The character had already appeared in the preview content released before the new song was out. Thus, fans showed quite a surprising reaction when they heard allegations of imitation. However, the similarity of the look was so high that one might think it was an official collaboration, whether in appearance, expression, or feelings, it was very similar.

Netizens have expressed their regret about the possibility of Jeon Somi's MV being a copy, saying, "The song is good, the MV is good too, but why did they have to put that character in?", "It feels like a rip-off right away", "I wish I could see more of Jeon Somi's face".
