On July 21, Star Crew Ent. shared that Ha Sung Woon sent a message of encouragement after watching HOTSHOT's comeback stage this past July 15.

Ha Sung Woon wrote, "I felt like my heart was going to explode when watching their first stage on 'Show! Music Core'. I also searched for HOTSHOT and monitored them when I had the time." Ha Sung Woon jokingly added, "I'm still continuing my nagging on the members. Also, I feel like the key was a bit off without me. It feels empty now since they used to be with me all the time. I miss them. I believe you will take care of them well while I'm gone."
