B.I, Bobby, and Kim Jin Hwan also performed B.I and Bobby's composition, "Long Time No See." In addition, there was a performance of "Eyes, Nose, Lips." Taeyang stated during the event, "I really liked that I was able to listen to my song on the stage. I listened to it pleasantly because you sang it in your individual style while showing the color of your group well. In particular, I think Kim Dong Hyuk's sweet voice matched the song well, so I listened to it in high spirits."
