Others claimed that the Winter and Ryujin outshined Hanni.
- "I'm not trying to disrespect Hanni, but I don't think she suits Gucci after seeing the videos and photos from this fashion show. Either way, I think she would have been prettier if she has long hair."

- "She looks like a child imitating an adult wearing mom's clothes."
- "Honestly, I don't think Hanni has ever suited Gucci. Her face is an elementary school student, but her clothes are like mom's clothes. Everyone says she's pretty and cute when she's in NewJeans. Objectively, Gucci doesn't look good on teenagers."
