In the process of making the songpyeon, Taeyang asks his fans if there are any stories about him circulating in Uijeongbu, and one fan reveals, "I heard one person even jumped out of a bus window when they recognized you during your student days," Soompi reported.

Taeyang also serenaded the fans with his song "Eyes, Nose, Lips" along with some games including Yunnori (A Korean traditional board game), charades and Pictionary. The date was filled with laughter, funny conversations, and good time.

At the end of the broadcast, Taeyang stated "This meeting was all the more meaningful because these guys are my longtime fans. It was a bit awkward at first but I am happy because now we feel like a family and I hope we get to hold these kind of event more often in the future," AllKpop cited.
