Lastly, Choi Go stated, "I want to work again. I will not make a mistake like this again and I'm really going to work hard. I was so happy when I was preparing to debut and promoting as ZEST. I practiced and exercised all day so my body was tired but my heart was fulfilling. Recently, I've started practicing again. I'm working harder than I have during debut. I want to return as Choi Go who was full of energy and present an amazing stage."
