Then, when Jennie appeared, she and Jo Jjazz exchanged greetings in casual speech, creating a friendly atmosphere. It turned out the two were already close friends. Seeing the brooch worn by Jo Jjazz, Jennie said, "Cute," and when they saw themselves on the live screen at the venue, she reacted casually, saying, "Whoa, this is really funny."

In the full interview, Jo Jjazz introduced himself as "in his second year since debut," and Jennie said, "I am in year 11," adding, "Meeting like this, all dressed up and in an unfamiliar way, feels new."

After the interview, Jennie cheered him on by saying, "Finish it," and Jo Jjazz answered, "I will do well," creating a warm mood. The two left a record of the day by taking commemorative photos.
