Yoon Seok-min recalls his initial passion for baseball at the very place where he first started playing as a child. He reflects on his fiery baseball career, from his active years as an ace player for the Kia Tigers to the moment he was forced to leave the mound due to injury and retire.

Reflecting on his journey, Yoon Seok-min shares, "Don't be disappointed just because you couldn't do something; don't feel sad just because you lack confidence — just go ahead." He conveys the idea that failure can ultimately become a valuable experience. Despite enduring multiple failures and injuries, Yoon Seok-min reveals how those experiences will help him live the rest of his life.

Song Ga-in also recalls her eight years of obscurity. With only one or two events per month, she struggled financially and faced unfair treatment and abusive language from others, which drove her self-esteem to rock bottom. Yet Song Ga-in never gave up. Even during tough times, she told herself, "Just wait and see!" and imagined herself performing at a dinner show ten years later.
