Members noted the 'BTG'point performance and hoped for a challenge syndrome that connects 'I Do Me'. Isol shot a challenge with I.V. with "I Do Me".

As much as the direct senior was mentioned, I am also curious about the advice given by Ive, a senior fellow worker. Kiya also encouraged us by saying, "'Fighting.'" He didn't spare any encouragement. It was such a happy time", Ji-U practiced briefly with her seniors. Liz and the vocal teacher were the same, and they told me to cheer up."
As Ive has achieved great success, it seems that he will be burdened by playing as a "Ive junior". Kiya said "It is more of an honor to debut as a junior member of the seniors rather than a burden. I'll show you Kiki's own color after you."
At the same time, he also gave advice from Seo Hyun-joo, the general producer of Starship. Kiya said, `Producer Seo Hyun-joo does not spare any advice. Always be grateful. And the producer was recently chosen as the Billboard Women in Music. I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you. And thank you for bringing the five of us together."
