Juyeon: Firstly, I feel so touched from the fan-video, thank you Singapore Villains! There were several comments that touched my heart— “there is no villain without heroes”. But I also think there will be no heroes if there were no villains. Let’s be Heroes and Villains forever! The reason why we’re living everyday is because of you guys. Fighting and I love you! 

Gunil: Nice to meet you guys. We have come to Singapore for the first time and you guys gave us a memory that we can never forget. We prepared a lot for this concert and I can tell that you guys also prepared so much for this concert, seeing how you guys prepared those posters and fanboards. I love your guys really! (In English) It’s been a while since I spoke English. Today’s stage was possible because of you guys.
