TXT member HUENINGKAI said:

"We had a meal with JIN sunbaenim and while eating, we touched upon various topics. He mentioned his upcoming comeback, and we shared a lot of supportive messages, expressing our belief that it would go well and our gratitude. JIN sunbaenim kicked off his comeback really well with the pre-release track 'I'll Be There,' so we prepared diligently for our own comeback."

Seokjin hyung knows we have a concert today, and he sent us a supportive message about it. He also said he's really looking forward to the album coming out tomorrow."
