Upon the release of the trailer, excitement swept over fans, who eagerly welcomed the return of their cherished rapper-composer duo. Beyond their artistic partnership, the two share a longstanding friendship.

For those unacquainted with their dynamic, the duo's last public appearance left an indelible mark on fans' memories during the AGUST D D-DAY THE FINAL tour in South Korea, held in August 2023.

Despite the brevity of their performance, it was a moment of sheer energy. El CAPITXN, with his extraordinary DJ skills, transformed the venue into a pulsating club, infusing the atmosphere with electric energy that resonated with the audience, while they screamed "SH*BAL" at the top of their lungs.

A user on X, @joonsmilesss, expressed their excitement by calling them the "SHIBAL duo."
