The live broadcast attracted 96,000 viewers.

At their request, Yoo Jae-suk, Lee Hyori, and Rain asked viewers to suggest stage names through real-time comments.

Among various suggestions, Yoo Jae-suk said, "SSAK3 is pretty good," and Lee Hyori and Rain agreed.

Yoo Jae-suk then decided on SSAK3, saying, "It’s easy to say, and as a group name, it’s bold. It also gives a 1990s vibe and suits us well."

Rain said, "Thank you very much for deciding on the name 'SSAK3'."

Lee Hyori also said, "I will work hard so that everyone can be amazed, just like the stage name," bringing laughter.

Yoo Jae-suk added, "Social distancing is still ongoing. It will take time to return to a perfect daily life, but I look forward to that day and will cheer for it."

Previously, 'How Do You Play?' had prepared a co-ed dance group project for this summer.

Curiosity arose about who would form a team with trainee Yoo Jae-suk, and with Lee Hyori and Rain joining, attention was focused.
