Channel Fullmoon (채널십오야) closed out its competition between veteran variety producer Na Young-seok and the channel's junior producers with a live broadcast announcing the final results, and the comment section quickly settled on the story of the night. The most-liked comment summed it up: "Bottom line: Na Young-seok won 2-1, but the one loss went to a producer just six months into the job" (결론요약 : 2:1로 나영석님 이겼는데 1패가 반년차 PD에게 짐 ㅋㅋ). Another top comment came from a viewer who said they voted for the first time, writing that Na's entry was of course enjoyable but that the junior producer's clip "Off-Work Order" (퇴근령) "was purely more fun," and that the contest showed Na "is really good as a player too." A third widely liked comment argued that, after watching the behind-the-scenes videos, the first junior producer put the show's Gemini integration to the best use — from checking shots of Karina to confirming food ingredients and pruning research — and called the format "fresh and really fun."

Much of the reaction centered on Na himself, in both his roles. One viewer wrote that "the reason 'Off-Work Order' was loved is that people love Na Young-seok," while another noted that his on-camera reactions carried that clip and that his own entries still won on views across all three rounds. Several commenters highlighted his conduct as a senior, with one calling him "a great adult paving the way for the young people coming up behind him" for the feedback and encouragement he gave the juniors, and another saying the project made the channel feel like "one team, down to the youngest producer." Others were surprised by the score itself, with one writing, "I assumed it would be 3-0 given the view counts — 2-1 is the biggest twist." Viewers also relished specific details, from the 0.42-point margin in the first match that ultimately decided the series to the mention that producer Park Hyun-yong (박현용) had been giving behind-the-back lectures on Na's directing philosophy, which one commenter called the funniest part.

The overall response ran warmly positive, with a streak of running jokes about what comes next. Noting the team's upcoming vacation, one commenter quipped, "Someone teach him how to start a live stream by himself before you go, so he won't be lonely," while another suggested the channel "shoot content teasing Na Young-seok whenever there's nothing else to do." The competition's AI angle produced its own meme, with one viewer listing "the people who beat AI: Lee Sedol, Shin Jinseo, and Na Young-seok." Several commenters asked outright for a second season, floated a matchup between Na and producer Lee Myung-han (이명한), and congratulated the juniors, with one writing simply, "Wow, the maknae producer is amazing."
