The club performance and student song festival excited Cheongju University students. There was a club performance from 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM, followed by a student song festival from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM.

Selemander and Distortion livened up the atmosphere of the night market through band performances, Citycore rap, and Able dance.

Seong-yoon Jang, a Distortion member who participated in the club performance, said after the performance, "I wanted to leave memories of the year for the last time due to graduation, and it was nice to be able to end it with a Cheongdokkaebi performance.

I hope Distortion will last forever even after I graduate.”. In addition, Distortion member Seong-bin Lim expressed his feelings, saying, “I was disappointed that I was immature with the sound settings right before the start of the performance, that I was not able to show my 120%, and that I was not able to play a little more at the end.”
