Yuna said, “Last year, through the first mini album ‘Sequence: 7272’ and the first single album ‘Sequence: 7272’, I showed the cuteness and brilliance of a 17-year-old girl.

Yuna said, “The choreography is also exciting and fast, just like the song. As we set the theme of this album as ‘The Journey of Light’, there are many choreographies with light as the main focus.” Sua also said, “In the choreography, we intend to show an energetic image. Not only that, but I also practiced the facial expressions acting hard, so I want you to focus on that part and watch the stage.”
