While addressing the audience, the leader also recalled The Rose's initial shows in the streets of Hongdae. Talking about the band's first performance at Coachella, Kim Woosung said,

“When we first started, we started in a very small place in Seoul called Hongdae. That’s where we used to busk and street-perform and do little club gigs here and there. And our very first show as The Rose, we had about 20 people show up, and half of them were our friends. But look at all you motherf—ers now!”
