She astounded the panel and audience with her singing, displaying confidence and skill while harmonizing with her competing masked singer, "Beethoven Virus." They sang the song "Star Falls" by Travel Sketch. Panel member Yoon Il Sang, who is a singer, composer, and music expert, praised "Mom Hates UV Rays" ability to control her vocalization and delivery, as well as her perfect pitch.
