Regarding the delayed performance due to his military service, he apologized to fans saying, “To be honest, we should have held a concert after the release of my first full-length album, ‘Chocolate Box,’ but things weren’t going well at that time.”

The concert was conducted with three concepts: white, milk, and dark, and prepared a set list of twenty songs. Yang, who had been preparing for his solo concert since last year’s fan-con tour, stated, “I’m so happy right now, but sometimes I feel like I don’t want to go back. I prepared while battling a cold in May. Please don’t get sick, and I hope you will be happy with HIGHLIGHT for a long time.”

At the end of the show, he also added, “I think the concert is a time to be the most honest with everyone. I think there were a lot of really difficult moments while waiting for this moment to meet you guys. After fighting my cold that wouldn’t go away in May, I was diagnosed with COVID-19 two weeks ago. I’ve been hiding it because I didn’t want to burden everyone with this stage.”
