However, they eventually decided to do the audition and got accepted. Their mother revealed that since they were children, both Dongmyeong and Xion have a lot of friends that are loyal to them. Their mother brought them to the sauna, and surprisingly 10 of their friends also come there. The twins asked their mother to buy ice cream for their friends that came. One cute story of their childhood life: Xion had a fever, so their mother gave him some syrup medicine. But, when their mother was gone, Dongmyeong came and persuaded Xion to drink more of the syrup by saying that it will make him get well sooner. Instead, Xion fell into a deep sleep all the way.
