Kim Seon-ho further expressed his gratitude towards his parents, where he used the word dad twice instead of mom. He expressed with a smile that he was nervous and stated:
"Lastly, thank you so much to my parents, to my dad & dad, to my mom & dad. It's because I'm nervous. To my dad & mom, thank you!"
