About Kang Seungyoon replacing him as the leader, Song Minho revealed, “I was upset. (Laughs) I was happy for the team but I thought, ‘Did we lose all that time because I was unable to do well?’ However, those kinds of thoughts could be very damaging to myself so I tried my best to not think about that. I just tried to enjoy the situation.” He continued, "In any case, I’m very thankful that Seungyoon has done well.”
Kang Seungyoon who was beside him conveyed his honest thoughts, “I was a bit sorry. (For Song Minho)”
Lee Seunghoon added, “Honestly, we actually call Song Minho “ex-leader” amongst ourselves.” causing the members to laugh altogether.
Also, “Also it’s not only because Kang Seungyoon became the leader that we have done well. It’s also just because the timing was right. Minho has followed along well too after the leader replacement and he’s worked very hard.” showing off the affection between Song Minho and Kang Seungyoon.
