They said, "I think a lot of people avoid us because of our image. We wanted to make friends at 'Idol Star Olympics,' but they kept their 10m distance." 

Despite the rumors stating that 'Idol Star Olympics' was similar to a meeting point or meet-and-greet area for many idols, Nine Muses expressed their disappointment when they were left to keep to themselves.

The girls continued, "The result [of our competition] was poor, but we kept our seats warm. It was mentally straining, but we tried to focus on the games. It was a place where everyone gathers, but it felt like we were alone."

Nine Muses also agreed that the male idols seemed awkward around them as they said, "We heard that 'Idol Star Olympics' was a meeting point [for many idols], but we don't think we can agree at all. Male idol groups would greet us with a 90 degree bow and acted uncomfortably. We were probably the ones who appeared the most [in the games], but there was no 'pink atmosphere.'"
