The male idol competitors of Mnet's upcoming new show 'Hit the Stage' shared how their members reacted to them joining the tough competition, during the show's press conference.

SHINee's Taemin first shared, "We haven't been able to see each other because of our schedules, so I wasn't able to hear words of encouragement. But I believe they will reach out to me after the broadcast."

Next, INFINITE's Hoya revealed, "For some bizarre reason Sunggyu hyung really likes my dance. I don't usually film myself, but I do now and send it to him, because he asked me everyday for my dance practice video. Now that I think about it, I appreciate him."

Block B's U-Kwon shared Zico's advice, and said, "Zico told me I have to prepare hard for it, to the point where it almost seems excessive. He said its because I'll be in a situation where you never know what can happen."

TEN also shared a message from his NCT members as he said, "Thank you NCT members for telling me good luck."  Lastly, MONSTA X's Shownu stated, "They even came to the recording and cheered me on. I really appreciate it."

The first episode of 'Hit the Stage' airs July 27!
