After finishing the stage, he expressed a sense of achievement for completing the performance despite disclosing his physical hardships. Immediately after the stage, Namgung Jin shared his thoughts, saying, "Until yesterday, my legs wouldn't work so I was worried if I could even go up, but it worked today. Today is a miracle, a miracle."

He revealed that he put in blood-sweating effort for two weeks for this stage. He suggested that it was not easy to prepare such a stage in a short period without a foundation. On-site, evaluations were made regarding the posing Namgung Jin showed during the stage, noting that his core muscle strength was tremendous. The cast mentioned that seeing Namgung Jin's posing while climbing the stairs, they tried to attempt it themselves, but noted the difficulty was so high that even just holding one's body was not easy.
