During the recent shoot, MC Lee Soo Ji was so overwhelmed by the contestants’ bold energy what producers called “two-hot mode” that a fan had to be brought in mid-recording to cool things down. She later commented, “There were so many attractive participants. Seeing how many of them struggle with love made me want to help boost their self-esteem.”

Kim Jong Kook also expressed surprise at the dramatic transformations, saying, “It really showed how different someone can look when they work on themselves. It made me realize how positive change can affect perception.”
