She also disclosed that she chose Juhyunmi's song 'Jeongmal Joatne' (Really Good), saying, "I think this is the song I've sung the most in my life," attracting attention.

In particular, she shared the deep story behind the song, saying, "In 2010, I participated in the 'National Singing Contest' in my hometown, Jindo-gun, and won first place with this song.

After hearing Song Gain's rendition of 'Jeongmal Joatne,' Juhyunmi said, "I am so glad I sang this song first," and expressed her feelings, "It was truly happy to hear a junior passionately sing it."

Song Gain won one victory in the competition against Min Woohyuk, who sang 'Woolmyeonseo Huhoehane' (Crying and Regretting).
