Recently, some netizens have been suggesting that compared to her fellow group member Na-yeon's solo debut, Jihyo's debut work hasn't received as much response. They posted a discussion titled "Is the company being too unfair to Jihyo?" which quickly became a hot topic on Korean internet forums as soon as it was published.

The original posting stated that they were quite looking forward to Jisoo's solo debut, but after the album was released, there was a significant disparity in the reaction compared to last year's solo debut of group member Nayeon. They even exclaimed, "The comparison between the two is too obvious."

The original poster believes that Nayeon's songs and dance arrangements are very special, thus becoming a hot topic among the public. Even before the song was released, the costumes in the trailer alone attracted the public's attention, it's clear that a lot of money was spent on producing the music video.

However, compared to her works, Jihyo's song is a very common style, there seems to be no special part, and it even points out that the SOLO song did not allow Jiyeo to show her skills in high notes and dancing. There is even no highlight in the song, and even the stage does not have any particularly impressive places.

The original post stated that not only the songs and dances, but also the overall outfit in the MV were all quite make fans feel regrettable. Compared to the SOLO styles of other girl groups, the individual songs of BLACKPINK's JENNIE, ROSÉ, LISA, and Jisoo are very suitable for each person's color. They also expressed disappointment that Jihyo's SOLO song was somewhat ordinary.

After the post was exposed, it immediately triggered a wave of discussions among netizens. Many netizens believe "You should be grateful for being able to go solo", "It's not easy for girl groups to go solo, besides BLACKPINK and Nayeon, very few group members have successfully gone solo", "I also think the song is quite ordinary", "I don't know if it lacks star quality, overall it's really just okay, it seems not to be an issue of the company", "If it's her personal style choice, it seems the company can't be blamed".
