On this day, Jang Beom-jun said about his participation, "Originally, I was going to promote a concert, but it was canceled. Honestly, I came out without much meaning," adding, "There isn't much meaning, but I will do my best."
Jang Beom-jun expressed confidence in winning, saying, "It will be difficult to imitate my own voice."
However, the impersonators showed exceptional skills. There were the most applicants ever, and they were talented individuals who overcame a competition rate of an astonishing 375 to 1.

Jang Beom-jun repeatedly asked, "Is this for real?" showing a stunned expression at the unbelievable outcome. Those watching also reacted with disbelief and disappointment.
Jang Beom-jun said, "I guess it can happen, what can I do? My voice is changing like this. Since this voice fits my flow, if people felt differently, wouldn't it just be that way?" He added, "First of all, I feel these people are amazing. I will try to make good memories within this experience."
