Korean newsoutlet 10Asia, as cited by Korea Boo, quoted producer Lee Hwan Jin: "The episode is set to air 2 weeks later, so it's difficult for me to tell you the content of it, but it was kept very secret so everyone was surprised." It further added: "It will be filled with secrets and surprises so please look forward to it."
Gary was with the SBS show since the time of its first broadcast, that is eight years ago, and has got a very good relation with almost all the cast members. Gary left the show in October last year stating that he wanted to focus on his music career.
