In response, Seungyoon hinted that aside from their group income, members also received personal payment for solo activities. With this, he ranked Song Minho (Mino) as the #1 earner when it comes to personal income and explained:
"He is also advertising a lot, on top of group activities."
Kang Seungyoon then picked himself as the second-largest income earner, earning money from copyright fees and various individual activities.
Kim Jinwoo, who claimed to be a homebody ranked himself in fourth place, citing the reason why Seunghoon is third. He said:

On the same day, the two male idols shared an inside buzzword among them which is "Seungyoon, you pay."
As the MCs conveyed confusion about why he's paying for the members and not Mino who earned the most among the quartet, Seungyoon explained:
"Song Minho does it when he wants to pay, but he doesn't have to come forward."

In regards to why he's paying "voluntarily," Seungyoon made viewers laugh when Seungyoon revealed that he's actually being "pushed" to pay.
"I'm not planning to pay for it but I do when I'm told to. When we debuted, I earned copyrights fees for the songs I made so I couldn't just not pay so I treated the members a few times. It became like this."

"I have about 50 watches. Not everything, but I'm also collecting interesting watches."
Jinwoo (News1)
Jinwoo, who is a minimalist didn't understand this hobby and hilariously confessed that don't even have an expensive watch or any desire for material things.
In response, Kang Seungyoon caused laughter by telling the episode of Kim Jinwoo choosing a paper bag instead of a luxury bag.
"Jinwoo carried plastic bags and paper bags to and from the airport before we debuted. I went to the department store with the members and bought them a luxury bag. He thanked me so much, and then he carried a paper bag again."
