During an interview on December 6, Jung PD shared his thoughts on the show receiving the highest viewer's ratings in two years, saying, "It's such a relief."

Prior to this, the December 3 broadcast filmed in Austraila recorded a total of 10.3% (Nielson Korea). This marks the highest ratings in two years since the variety show reached a 10.1% rating back in October of 2015.

Jung PD mentioned, "Starting back in April, I discussed with the members about plans to recruit new members and start a new project. And that was when the ratings were at its lowest (3%) and I told them, 'Just do whatever you guys want to do. We'll do our best to back you guys up."
