At the salon, Tomo was given the full K-Pop idol transformation:
And he left the subscribers breathless with the photo shoot.
The video received a tremendous amount of attention, with the subscribers convinced that had Tomo chosen so, he would have easily been signed to that idol life!

- “It’s a relief Tomo-chan wasn’t spotted by Lee Soo Man first.”
- “I love how Yu In’s reaction wasn’t fluttery. She was more like, ‘This kid’s pretty good at this… Maybe even better than I am!’ That was funny.”
- “Thank goodness he settled in Busan first. Had he started his life in Korea in Seoul first, he would’ve 100% been snatched up as an idol trainee. No doubt.”
- “I seriously think he could be a model. His poses and eye contact are so natural — not even a hint of awkwardness. Another talent discovered!”
- “Tomo looks like a mix of Sungchan and Shotaro. Like a softer Sungchan… Not a buff deer but like a flower deer vibe!”
- “Wow… Another heart-fluttering moment. When everyone else was freaking out, Tomo kept a straight face. But when Yuin smiled, he couldn’t help but grin, too.”
- “To-Eunwoo, congrats on debuting.”
