Prior to the airing of the show, Korean fans who were selected as audience members expressed their appreciation to international fans and opted to post pictures and videos captured during filming, playfully teasing them about what they should look forward to the most in the upcoming episode.
This year, the fandoms of DANITYs (fans of Kang Daniel) and WayZenNies (fans of WayV) were sent into a frenzy when the group and the K-pop soloist unexpectedly interacted.
It was reported that WayV members Xiaojun, Ten, and YangYang were selected to participate in the 100m relay race. However, as each team is required to have four members, they will not be able to compete.
At that moment, the three individuals were spotted walking towards Kang Daniel, a former Wanna One member turned solo artist, and extended an invitation for him to join their team!

Despite being one of the MCs of the event and dressed in a suit, Kang willingly accepted the invitation, much to the excitement of the fans in the venue!
During the relay race, the four idols displayed impressive teamwork. Although Daniel struggled due to his unsuitable outfit, he still gave his all. Team WayV, who placed 4th, acknowledged his efforts and thanked him repeatedly.
Upon seeing Daniel fall while passing the baton to Ten, Xiaojun quickly rushed over to assist him to the safe side of the ground and ensure that he was not injured.

Daniel in the interview after the race says he feels sorry for WayV. Had he known it beforehand, he would’ve prepared better. Hyunmoo says good thing his pants didn’t rip 😅
