To the delight of the audience, he greeted them in Filipino, saying, “Magandang Gabi, ikinagagalak kong makita kayo. Namiss ko kayo!” (Good evening, I’m glad to see you all. I missed you!)
Hae In shared that he initially planned to return to Manila in 2020, but he had to postpone his visit due to the pandemic. This made his current reunion with his Filipino fans even more special.
Hae In interacted with the audience by answering several questions.

During the last segment, Hae In read heartfelt letters sent in by his fans. In response to one letter, he shared his own struggles and determination to pursue acting against familial concerns. He highlighted the moments of loneliness and confidence that paved his path to success.
