In relation to being the oldest singer in first place, J.Y. Park said, "After being first place for two weeks, I've now come down. �I was called the oldest. �I don't know if I should be happy about that. �When I debuted, I wanted to become a long-time singer more than a popular singer. �I especially wanted to be a dance singer and in that regard, I am both proud and a bit scared as I wonder why it's only me [remaining as an older dance singer]."
