Seunghyub said, "[Hearing] the expression that N.Flying is a band in connection to F.T Island and CNBLUE does not make us feel ashamed. If anything, we feel proud," perhaps addressing negative feedback that they were latching onto the success of the former groups? Or perhaps their names were always tied with the other groups' names, but they found no fault with that?

He continued, "Because the seniors paved the path for us, we are able to be here. We will likewise work hard to leave behind a path for the next band,"�saying they won't be let down by any negativity! They will work just as hard to succeed. Good luck, boys.
