It was especially meaningful as leader Hanbin is one of the current MCs alongside RIIZE‘s Sohee and BOYNEXTDOOR‘s Jaehyun. It was even Hanbin’s one-year anniversary on the show!

gyuvin passed the mic to jiwoong for a speech but jiwoong said 'our leader hanbin will be giving his speech' ㅠㅠ

from surprising him with a cake for his first mc anniversary to letting him share his thoughts on their win, jiwoong must know how special this win is for hanbin…… pic.twitter.com/GCZSbQd4H1

It was meaningful for all the members as this marks their first M COUNTDOWN win. ZEROSEs recently noticed that Zhang Hao could not hold back his tears, especially when he met eyes with Hanbin.

ZEROSEs were naturally emotional, seeing how emotional Hao was.
