As a group with 23 members, Ryu confessed that it was not easy due to various details. It even took him 2-3 days to organize the members' routine. Despite this, he revealed a good impression on the team and said:

"NCT members are friends I've seen for a long time. I've seen them since I was a trainee, so I know their tendencies and dance styles well. And because everyone dances so well, they memorize the choreography quickly and understand the intention of explanation quickly."

Along with NCT, Ryu also praised global group BTS whom he worked with abroad.

"BTS is indeed sincere on stage. I have strong confidence that (their performance) "would go well." After the concert, I always asked the dancers for opinions on the choreography and stage, and I thought it was really cool to see it. We're sending infinite respect because they were such a good group."

As the choreographer of the track, he shared a sense of accomplishment with them. He conveyed his sincere feelings for PENTAGON and said:

"I'm close to the PENTAGON members, and I felt really good and happy to win first place on public TV this time. I like Michael Jackson and Chris Brown, so I made the choreography in that mood this time, and the response was good and I had fun making it, so I worked without stress."
