■ "I never thought I’d sing this again"... Recalling Memories from 8 Years Ago Ahead of his recent live clip shoot, MINGYU expressed a mix of excitement and nerves. "I really thought I’d never have the chance to sing this again," he admitted shyly, reminiscing about his younger self—the 22-year-old boy in a white suit and brown hair. Reflecting on how awkward singing felt back then, MINGYU, now nearing thirty, showed his growth as an artist, noting that he can now "sing with a much more comfortable heart."

■ Healthy Energy in an Unchanging Voice… "Beautiful Lyrics Created with Woozi" After the shoot, MINGYU shared deep reflections on his vocals. Despite exploring various genres and evolving his vocal techniques over the years, he was surprised to find that his "voice hasn't changed as much as expected." He also mentioned fellow member WOOZI, who worked on the song with him, saying, "'Like the Beginning' can refer to anyone or any moment." He expressed his sincere hope that the beautiful story within the lyrics reaches the hearts of fans.

■ A Heartwarming New Year’s Gift for Fans… "May Every Moment Be as Beautiful as the Beginning" At the end of the video, MINGYU concluded with a warm New Year’s greeting. He hoped that fans watching the video would find it a meaningful opportunity to refresh their mindsets for the new year. Fans responded enthusiastically, saying, "It’s touching to see the evolution of MINGYU’s vocals," and "MINGYU singing 'Like the Beginning' at thirty is the best New Year’s gift ever."
