As a return gift to the fans, the idol not only rented out a large studio for the fans to wait in before the kickstart of the pre-recording, but also sent them back home with a handful of gifts. Some gifts included lunch boxes, desserts, drinks, perfume sets, lip balm, photo cards, and more.
While fans and netizens continued to praise the idol for his generosity towards those who came to support, people were soon disappointed to find out that some attendees took the gifts home to sell online.
