Legacy

In October 2018, MBC aired the special documentary Youth Documentary: Twenty Again (청춘다큐 다시, 스물), in which Park Kyung-lim reunited with her New Nonstop co-stars, including Zo In-sung, Jang Na-ra, Yang Dong-geun, Lee Min-woo, Kim Jung-hwa and Jung Tae-woo, to reflect on their time on the show. Zo recalled that the series had allowed him to experience the ordinary university life his busy schedule had denied him. The special recorded a 3.2% rating in the Seoul metropolitan area.
