-I think it's okay for her to release a song like this once in awhile. It will only become a problem if her next releases are going to be like this tooㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It really sounds like a PSY's song
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I came to defend her, but it's definitely a PSY's song
-The song itself is not that bad, but I think it's quite disappointing because it doesn't have Hwasa's 'own color'
-I understand why some people think it sounds like a PSY's song. But it's not that bad.
-Whenever someone joins P Nation, it always turns out like this...
-I personally don't think it's that bad...
-Oh... What a waste of her singing skills...
-Oh... It wouldn't be surprising if PSY sang this.
-To bring Hwasa to the company and give her such a song...
-It sounds like a PSY's song. Where did Hwasa's uniqueness go?
-Is this the title track?
-I think it's Hwasa's first time doing this kind of song... Isn't it okay for her to try different things?
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋI burst out laughing the moment I pressed the play button.
BTS' fandom, also known as ARMY, has voiced their opposition to the return of former ADOR CEO Min Heejin. Some fans expressed their opposition after Jungkook showed his support for NewJeans, which caused a stir among fans.
On the 16th, a group of BTS' fans, who referred themselves as 'members of the BTS ARMY community,' issued a statement through online communities saying, "We express unified opposition to the return of Min Heejin as CEO of HYBE's subsidiary label, ADOR."
ARMY stated, "We are all aware of the actions done by former CEO Min during BTS' military service. She had consultations with shamans with the intentions to harm BTS and she also attempted to manipulate Korean media to create negative public opinion about BTS and ARMY. We urge former CEO Min to stop using artists and fandom as shields for her own agenda and to spread lies."
On the 11th, NewJeans held an emergency live broadcast on Youtube titled, "The Things NewJeans Wants to Say." The members expressed they still have confidence in former CEO Min and requested for 'Chairman Bang and HYBE to restore ADOR to its original state by the 25th.'
Additionally, on the 14th, BTS' Jungkook, who is currently serving in the military, posted five heart emojis and a 'fighting' emoji on his dog Jeon Bam's Instagram account, along with the caption "Artists are not guilty", leading to speculation that Jungkook was indirectly showing his support for NewJeans.
-What does BTS have to do with Min Heejin....?;; Why...?
-Is BTS part of ADOR? Who do they think they are to oppose or approve?
-This is complete nonsense. Why are they acting like that?
-It's hilarious that they're doing this right after Jungkook showed his support for NewJeans. I've never seen a fandom prioritize a company over its members.
-What does this have to do with BTS?
-My goodness... I feel so bad for the babies. Please stop this. I actually like BTS, and there are plenty of reasonable fans, but the rotten apples always spoil things.
-Why are they acting like that, seriously? Just kick out Min Yoongi, you crazy people.
-Why don’t they mind their own business and get involved where they belong?
-There's someone else they should be getting rid of...
-Are they fans of HYBE, not BTS? It looks like they're gonna bash the hell out of the members if they don't renew their contracts.
-Jungkook must feel really embarrassedㅠ
-👁️👄👁️•••
-Who do you think you are...?
-Why do they meddle in everything and cause such a mess?
The cat's meowing, which accounts for a full minute out of a song that's less than three minutes long, carries no intention or meaning. The weightless repetition forced into the intro, outro, chorus overdubbing, and even the rap part quickly becomes tiresome, and most importantly, it steals the spotlight from the members’ voices. It seems like Teddy didn't participate in composing this song. This debut song from the first girl group under his label is frankly crude.
The simple combination of the bass and kick drums throughout the whole song fades out due to the identical structure of both verses and the 30-second instrument break, meant to showcase the choreography, dulls the little impression the song leaves. The monotonous rhythm, inaudible lyrics, hollow repetition, and one-dimensional progression all fail. This is because the song fails to achieve one between the image they want to showcase and the message they want to convey, leaving a vagueness. If there is one thing worth noting, it’s Gawon’s vocals. But the song isn’t solid enough to highlight the individual strengths of the other members. I wonder why they think one forgettable hook song seems more important than a good piece of music you’d want to listen to over and over again?
-I finally finished being brainwashed and I came to actually like the songㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-But seriously, why did they make their debut song, a song they'll have to perform over and over again at concerts and on TV, something that just goes yayayayaya'?ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-I love the song. I liked it even more after watching the choreography video.
-I enjoy the song because I like the group, but when I look at the song alone, it makes me question 'This is a song?'. I can't express it well, I'm not good with wordsㅋㅋ
-I love it so much that I listen to it every dayㅋㅋㅋ They're the only girl group I'm actively searching for performances of, but damn it, there are no stages...
-I listen to it every day...ㅋㅋㅋ 1 star is too harshㅋㅋㅋ
-I think it was a good song for getting their name out there, especially since there are so many girl groups now. I'm looking forward to their next song.
-I get what he's trying to say, but I still enjoy listening to itㅋㅋㅋ
-The lyrics in MEOW are literally 'yayaya'ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-I started liking the members' charm more after watching their stage performances, but the song is still disappointing. Teddy, please help them out more.
-It's just so predictable and cliché... not fun at all.
-Teddy should've put in more effort since this is the first group he's putting his name behind... Even if he didn't compose it, that doesn't excuse it. Being the head of the label means you're responsible for these things...
