As the interview comes to an end, Se7en leaves a message to netizens.
Hello netizens! How are you? This is Se7en.
Are netizens this direct with everybody? The questions I answered were prepared for and were truthful. The netizens’ questions were sharp and more or less surprisingly sweet. Even so, it gives me the honor and I would, again, like to thank you for the questions that you have asked. They have shown the youthful love of netizens.
‘외과의사봉다리’, during interviews and discussions, I always hear a lot of questions on my rivalry with Rain. ^^ Rain is not my rival but an older brother. I am my own rival. ^^
’s순수의시대s님’, I say it again that “Palace S” was an important work for me. Some people used the word ‘failure’ to describe ‘Palace S’ but I know that it wasn’t an absolute failure. I learned and acquired memories from it.
Finally, I want to, again, thank all of you, netizens, for all of the questions and support. For the summer, I will do recordings in the United States for a while. Then there will also be a concert in Japan, and the new album will be out. I entrust myself to all of you. Thank you ~~
