The author then praised Wonyoung for her live singing skills, especially the idol's low register during live stages. The caption was also accompanied by a clip from X (Twitter), which showed Wonyoung slaying her lines in "HEYA" during a stage performance.

"Jang Wonyoung's live performance is so good that I feel like throwing up in a good way. She delivers a live performance that's better than the original version with her low-pitched voice. The way she sings 'tam-i-tam-ina' makes me think that I'm losing my mind."
