Jeon So Mi admitted, "At first, we were friendly and on really good terms, but they kept making us compete against each other, so even though we were close, we got a bit awkward [around each other].  After the [first place] was revealed in the finale, Kim Se Jung came to me and talked to me, saying, 'We were close but it feels like we grew distant because of the show, which is a shame.' Now, there's no need to say how extremely close we are."
