This was the first time we heard about it in 9 years. We never talked about it accurately. For 9 years, we thought Park Jin Young invented it. It was when the CEO was watching a movie. You know how in disaster movies, the subtitles would be like “Day 1, Day 2,” stuff like that? He said “Day 6” came up. He saw it and got a vibe. That’s how it was born.
