As the sudden anecdote was revealed, Jang could not hide her flustered expression but tried to recall the memory. While saying, "I don't remember exactly," she explained, "Even if it was while drinking, I wanted to offer my congratulations, and since we didn't have many points of contact normally, I think that was the first time I reached out."

Hearing this, Harry Park remarked, "The fact that you tried to look after your junior even while drinking feels even warmer," to which Jang joked with a hint of regret, "It would have been a really good story if I had cheered for him when he was still a raw gem before everyone else recognized him."
In response, Kim quipped, "You didn't even look my way when I was a raw gem," turning the set into a sea of laughter, and Jang immediately replied, "I'm sorry," completing the unique, playful chemistry between the senior and junior.
The conversation between the two provided laughter to viewers, blending the heart of a senior sincerely celebrating a junior's growth with a natural 'tiki-taka' that turned the moment into humor.
