Taewoon stated, "I had the chance to experience a survival program on 'Show Me the Money'. The atmosphere of 'Show Me the Money' and 'Mix Nine' is completely different. For 'Mix Nine', there is a one week training period. It was difficult practicing under someone's control." 

He continued by saying, "I'm older than the other contestants. Keeping up with the competition is the most challenging part of the show. In the beginning, I didn't think it would be that hard, but I turned out to be wrong. However, I don't regret one moment. If I could turn back time, I would still apply to go on 'Mix Nine'." 

Taewoon confessed he wants to close the survival program chapter of his life, especially after his experience on 'Show Me The Money' seasons 4 and 5. "I don't want to appear on any more competitive programs. I want to be an artist in the future. I would like my music to be well-received by the public. I will put my best foot forward."
