Below are translated comments from Korean netizens
1. Rei's snail bun hero ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ So cute ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 2. Jang Won-young, Liz, and Rei seem to suit this concept well. 3. Are they going for a B-movie style?
4. Rei is going to make me die laughing ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 5. The members are all so pretty.. The agency should spend more money. 6. Seriously, Gaeul's face isn't even visible. If they're going to pick photos, at least make the members' faces clear, right? Is it true they can't even pick good photos?
7. Wow, Liz is so beautiful. 8. What's so important about that mask? Just put it on the members' faces, why a close-up of that? Focus on their faces! The video was shot well, but these photos are lowering expectations. How much longer will this go on? 9. It feels like a 'Korea's Next Top Model' mission result ㅋㅋㅋ Gaeul would probably get the highest score.
10. I understand why Starship gets criticized. 11. When IVE releases concept photos, they should disclose the names of the concept and photo selection managers, just like the inspector's name on a milk carton.. Just say it once and be done. 12. I just want to see pretty photos!!
13. Wow, I actually thought they chose them well. 14. Isn't that mask the main point? It's in the album's composition, it's an extra story, I think it's good. 15. It's great,,, the masks are also unique and pretty.
16. It's good, why? 17. The photos are amazing, An Yu-jin's styling is so beautiful. 18. Those masks look so tacky.
19. It feels very fitting for this album's concept. 20. The photos are great ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Showing the mask details is also cool. 21. They really don't spend money.
22. It's good, right? I wonder if they'll wear these on music shows. 23. Being faithful to the concept is fun ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 24. These aren't concept photos, concept photos will be released separately.
25. Liz and Yu-jin have a realistic feel ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Like heroes ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 26. The cast is good, right? Each hero mask has different details, it's fun to show those.. 27. And Won-young is really tall ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
28. Oh, this concept suits the members well 💖 29. The concept is interesting, why isn't the reaction better? 30. The quality difference compared to the new group from the same company is too big...
31. I thought it would be a Marvel style, but it's more like a Disney teen show hero, I was like 'huh?' for a moment ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 32. I really want to see the video ㅋㅋ 33. The masks look too much like they're 3D printed, I don't really like them, they should have been processed more.
34. Rei's snail bun hair is really cute ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 35. These aren't concept photos, it says so above, these negative comments reallyㅋㅋㅋ 36. It feels like a movie heroine concept. Isn't it shot according to the concept?
37. I was expecting Marvel, but it looks like 80s Japanese anime. 38. So beautiful... I was shocked when I saw it. 39. Oh, these aren't concept photos? Then I'm even more excited for the real concept photos ㄷㄱㄷㄱ
40. They just don't spend enough money, it's amazing they even released this as a teaser.. 41. I heard Kiki is a company in the industry that doesn't worry about budget and does whatever they want, investing a lot in production costs, but IVE seems to be working on a cost-effective basis, which sometimes makes me a bit angry. But the concept itself is interesting. 42. How would the public know these aren't the real concept photos? Seeing something like this might actually lower expectations ㅠ What is Starship doing...
43. The concept is so strong ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ The video makes me even more curious. 44. So interesting ㅋㅋㅋ 45. Are these the best photos they could choose?
46. Rei's hair is too cute ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 47. As soon as I saw it, I thought it was 3D printed... 48. Is it like magical girls?
49. I like it, it's unique. 50. Ah, so cute ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 51. Ah, why so cheap?
52. IVE version magical girl concept, very welcome. 53. Oh oh, what? Magical girl concept? 54. Yu-jin reminds me of Wonder Woman ㅋㅋㅋ
55. The photo composition seems beautiful, but maybe there's an issue with the selection and editing? The concept itself looks good. 56. Oh my snail bun hair. 57. Is it a 'WandaVision' concept?
58. IVE and Kiki's aesthetics always have a subtle gap, I don't know how to explain it... 59. I... I like it? All the details are visible..... I don't feel like it's cheap;;; It suits them like a hero comic. 60. A bit like Supernova.
61. It doesn't look expensive at all. 62. The song will be good again, right..? I'm looking forward to it. 63. Why does it feel so cheap??? The photos themselves look like a B-movie.
64. A cheap version of aespa's Savage ㅋㅋ 65. The members are all really pretty, if they just spent a bit more of the money they earn, it would be perfect. Only the people are pretty, but other parts clearly show a lack of spending, you can tell from the background.
