On May 24, 2024, the latest episode of "Music Bank" aired. There, NewJeans appeared on the music program to promote their latest release, "How Sweet," which was released on the same day. The song was released at 3 PM, meaning it had not been that long since the song was made public.

For this airing of "Music Bank," ZEROBASEONE member Zhang Hao took on the role of Special MC. Having Zhang Hao as an MC excited fans, as the idol is a well-known K-pop fan. Back in January 2024, a video of Zhang Hao dancing to "Baddie" during an award show went viral, showing how enthusiastic the ZEROBASEONE member is to K-pop, and girl groups in particular.
