Kangmin, who is a member of VERIVERY, previously ranked high in the initial episodes and maintained a spot in the top 9 until episode ten, when he dropped to 11th. Thoughout the season, he impressed many with his talent and skills, proving himself to be a dedicated all-rounder.

Despite this and his popularity, Kangmin unfortunately did not make the final group, scoring a little less than 300,000 points behind the person who placed 8th and made the final group. While this may seem large, larger gaps separated P01 and P02, as well as several other placements.

Many fans have shared emotional messages for Kangmin, wishing him the best in the future and expressing their regrets.
