I think that was something I’ll always carry with me.”
The episode concluded with NEWBEAT performing their debut song "Flip the Coin," delivering a stage full of determination, love for family, and the pursuit of dreams. The video quickly became a trending topic online, and clips shared on the group’s official social media have already surpassed one million views, drawing strong reactions from fans around the world.
