The photo stirred a lot of awed reactions amongst the panel of celebrity judges, as they are stunned at how beautiful she was as a child. They complimented her natural and youthful beauty and told her that she did not change at all.

Jihyo was unfortunately eliminated on the first round by a difference of three votes, which had her worrying because she had over 10 years of training. Fortunately she was met with an uproar of support and applause.
