The broadcast showed various self-care scenes at a hotel gym, including chest workouts, pull-ups, and heavy dumbbell exercises.

During the stage preparation process, ATEEZ members, who are in their ninth year since debut, were shown exchanging opinions on styling and performance details to enhance the completeness of the stage. The manager revealed that Hongjoong and Seonghwa continued performing despite rib fractures, and Yeosang performed despite a finger fracture.

Although nervous about wearing in-ear monitors for the first time, he led the audience in a sing-along by passionately singing ″Jilpung Gado.″ HYNN (Park Hye-won) made a surprise appearance for a duet stage, and Yoo Young-woo expressed his determination, saying, ″I will sing even harder.″
