Wendy: I did it for two years, took a break, and have been back at it for half a year.
Jung Hyung Don: Why?
Wendy: I was doing musicals, but I also really wanted to do radio, too.
Chung Seung Je: I guess the musical wasn’t working out for you.
*Jung Hyung Don and Chung Seung Je laughs*
Netizens couldn’t understand why an online instructor was even appearing on live broadcasts.

- “Then he should just be a math instructor; why is he appearing on the broadcast.”
- “You can see if it’s rude or not if you think about what the public opinion would have been like if Wendy had said the same thing. Wendy must’ve made the guests comfortable seeing he can say things like that so easily.”
- “There’s no other country where college entrance exam instructors appear on broadcasts, people bragging about their money, and showing off their homes like Korea, who take academics seriously.”
- “Chung is getting hate on broadcast and Hyun Woo Jin is being talked about on social media. Can’t instructors just keep their mouths shut and just teach?”
- “Another Korean man at it again…”
