When asked about the recording of KBS2's "2023 Music Bank in Paris," which was released on the 7th, he answered in English.

He said, "My story may sound like a 'boomer' because the generation is different. I think greeting has become a level that is not basic manners. I’m not like cussing people out or anything, but I feel like I’m thinking too much about it because if you see someone walk by, you say hello, then if they don’t reply back, you’d be like, ‘What the…okay.’ But I feel like it’s come to the point where this generation is allowed to do that, just not care, if that’s right."
