The release of this new group photo is seen by many as a signal of the show's evolving format, leading to various speculations about future cast compositions.
Netizens commented, "The vibe has totally changed," and "Will Minho be able to fill Key's spot?" showing mixed reactions of anticipation and concern regarding the cast changes.
