VIVIZ revealed her firm performance philosophy on SBS's variety show "Whatever You Want - Secret Service" (hereinafter "Secret Service").

According to Nielsen Korea, the the 28th broadcast of SBS Friday entertainment program "Whatever You Want - Secret Service" recorded a household viewership rating of 3.7% (Seoul metropolitan area basis) and a target audience rating of 1.7% for the 2049 demographic. The peak viewership per minute reached as high as 4.4%. Returning with a new season after approximately seven months, "Secret Service" led viewership growth from its first broadcast, announcing a successful comeback.

In that day's broadcast, Lee Seo-jin and Kim Kwang-kyu, reunited for the new season, were shown attending to VIVIZ's Waterbomb schedule as their first "my star." From the start, the two maintained their lively chemistry. When producers asked if they liked their partners, Lee Seo-jin retorted, "What if I don't like it? Will you change me?" Kim Kwang-kyu responded, "Who can handle a prickly young master's personality? Only me. It went well because I laid the groundwork properly. 'Whatever You Want - Secret Service,' do you think you could make it without me?" This drew laughter from the audience.

For the two men with an average age of 56.5, Waterbomb was truly a new world. The generation gap exploded even during their first meeting with VIVIZ. When Kim Kwang-kyu revealed that Lee Seo-jin did not know VIVIZ's hit song "Night Red Bean Soup," Lee Seo-jin explained, "I don't know much about songs. I don't know many singers either," and added, "I only listen to pop music." In response, VIVIZ bluntly said, "I get a feeling that you're not very lucky," turning the scene into laughter.

Behind the glamorous stage, VIVIZ's professional side also drew attention. Having managed her diet for two weeks ahead of Waterbomb, VIVIZ was so nervous before the performance that her hands trembled, yet she stated firmly, "I believe one must be worth the money. One must make people who paid to come happy." Once on stage, she delivered an overwhelming performance as if she had never been nervous. Watching this, Kim Kwang-kyu exclaimed, "She's a born artist. She seemed nervous, but then again, 'Ah, indeed a pro. This person is the real deal.'"

After Waterbomb, an unexpected debate over university name origins unfolded between Lee Seo-jin and VIVIZ. VIVIZ claimed that Inha University stands for "Incheon Hawaii University" and Ajou University for "Asia State University," prompting Lee Seo-jin to strongly refute her claims, sparking a heated exchange. Eventually, Kim Gura and Ji Seok-jin were summoned via phone to conduct fact-checking. VIVIZ then told Lee Seo-jin, "You're really frustrating. You have a somewhat tiring style," and added, "Senior, you're a bit truly annoying," adding more laughter.

After the day concluded, Lee Seo-jin commented on VIVIZ: "She is someone who confidently paves her own path, going in the direction she wants regardless of what others say." VIVIZ also expressed satisfaction, saying, "I feel good because you treated me kindly."
