The first episode of MBC "King of Mask Singer" featured an opening stage by Solji. EXID's member Solji was singing on stage and Hani was caught on camera- tearing up. The panel said "Hani was tearing up."

"I'm so proud of her," said Hani with a shaking voice as she was crying and Solji said, "Hani, don't cry," while she was tearing up as well. The two had gone through the hardship of being unpopular singers for a long time together, touching many hearts in the studio.

It was the moment when the whole point of "King of Mask Singer" had been revealed. The contestants have great skills but have not been recognized for those skills until now. The intention of the program was displayed in that very moment.

Solji had been the first star of the program. She was expected to be an ordinary girl group member but her professional vocal talents shocked everyone in the studio.
