Through YG-Life, representatives stated, “On May 29th, 2NE1 will be performing ‘Lonely’ on broadcast only once.”

Ki Kwang also came out on the show and kept me in check. The monkey makeup punishment was embarrassing too. I’m proud to have been nicknamed ‘the dance copier’ and I’ll remember the classroom being warm… I’m beginning to miss the last recording of ‘100 Points’ and the show itself. Thank you to everyone who had faith in me during my time on the show.”
In response to his sad tweet, fans replied, “That’s too bad”, “Thank you for all your hard work”, and “I miss you already, now that I won’t be seeing you [on the show].”

Also, the response to SNSD’s performance was simply amazing.
One netizen stated, “At this age, I never knew I would go back to the college I graduated from just to see SNSD. I never went anywhere just to see celebrities, but I waited 3 hours just to see SNSD.”
Another netizen stated, “It was so hectic that I thought Hanyang University was going to collapse. It was as though when the girls came out, all the students had an out of body experience. Also, when SNSD sang ‘Gee’ I was reminded of the military because of all the guys singing along to it.”
Other netizens commented, “I thought I was at some photography convention. Everyone here brought very high end cameras and camcorders. So much so that I was too embarrassed to film with my cell phone.” “It was a good thing no one got hurt despite the large mass of people.” “Even though the other singers were good, SNSD was the winner and simply stood out above the rest.”
