A highlight of the event was a surprise for fans. Messages of appreciation toward fans were flashed on electronic boards, while actor Jang Hyuk, an old friend of the group, appeared as a surprise guest.
The band, which debuted in 1999, is considered one of the first-generation idol bands here, along with Shinhwa, Sechs Kies, Fin.K.L and S.E.S, which led the thriving K-pop scene in the early 2000s.
