In response, Yoon Soo-il praised on SBS Radio's "Kim Tae-hyun's Political Show" on the 31st of last month, saying, "The two made a great song on the theme of apartments that fits current trends. Even as someone who has done music all my life, the sound, beat, and melody line are very attractive enough to be loved worldwide." He added, "Since there is a big age difference like with my daughter or granddaughter, it's a bit difficult to meet, but when I start activities with a new album next year, I think we will meet someday," and said, "I want to buy them a meal and warmly encourage and congratulate them."

Meanwhile, Jang Beom-jun participated as the leader of the band Busker Busker in the 2011 Mnet audition program "Superstar K3," finishing as the runner-up.
