On Sept. 14 at 7:00 p.m Korea Standard Time (KST), a special broadcast of the outdoor date streamed live showing Taeyang enjoying with his fans while making songpyeon (a type of Korean rice cake). In the process of making the songpyeon, Taeyang asks his fans if there are any stories about him circulating in Uijeongbu, and one fan reveals, "I heard one person even jumped out of a bus window when they recognized you during your student days," Soompi reported.
