In the first part of the event, which was held under the concept of 'Taepung Corporation's executives and employees welcome new employees', Lee Joon-ho, Kim Chang-hoon, Kim Jae-hwa, Kim Song-il and Lee Sang-jin stamped their approval on the job confirmation form and presented gifts to the audience, giving them unforgettable memories. In the second part, executives and employees, led by President Lee Joon-ho, performed stage greetings. In particular, Lee Jun-ho introduces the benefits of new employees and guarantees happiness and fun every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 p.m""It heated up the scene with a promise. In addition, the private lesson 'Until the day our wing flaps become a typhoon and we move to the 界' was released, raising the atmosphere even further. It was followed by a 'Aspiration Drawing Event' in which the audience participated directly and a photo time with the actors, and a rich fan service with laughter and emotion was held.
