During the radio appearance, Gummy discussed her fifth album 'STROKE' and her British-pop inspired title song "I I YO" produced byGil. She also shared her thoughts on singing ballads, saying,"Up until now, I've sang songs that have to do with separation, so I wanted to sing a song that showcased my life story.

After her live performance, hostKim Shin Youngasked,"In all of Korea, your voice is well-suited to fit any type of song, and many people would rank you in the top five vocalists of all time. What are your thoughts?"In response, Gummy said,"I don't think so.

In addition to talking about IU and Park Bom, Gummy also relayed her thoughts onSISTAR'srecent disbandment, stating,"SISTAR was full of energy and that's why I liked them. Each member had a different tone to their voice, so I was able to tell which member was singing which lines."
