Kristel says that during the rehearsal, the Korean technical director, who unexpectedly informed her that she would no longer be hosting the event due to her apparent lack of energy.

Fulgar was still able to have a conversation with Seo In-guk one-on-one despite being unable to organize the event. The two sang a duet of “All For You,” a song from Seo’s popular TV drama “Reply 1997,” they also took a couple of photographs during their meeting.
“It’s truly an honor. I’m so happy today. I might not be hosting but it’s alright. I’m glad to meet you,”
she said to In Guk.
