Notable participants include Jiwoo from Hearts2Hearts, Stella, Yeon, and FIFTY FIFTY's Yewon, Hana, Athena, as well as Billlie's Moon Sua, Suhyun, Tsuki, and tripleS's Jiwoo, Nien, and Lin. Moon Sua, known for having family members who are Silm athletes, piques curiosity. Lee Tae-hyun, who directly trained the athletes, expressed expectations for their surprising strength and charm. The atmosphere changes dramatically during matches, with athletes actively applying their training skills. The moment they grab the waist belt, intense competition and strategic battles begin, filling the venue with tension. Some teams humorously requested their agency representatives to buy them cars if they win gold medals. Attention is on which team will seize the medals.
