Ga-In's new single "Truth or Dare" was her substitute because her other single, "Fxxk U" was banned by not being shown on public television in Korea. The song is about "rumors" that are being said to her. Ga-In calls out the people by saying, “It’s so strange, when you’re in front of me you can’t say anything / But you talk a lot behind my back." The single was compared to Robert Thicke's "Blurred Lines;" though it is much better by having "adventurous chords and arrangements." Sunmi made her return by bringing out the "Full Moon" out.
