After the particular lyrics of the song were released by the idol, netizens started reacting online. Many called the lyrics out for using AAVE (African American Vernacular English) and for not making any sense. One fan commented, “Ban K-pop idols from AAVE, please,” while another shared, “K-pop idols, stop being overly go with the AAVE challenge. GO!”
A large majority pointed out that the idol should not have used AAVE in her lyrics as a mixed-race person.
Some fans, however, defended the idol and even praised her for her lyricism as well. One commented how the lyrics are connected to the variety show that was responsible for her debut into the entertainment industry. They stated that, “She’s talking about Produce 101 , hold on.”
