IU shared a behind-the-scenes story, "I originally wanted to invite IVE to 'Palette' much earlier. It was planned, but I apologize for the delay," she said, bowing deeply. Jang Wonyoung responded, "We hoped you wouldn't feel that way."

The delay was due to IU's high fever, which led to the cancellation of the recording. IU recalled, "It was the first time something like this happened during a 'Palette' recording. I woke up feeling unwell and had to cancel to go to the hospital. I asked the shop staff to convey my apologies."

Later, IU encountered Liz in an elevator. IU said, "I took off my hat and mask and apologized, asking her to convey my apologies to the IVE members. It was my biggest regret of 2024." Despite this, IVE expressed concern for IU, which touched her deeply. IU promised, "I'll do my best today to make up for my past mistake and make you shine."

Fans have dubbed IU, IVE, and (G)I-DLE as the 'I' family. Iseo mentioned, "I've heard about it. Fans told us after we covered 'Lilac' at a year-end stage."

IU and IVE expressed a desire to invite each other to their performances, but scheduling conflicts prevented it. IU shared, "I wanted IVE as guests at my concert, but our schedules clashed. I ended up performing without guests for the first time." She added, "If you need time to change outfits or hairstyles during a performance, feel free to use me. That's what the 'I' family is for." IVE members responded, "We'll support you anytime."
