I remember how they always cared for and looked after us like their own children, and I want to express my gratitude once again."

Seo Jang-hoon added, "We wouldn't have been able to come this far without the mothers who always joined the recordings with warm hearts. I remember how each and every one of them always offered kind words and support."
