“What changed over the 10 years?” Kring Kim, the host for the presscon and fancon asked.
Jinyoung answered, “First of all the way I speak before I was talking in dialects now I am talking in Seoul dialects… And think I grew in height and my muscles have grown…”
When asked what it is like being a solo artist he said that the preparation is short because with the members usually it takes two hours.
“What’s the one rendezvous that you can’t forget?”
“For the past two years, I haven’t been performing often except the recent one with GOT7, so for me having to perform again is a rendezvous.”
Jinyoung was asked what kind of roles does he wish to undertake and he said, “Actually I want to play various roles and actually every role is special to me but I want to play a role that would match my age.”

When asked if he has superpowers Jinyoung answered space transportation [teleportation] so he can always come [to any place].

In the Jinyoung Moment segment, Jinyoung shared some of the photos that he cherished the most. He also shared one photo that Yugyeom took that’s why he loves it.

The host asked him if there’s a favorite subject that Jinyoung likes when he takes photographs, Jinyoung said that it used to be the members but now it’s more on sightseeing photos.
GIFTS
Jinyoung prepared a couple of gifts for the Ahgase. Supposedly he’ll just pick four lucky fans that will have a chance for a photo opportunity with him but he added one more, so a total of five one on one pictures with Jinyoung. He also picked six messages from the Ahgase and they also received a gift from Jinyoung! The fun doesn’t stop from there because three lucky birthday celebrants on February 26 got a personalized message from Jinyoung and three more celebrants received merch.
In the VCR the fans showed and talked about how they miss Jinyoung in their respective languages.
Jinyoung said that through the video he saw how the fans really missed the GOT7 members. He also expressed that he’s sad about being with the fans for just a day but he promised that he’s coming back and he hopes for the fans to be healthy.
Of course, there’s a GOT7 MEDLEY!
Jinyoung also performed JJ Project’s Bounce and GOT7’s A, Just Right, Hard Carry, and You Calling My Name!
Jinyoung performed various GOT7 songs and he said that the next song is “really” the last song.
