It focused on the interview of members Sung Han Bin, Ricky, Gyuvin, and Gunwook.

They also noticed that the members who are already known for being good singers, such as Sung Hanbin and Gunwook, were even better than expected.

The vocal prowess of this unit was doubly surprising considering that some of their top vocalists were not present. Zhang Hao, who sang high notes in Boys Planet performances such as “Kick It” and “TOMBOY,” will still appear in the next episode.

Kim Tae Rae, the member who was dubbed the main vocalist in the final episode, was similarly not in the “Phonecert” performance.

Thus, the skills of Sung Hanbin, Ricky, Gyuvin, and Gunwook were acknowledged.

I'm just so proud of them. Hao and taerae is not even here yet and they're considered the best vocals out of the 9 members. They're sooo good! Hanbin's sweet voice and blending, gunwook's lead vocal material, ricky's falsettos, gyuvin's tone as well. Jebewon you'll be successful! https://t.co/rnpHcEcrYb

don't forget to emphasise sung hanbin is the MAIN DANCER of zb1 to the non-fans who were drawn in by his vocals, let everyone know sung hanbin is all rounder ace (would be good to direct them to his dionysus cover in the same ep and mention his pro experience with it
