The moment The8 SEVENTEEN successfully made the members laugh happened during the second half of the ad-lib member challenge, GOING SEVENTEEN. It all started with Hoshi's obsession with tigers, and that fact is already known by many people.

Even before The8 could finish his sentence, Woozi and DK burst into laughter and applause. The8 continued his statement, "...and tell him to live with a tiger for a day."
