• K.Will Encourages Seo In Guk and Ahn Jae Hyun: “This Isn’t the End, There’s More to Come”

    On the June 28th broadcast of KBS 2TV's music variety show 'The Seasons: Zico's Artist' (hereafter referred to as 'Artist'), K.Will, Chuu, N.Flying, and TWS will appear.

    K.Will, who debuted in 2007, had his first stage on KBS's 'Yoon Do-hyun's Love Letter.' Known for his impressions of 'Angry Ha Dong-kyun' and 'Park Hyo-shin singing Pippi Longstocking,' K.Will also showed off his dance moves to IVE's songs. Zico praised K.Will's passion, saying, "Even after 18 years since his debut, he still gives his all, and I respect that."

    Returning with his new song 'There’s No Farewell Song That Suits Me,' K.Will mentioned the music video featuring Seo In Guk and Ahn Jae Hyun's love story, which has become a hot topic. The audience watching the music video live at the venue couldn't contain their excitement and surprise. K.Will sent a video message to Seo In Guk and Ahn Jae Hyun, saying, "This isn't the end. You know that, right? Let's stay strong for the next one," hinting at a third installment and raising expectations.

    Chuu also made a return with her lovely new song. Known for her expressive performances on stage, Chuu amazed everyone by showcasing a variety of expressions to match Zico's singing. Having transitioned from a girl group to a solo artist, Chuu mentioned that her role model is IU. She shared a nervous moment when she recently met IU at her concert, saying, "I wrote her a long letter, and she hugged me as soon as she saw me."

    N.Flying's Lee Seung Hyub, who recently gained attention for his role as Baek In-hyuk in the drama 'Run with the Sun,' talked about the changes since the drama's end. He mentioned the curiosity about In-hyuk's original job and shared stories about the viral stage performance. He humorously noted, "Wearing sleeveless shirts seems to work well for me, so I wore one today too." N.Flying performed the OST from 'Lovely Runner.' Yoo Hwe-seung added that it felt surreal hearing his voice in the scenes featuring Byun Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon, not just his bandmate Seung Hyub.

    TWS, who caused a sensation with their debut song, appeared with 'First Meetings Don’t Go as Planned.' It was their first time performing while interacting with the audience, and they shared their nervous and excited feelings. True to their refreshing idol image, they practiced smiling brightly together in a circle in their rehearsal room, giving each other feedback.

    Zico expressed his desire to learn their fresh energy, jokingly becoming the seventh member and joining their informal rehearsal. Contrary to their usually shy demeanor, the members confidently gave feedback to Zico, with one saying, "That's not really important," and another suggesting, "You should smile a bit more," which brought laughter to the set.
