The couple reportedly learned the purpose of the performance from an acquaintance, then contacted the organizers directly to express their intention to participate. While the two had previously been spotted together at airports and baseball stadiums, this was the first time they appeared together at an official event.
 
Song and Saunders took to the stage as narrators in the first part of the program. Musical performer Kim So-hyun and violist Hsin Yun-huang also made special appearances in the second part.
 
The couple was warm and affectionate with each other throughout the event and posed for photos with audience members.
 
Song and British actor Saunders first met through a mutual acquaintance in 2021. Song announced their relationship in December 2022 and his marriage to Saunders and her pregnancy in 2023. They subsequently welcomed a son in June of that year and a daughter in November 2024.
