The clue was "Easy", a combination of their surnames 이(Lee, pronounced ee) and 지(Ji). Whenever they are paired up, they are also known for performing their "Feel, Touch, Cross!" (필, 촉, 크로스!) cheer before each mission. Initially deemed to be an alliance between the two weakest members of the show, they are quickly becoming a pairing that can no longer be simply ignored.
