Next is a Q&A session with Ampers&One regarding the conclusion of their first Asia and North America tours.
Q1. What are your thoughts after completing the first Asia and North America tours?
Nakemden: It was a time filled with learning opportunities as I was able to perform on stage more often. I am truly grateful to the fans who enjoyed the performances with us.
Brian: I was able to experience a lot of new cultures through this first tour. It was really fun and interesting.
Choi Ji-ho: It was really exciting and nice to meet overseas fans directly and perform. Based on what I felt on stage each time, I was able to learn how to perform more joyfully and excitedly.
Yoon Si-yoon: It was a huge honor to be able to do a tour like this, and I was happy and enjoyed the many experiences.
Kailrel: I had so much fun that I feel sad it’s over, and it ignited a greater passion in me. I want to create even more wonderful performances in the future.
Makaya: As it was our first tour, it was a great experience where I learned a lot and grew. I was happy to meet many new fans through this tour.
Kim Seung-mo: Although it wasn't an easy schedule, it was great to see more fans. I am grateful for the opportunity to perform on many stages. Various experiences and learning have given me confidence.
Q2. What was the most memorable stage during the first tour?
Nakemden: The most memorable stage was in Orlando, Florida. It was our first standing concert where the audience jumped and danced along to our songs, and I am very grateful for that.
Brian: The performance in Taipei during the Asia tour stands out in my memory the most. My grandmother came to see our stage for the first time and smiled brightly. I was so happy and proud.
Yoon Si-yoon: During the performance of the track 'Fly', fans sang along and waved their hands. That sight left an indescribable emotion deep in my heart.
Q3. Were there any fun episodes during the first tour period?
Nakemden: During this North American tour, we covered Stray Kids' hit song 'God's Menu', and there was an incident where my pants ripped during the same choreography with Brian.
Makaya: When we visited Minneapolis, it snowed heavily. While I was playing with Kailrel, I tried to throw a big snowball, but it broke apart and got snow all over my body. It felt really happy to play like a kid again.
Kim Seung-mo: We swam together with the members at the hotel. It was even more fun because it was the first time all members swam together.
Q4. How have you grown compared to your debut?
Choi Ji-ho: At the time of debut, I was nervous and overwhelmed with many things, making it hard to focus on the stage. I think I have grown in being able to communicate with the audience on stage and enjoy it with ease during this tour.
Kailrel: I lacked confidence because I was shy and nervous when I debuted. As I gained more stage experience, I feel like my confidence has grown.
Kim Seung-mo: I think I learned a lot about leading the atmosphere on stage and understanding how to enjoy the flow of the performance.
