About his Coachella performance, Taemin said, “It was a stage I’ve dreamed of for a long time, and I’m truly overwhelmed that the dream came true.” He especially recalled the moment when the audience turned on their phone flashlights, saying, “From where I stood, it looked as beautiful as stars floating in outer space, and I was genuinely happy.” He also explained the bold choice to unveil six new songs at once during this performance: “It was a fresh and fun experience that stepped away from the usual way.”
