On Sunday, May 12, following Xdinary Heroes' comeback with their first full-length album, Troubleshooting, the members kickstarted the promotions for the same by attending Park So-hyun's Love Game Radio Show. During the radio program, they talked about various things that surrounded their comeback.
One of the things included Jooyeon commenting on Xdinary Heroes' relationship with their senior group, Stray Kids. The idol explained that only the day before the group's attendance at the radio show, Stray Kids' Han contacted him and complimented their recent album.
Additionally, the idol also revealed that the members often saw Stray Kids:
"I see the hyungs a lot at the company."
Since both the groups are from the same entertainment agency, JYP Entertainment, Jooyeon stated that the members run into Felix, Changbin, Chan, and Seungmin quite often. Every time they cross paths with each other, the Stray Kids members apparently never forget to shower the group with compliments on their music.
