Mastering the Y2K concept and sincere greetings to fans

In this performance, Apink wore Y2K concept outfits following the stylist's suggestion. The members shared their thoughts on the stage outfits, saying, "It's not a concept we've worn much, so it feels awkward, but we thought fans would like it if we followed the trend."

The members said, "Coming to Japan after a long time made our hearts feel soft," and "We were happy to sing 'Orion', which both Japanese and Korean fans love, after a long time."
