Crush, known as a "digital music powerhouse" and the voice behind numerous emotional drama OSTs, showcased a sweet and soulful stage performance during the episode.
Having collaborated with many artists, Crush shared, "I've done collaborations with many singers, including Zico and Zion.T. With IU, we even did a kind of guest-exchange system for our concerts," revealing the close connections he's built in the industry.

Among all the artists he's worked with, Crush singled out J-Hope as the most unforgettable figure. He explained, "The most unforgettable artist was BTS's J-Hope. Since he's a global superstar, I was really nervous, but in reality, he wasn’t like that at all."
Crush shared a memorable experience, saying, "I often perform congratulatory songs at weddings, and it turns out J-Hope’s older sister is a fan of mine, so I went to sing at her wedding. As a thank-you gift, J-Hope gave me a custom microphone. It was a microphone entirely encrusted with Swarovski crystals."
