The siblings in the photo were holding a sketchbook that read, "Let's cheer hard together. Please take some throat lozenges." The candy packages they handed out were carefully wrapped in plastic containing throat lozenges, with stickers bearing phrases like "Don't say no! How? Positively!" and "Home run" affixed with care. Some of the recipients took photos with the children and the throat lozenges and shared them on X. One fan wrote, "Two boys packaged 500 pieces. The kids' father posted about it on the KT supporters' cafe," adding, "At first, I thought they might give up after a while, but they didn’t quit and cut and packaged everything until the end."
The story was also posted on the 'Suwon KT Wiz Supporters' Naver cafe. On the 12th, a post titled "Thank you for accepting the kids' candies" was uploaded. The author, who appears to be the child's parent, said, "They made a huge amount, and when I lifted the candy shopping bag, it was quite heavy," and added, "I thought they would make just a few, but it was 500. The kids said they had to take a taxi and go early to the stadium to hand them out," recounting the situation.

He continued, "Each person who took the candies said many kind words, and the kids were so happy," adding, "After handing out the candies, we received even more snacks, bread, drinks, ice cream, and photo cards. We are very grateful for creating such good memories for the kids."
