In the broadcast, Kim Sejeong, who looked back on her trainee days, received empathy from TWICE Jihyo as she said, "It's a shame that I couldn't play properly because of practice. I played only a few times with children after school," confessing her tough schedules as a young trainee.

She said, "I'm worried about what if I can't sing for the rest of my life because I'm having fun for a while now."

Lastly, Jihyo and Sejeong expressed how thankful they are for what they've reached now.
