Although the five members did not make it as a whole to the performance, Kangta and Tony An filled the H.O.T. stage with SM juniors.

First, NCT Dream started the stage with 'Candy', drawing attention. NCT Dream gained huge popularity with its 2022 remake of H.O.T.'s hit song 'Candy', sweeping the top spot on various charts and music shows.
