On that day, Kim Ji-hyun's "Cat's Eye (1997)" from the group Rula ranked 8th. Kim Hee-chul explained, "To exaggerate, at that time it felt like a combination of Taeyeon, IU, and Suzy. Because it was the object of admiration and love for all men."
Lee Ye-rin's "Always Like Now (1996)" ranked 7th. After watching the stage, Lee Mi-joo commented, "Even without excessive exposure, I can feel the sensuality," and noted that it was chosen as a good song by KBS Radio producers, achieving the top spot in broadcast frequency.
Turbo's "Tonight (2000)" secured the 6th position. Kim Hee-chul commented on Kim Jong-kook, saying, "His muscle mass is 72.6 kg, and his body fat is 9.6 kg. They say this is almost a sports level physique."
Meanwhile, within the mini-corner titled "Random Chart That Mi-joo Likes," "21st Century HOT Body Singer Hit Song" was also introduced.

The stages of Sistar, Jay Park, HyunA, and Trouble Maker were also revealed.
Min Hae-kyung's "Miniskirt (1991)" was introduced at 5th place. After watching the stage, Kim Hee-chul remarked, "Is that what they call a lingerie look? I really like it," and mentioned, "I'm more of a lower body type," asking Lee Mi-joo, "When looking at a man's body, are you upper body or lower body type?" Lee Mi-joo responded, "I look at character," creating a cheerful atmosphere.
SHINHWA's "Hey, Come On! (2001)," which was the first idol group to release a nude photo book, was presented at 4th place, alongside materials showing behind-the-scenes of the photo shoot. It was also noted that member Kim Dong-wan's bulk up was a topic of interest back then. It was said that his ex-girlfriend disliked thin bodies so much that after their breakup, he naturally developed a muscular physique through exercise.
Mina, who secured 3rd place with "Answer the Phone (2002)," recently confirmed her physical age to be in her 20s during a broadcast, and Lee Mi-joo revealed Mina's health secret by stating, "For a staggering 20 years, she hasn't skipped exercising and stretching for two hours every day."

The coveted 1st place went to Clon's "Come Back (1999)." This song, which recorded immense popularity immediately after its release and contributed to increased album sales, is also famous for the stage performance of 1st generation Hallyu dance star Koo Jun-yeob, who reportedly often took off his clothes on overseas stages. In response to this, Kim Hee-chul said, "I should also go on an overseas tour. Since the members, including Lee Teuk, Siwon, and Donghae, took off so much, I will be the first idol to take off my lower body. I will wear the underwear of the fans from the country I'm going to as a sign of affection for them," evoking laughter.
