<p> Snow Man fans who were watching the show took to SNS,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Meguro&#8217;s nickname is Megumi, and I&#8217;m sure he has a girlfriend.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> It&#8217;s like saying, &#8220;There&#8217;s a girl who watches TV with me.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> It&#8217;s hard for me to think about it, because I think, &#8220;He said that about his girlfriend. What a thing to say at such a happy time when she&#8217;s temporarily back home!</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I&#8217;m so shocked by what Meme said during the &#8220;Gentleman&#8217;s Championship&#8221; that I can&#8217;t get any work done. &#8230;&#8230; She can&#8217;t tell a lie, can she?</span></p>

<p> There was no prior announcement, and the singing by the nine members was a pleasant surprise for the fans. What did you think of Meguro&#8217;s performance?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Meguro, you must have been in acting mode for a long time, but even though you haven&#8217;t sung and danced in a while, you don&#8217;t seem to have lost any of that blank feeling.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I didn&#8217;t expect to see Meguro on a music program. I know she just came back from Japan and she must be jet-lagged, but she was really amazing. That was the best performance I&#8217;ve ever seen!</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> [Claire] I cried at the sight of Ren Meguro singing along with the dance formation without missing a note, despite his overcrowded schedule after returning to Japan. I knew Snow Man was better with nine members.</span></p>
<p> The audience was full of praise for the performance. I&#8217;m so happy to see you guys! must have made those who had been bothered by the incident in &#8220;Lovit!</p>
