Now, Youngjae has revealed a behind-the-scenes story from this exciting moment on MBC FM4U‘s radio program Best Friend. He explained that while he has been doing musicals recently, he felt that performing on stage in the concert was where he really belonged.
Yugyeomie was there too, and I was there too, and Jaebeom hyung was watching from the audience seat… since Jaebeom hyung is currently doing his military service, so he could only watch. It was fun! It’s just been a long time… And, well, musicals are stage performances, too. And they’re great. But it got me thinking like, ‘This stage is where I really belong.’ I was really happy. It was a sea of smiles and laughter.

Youngjae also praised BamBam’s professionalism. He revealed that BamBam’s foot was hurt even during rehearsals, and his legs had already swollen. Still, BamBam performed a phenomenal show for Ahgase.
First off, Bamie was so cool. But in the middle of like rehearsals, Bamie hurt his foot because he fell down. Even his arms here was all chafed and both of his legs were swelling. So I was like, ‘Will he be able to perform…?’ But he really is a pro… he was really cool, Bamie is so cool.
