Super Junior member Kyuhyun, who made his final appearance, visited Penghu for the first time, and his appearance immediately triggered deafening screams. The organizer thoughtfully gave him a local specialty brown sugar cake for him to try. Kyuhyun also happily shared his food experience like a big boy, revealing that he drank the local cactus juice as soon as he landed and called the taste "sweet." He is a fan of Taiwanese breakfast. He was even more satisfied early in the morning and ate hotpot pasta, egg pancakes, and even oysters and fried rice rolls. He praised the Penghu cuisine for being so delicious. In addition to chatting about food, Kyuhyun, a fan favorite, sang the Chinese version of "Those Years" and the classic ballad "Tomorrow" more affectionately. His warm and delicate voice evoked memories full of memories, leaving the fans in the audience mesmerized.

Tzuyu’s mother Huang Yanling personally contacted Taiwan affairs, and netizens debated the future development direction

Huang Yanling, the mother of TWICE member Zhou Ziyu, personally contacted her daughter's affairs in Taiwan and clarified through IG restrictions that the report involved speculation. There are rumors on the Internet that the establishment time of his personal company is incorrect. It was actually approved and established on November 28, 2025, and the chairman is Huang Yanling. Some netizens believe that this move shows that Tzuyu may increase her autonomy or pursue a solo career. Others pointed out that establishing a Taiwan company is a common business layout and does not mean leaving JYP or entering the Chinese market.
