Park Ji-soo (Kim Jae-kyung), producer of the elite group TORINNER, plots to completely crush NAZE. He invites NAZE to make a guest appearance in a venue filled with TORINNER fans, but the audience is silent. The plan is to humiliate NAZE.
Jisoo revealed this plan to Ryo (Iwase Hiroshi) of "TORINNER." A weekly magazine reporter, Kazamatsuri (Kawachi), came along laughing and said, "If (NAZE) suddenly walks onto the stage, that'll be the end of it. What a tasteless prank. Just imagining the silent audience breaks my heart. Ah, poor NAZEs." He seemed to enjoy it.
On social media, he attracted attention with comments such as, "Kawachi Yamato. It's Exit 8," "Oh! Exit 8!!," "Kawachi! Something's wrong!! (Not true)," "Was that his only appearance? I hope he appears again," and "Kawachi Yamato is in high demand for dramas this season."
