On the same day, 2NE1 made an appearance on "You Hee-yeol's Sketchbook" where they performed the unplugged version of the song live in order to commemorate the "Sewol" ferry disaster that occurred a month prior on April 16. In the performance, each of the group members are seen bearing a yellow ribbon—which served as a symbol of remembrance and sympathy for the lives lost in the sinking. The stage was met with positive reception amongst netizens, who applauded 2NE1's emotional delivery and the atmosphere of the performance, further commenting "I got live goose bumps" as well as "the song and lyrics of 'Come Back Home' are really comforting".
