This marked the cast’s return to Malaysia after their 2017 fan meet, but it was a special first-time experience for Yang Se-chan and Yoo Jae-seok, who finally had the chance to meet their Malaysian fans in person.

A hilarious highlight came when Se-chan cheekily asked, “Saya kacak, kan?” (I’m handsome, right?) and even playfully proposed to fans with, “Jom kita kahwin” (Let’s get married).
