Beckham then took off his mask to reveal that it was none other than NU’EST’s main vocalist Baekho. Some of the panelists expressed surprise at how young Baekho was when they saw him.
Baekho is currently active in the unit group NU’EST W and shared that he had participated in composing and writing the lyrics for the group’s recently-released album “WHO, YOU.” Hearing this, singer songwriter Kim Hyun Chul praised him and said, “I’m sure you’ll keep writing many songs in the future, and one of the biggest strengths you’ve got is your ability to take on a wide variety of genres. I’d like to meet up with you and work on some music too.”
After departing the stage, Baekho was asked about his special talent of imitating cicadas that had made people laugh in the first round. He said, “I really don’t have an individual skill to show off, but wearing the mask gave me confidence.” Baekho also stated, “This was a show that I’d wanted to appear on, and I received such great praise that meant more than any ranking. Even though I was eliminated, I’m happy. It was an opportunity for me to work hard and do my best.”
