[ The MC’s speech has been marked in italic for easier identification! ]Welcome, judges, to this Special Recap episode! We’ll start off with a topic I’m sure many are curious about. Well into the season, rumors surfaced about a possible rivalry between Hyun Bin and Baek Jiyoung– Baek Jiyoung chuckles immediately, and cuts the MC off. “’Rivalry’ sounds kind of extreme,” and all of the CEOs laugh. Yes, okay, but regardless, there were rumors that the pair of you clashed so much that it delayed this season from beginning. Baek Jiyoung already commented, but Hyun Bin, you stayed relatively silent. Do you have anything to say about it?“I was too busy building my winning team to comment previously,” he fires back, and he’s the one to chuckle this time: the only evidence he isn’t entirely serious. He looks over at Baek Jiyoung briefly before continuing, “It takes a certain personality to run a company, and Sphere Entertainment and NOVA Entertainment are very different companies. Naturally we’d have different viewpoints, but I think we can both agree everything turned out well for us.”“That’s right,” Baek Jiyoung agrees with a smile and a nod. “I think maybe, Sphere and NOVA had the most to prove this season of the competition, and that showed, both in our contestants and in our own planning stages.”“She sounds awfully happy with the results for having twice my shot at victory and only ending up with second place,” Hyun Bin comments, and Baek Jiyoung scowls at him.“He won’t let it go!”, she laughs good-naturedly. Even though there are clear differences between the judges, it’s great to see they can be friendly to each other!“Friendly… For now.” Hyun Bin jokes, giving off a small smile, that has everyone shocked at first before the room bursts into laughter. -- source link
