"'Dally' is my favorite song. It's a song that tells my story, I remember having so much fun while participating in the TopLine composition. When I was making 'Dally,' I thought I'd make a song that can show fans my favorite (and signature) Heel Dance. So, from the very beginning, I learned the choreography well, prepared costumes, and worked really hard alongside Bridg3 to make it all. The process of making it was really difficult, but it was worth it. It was a project that we successfully completed and most of all, many people love the song and amazing choreography featured in 'Dally.' As an artist and director, I was overwhelmed with emotions."
