In fact, the title, Be With You, was his idea.
Through a translator, he explained, "From my debut, until, you guys always be with me. So I just want to say thank you and I'm gonna be with you, too.
"So today, I prepared this whole thing today, to be with you."
"I have chosen the title 'Be With You' because of the love and support that you've given me...
"And it also contains the meaning that I wanna be with you moving forward, as well."
