If Zhang Hao is No. 1 in class, Phanbin is definitely the No. 2 with this result.

Na Kamden
“Help this poor kid, he is trying his best.” This poor leader from G Group’s Back Door immediately made me want to “ARGHH” the other members when they did not respect him, and what was worst, they vote for and gave him the leadership role. Kamden is definitely one who can perform and I really love the fact he joined LAW led by Park Han Bin.
