Yunjin and Winter's dinner date in Japan proved that their friendship is still going strong. It was noted by Korean netizens that aespa and LE SSERAFIM seem to be close to each other since their schedules tend to overlap. They added that it was a pity that some K-pop fans have tried to pit LE SSERAFIM against other groups, especially aespa, in an attempt to alienate the girl group.

Some expressed surprise that Winter and Yunjin were still friends even when it was revealed that HYBE's founder Bang Si Hyuk asked ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin to "crush aespa." However, fans stressed that there was no way their friendship would fall apart just because of their company's representatives.

On the other hand, many expressed shock that fans were able to find out Yunjin was on a dinner date with Winter from that small hint, and joked that those who discovered it must be a detective.

Some comments from netizens read,

• "Huh Yunjin is close with Winter and Hanni (NewJeans), and Karina is close with Hong Eunchae. These groups have a good relationship with each other, but their fandoms are always pitting them against LE SSERAFIM and trying to alienate them."
• "There is no way their friendship would fall apart just because of their company's representatives. It's not like it's the '90s."
• "They have always been close."
• "Are you f*cking Detective Conan?!"
• "Their schedules always overlap. It appears they got really close."
