The group's win comes after a competitive episode featuring performances from various artists, including Yeonjun, RESCENE, and MONSTA X's Kihyun. This marks another milestone for ATEEZ's "BAD" promotions.
What the internet did with it

- Yeonjun's performance of "Ice Cream" also garnered attention, with fans praising his solo stage presence and vocals.
- RESCENE's "Pretty Girl" performance was noted for its high-energy choreography and catchy hook, with some fans expressing surprise at the group's *사이다 (sai-da, or "refreshing") vibe.
