The group CLOSE YOUR EYES shared a rehearsal scene filled with a mix of tension and excitement ahead of their NOL Festival stage. A video released by the CLOSE YOUR EYES YouTube channel captures the rehearsal process held the day before the festival, the members' daily conversations, and their impressions after completing the performance.

Rehearsal focused on filling Xiang's absence

On the day before the festival, the members of CLOSE YOUR EYES arrived at the site for rehearsals to begin full preparations by checking the stage composition. The rehearsal on this day proceeded without the participation of member Xiang. The video mentions that they would perform Xiang's parts in her stead, and the members rehearsed diligently so that Xiang's absence would not be felt.

Daily life behind the scenes, from drink choices to fruit snacks

While waiting to prepare for the stage, the members were seen deciding between various drinks and snacks. One member who prefers iced tea chose a large iced tea, while another member chose an iced americano. During the waiting time, the members replenished their energy by sharing fruits such as stevia tomatoes, rice cakes, and grapes, with conversation following about how the grapes were as large as a face.

The atmosphere at the site captured the unique feeling of the festival. In the video, there was a mention that the atmosphere of the venue felt somewhat like a fashion show. Throughout the rehearsal, scenes of the members practicing choreography and the vivid movement of the site continued, showing the preparation process for the stage.
