The song was also recently performed by TWICE's Mina and hence elicited comparisons between the two.

Meanwhile, fans of both idols called out malicious commenters, they commented:

Iconic!
Her English is so good
She ate!
NAKO APPROVES
Yeonjun was right when he said dance can’t be even fun anymore because of comparisons and fans making it into a competition. Why are some ONCEs in the qrts doing exactly that? If we don’t like it to be done to TWICE then stop doing it to others.
uhm... I guess not everyone can be mina
Why are ONCEs on the qrts acting like BLINKs?
What’s the point of having a hand mic if you're doing playback with terrible vocals btw.
WE ARE GETTING 6 SOLO PERFORMANCES??? THANK YOU IVE
What's the point of wanting to compare her cover with Mina? Kind of stupid who wants to compare, right?
Her and Mina covering "7 rings." Oh my bias wreckers are doing their thing!
ONCEs better not to be comparing since TWICE themselves are victims of accused copying
Soojin, Mina, and now our sunbae Gaeul???
THAT'S MOTHER RIGHT THERE.
I SEE IT, I LIKE IT, I WANT IT, I GET IT
