As the idol went live, he stated that he had cut his hair while wearing a mischievous smile and showed his new hairstyle. He also clarified that he did not have short hair, refuting the rumors of a buzzcut or shaved head.

The idol also suggested fans listen to Jungkook's Please Don't Change and the 3D remix featuring Justin Timberlake. He also said that he was going somewhere far next day but did not specify the location.
