Both the judges and audience members cried as they gave him a standing ovation. Im Jae Bum teared up himself, and by the end of the performance, every single heart in the studio was moved by the stirring cover. Commenting about his tears, Im Jae Bum said, "I don't have any friends. I have no one to tell my very personal things to. I suddenly got very sad about that." Im Jae Bum's mission song was about having somebody there and being there for somebody, so it seems like he felt emotionally moved by the lyrics. He rose to the #1 spot with 28% of the votes this episode. Reflecting over the song, Im Jae Bum mused, "Today, I sang my song, which Yoon Hang Ki wrote. I was afraid of this song since I thought that I wouldn't be able to sing it. I was even too scared to listen to the original version. I think a greater force made me sing." Viewers commented, "It seems like a tiger who had been through everything sang that song", "I have nothing to say. Through his song, all of Korea felt the same thing", and "I've never cried so much while listening to a song..I don't even know why I'm crying".
