Following their spectacular performance, Yunjin grabbed the mic to share some advice for this season's 'AGT' hopefuls. “Whatever the outcome, it’s all a part of you. So what matters is the passion that brought you here. I hope that that stays with you forever. We’re all rooting for you. You guys are so talented, and it’s been an honor to share the stage with you," Yunjin said. Soon after, the 'AGT' host Terry Crews went on to say, "The group is definitely on its first-ever world tour, and they will be releasing new music next month."
