Beyond the outfit, Jennie and Nah Kai's interactions in the video were also brought up by some netizens. One netizen wrote on X: "Why can't I stand the way that guy is being pulled along by Jennie?

Another netizen pointed the finger at the format of social media challenge videos in recent years, stating: "Honestly, these challenges are only fresh for the first few times. Then everyone uses the same background music, does the same poses, the same expressions. If that's the case, I really don't understand why they're still being made."
