1. [+1,296, -6] Jung Hyung Don and Defconn are good at helping idols find their charms and bringing them out

2. [+985, -6] Donnyconny ㅋㅋㅋ Hope to see more from them

3. [+863, -7] The two are the best... let's hit 500 episodes!!!!!!!!

4. [+693, -23] A combination of two hardworking MCs and greedy entertainment companies with an endless supply of idols!

5. [+575, -5] Wishing them more luck!

6. [+99, -2] The show has become a must for idols with comebacks ㅋㅋ

7. [+86, -3] Based on viewer ratings alone, the show should've been taken off air.. but seeing them going on for three years is probably a combination of good MCing + idols who like how the MCs treat them and obviously go on the show every time they have a comeback. There's no end to the idol comebacks so they're always supplied with content.

8. [+81, -2] To think that the show was just supposed to be a 6 episode long pilot

9. [+73, -1] Shows like this have no worry of running out of content because idols are always debuting and making comebacks. The MCs are also a huge part of what makes it a success as well.
