Hey Ryeowook, if this is content for your 20th debut anniversary, then at least memorize the lyrics. Why are you looking at your phone to sing ‘When We Were Us?’
To this, Ryeowook left an honest reply.
죄송합니다. 보기 불편하셨죠.. ㅠ 가사는 알고 있지만 긴장해서 까먹을까봐 그랬어요ㅠ 잼있는 컨텐츠였는데 20년 노래불러도 음원인척 라이브는 첨이라 땀나더라구요🥲 저희 노래 들어주셔서 감사해요 ddagae님 좋은 하루 보내세요☺️ https://t.co/qPaQ7EHWTc

I’m sorry. It must’ve been uncomfortable to watch. I know the lyrics, but I looked at my phone because I was nervous that I would forget them. This was supposed to be fun content, but even after singing for 20 years, I was sweating because it was my first time singing a song live while pretending to be a track. Thank you for listening to our music and I hope you have a great day.
