Concluding the fan meeting, the members expressed their feelings, stating, "We've been dreaming of this day since the beginning of the year, and we're so happy it's finally happening. We are deeply grateful to EXO-L for believing in us and waiting patiently. We will continue to show you even better performances and be by your side. We will work hard to fill 2026 with EXO."

Fans attended the event in coordinated red and green outfits, symbolizing spending the year-end holiday season together. They also participated in sing-alongs for 'First Snow' and 'Into My World', and held slogan events that read, 'We are always by EXO's side, wherever and whenever' and 'Our love will continue beyond the word 'end'', drawing attention.

Fans reacted with immense excitement, commenting, "Finally, a comeback!", "The 2.5-year wait was worth it", and "Hoping this album is a huge hit too." Many were also touched by the members' heartfelt messages shared during the fan meeting.
