The music video also sparked a forum online on May 14, when netizens praised the quartet for not following the "easy-listening" trend in K-pop and going out of their comfort zone when it came to musical direction.

Netizens also expressed how commendable the production was since the song brought back K-pop's unique aura and diverse feel.

"It's been diluted in K-pop these days," OP shared. "But K-pop's original assets were diversity and the group's unique aura."
