At the end of Saturday’s broadcast, Wooyoung said, “We are going to perform together on the show to cheer on the PyeongChang Olympic Games on Feb. 19. It is a national event and we got the good chance (to perform) with Taecyeon, who is serving his military duty.”

“Thank you for giving us such a good chance. We will make a great performance with Taecyeon supporting the athletes who participate for the Olympics,” he said.
