After covering “Hellevator,” Gaon said, “It seems that every we do a cover on stage, it’s that you will like it more our cover performances.”

Xdinary Heroes thanked the audience for coming to the show. 

“Actually, we are far apart. The upbringing and lifestyle are also different. But our feelings are the same when we are together. That expression seems cool. You think we’re one today, am I right? We’ll be waiting also that we can meet again in the future.To meet again as quick as possible, you should be healthy and safe. I also love you very much and I really, really missed you. Thank you for the unforgettable memories today. See you again,” said Jooyeon. 

O.de said, “The six of us can stand here and jump around it’s all because of you guys, Villains. By saying there is no forever, it seems that when we are with you, there is forever. Because of you and because of my belief that there is forever, I can give my all so I can give memories until the last breath of my life. Also for you guys, we would love to see you guys watching us grow together. Not only this time but in the future, we have prepared a lot of good memories. We have planned out something to look forward to. Because of this, I love you. I love you!” 

“Thank you Manila! Hope to see you again soon!” Xdinary Heroes' Gunil posted on X after the show.
