a lot about preparation, but there were shopping centers and malls."

Not everything went smoothly. Daesung revealed, "My manager's hotel room was robbed. All the luggage was stolen, including the passport, so we returned with an emergency passport." He added, "Previously, during a shoot in Hawaii, the car window was broken, and the manager's bag was stolen. The passport was stolen twice."

He also shared updates about his fellow members. Daesung said, "I went to watch baseball and soccer with G-Dragon and had a date in LA. It felt good to spend time together again after our honeymoon in Hawaii 10 years ago," showcasing their enduring friendship.

Regarding future plans, he mentioned, "There's no set tour yet, but it's confirmed to start in August. I'll prepare diligently and return."
