However, Hwanhee soon took the stage, greeting everyone with a respectful 90-degree bow and saying, "Nice to meet you."

The other active singers stood up in excitement, expressing their admiration with comments like, "I was a real fan!" and "To me, he’s a celebrity!" The mood shifted again when comedian Kim Young-chul's name appeared, prompting the singers to joke, "Is he an actor or not?" They erupted in laughter when Kim Young-chul made his entrance, exclaiming, "This is crazy!"
