The video went viral and brought a lot of negative comments toward Somi. Netizens said this was not the first time she had been compared to Rosé. They shared old and new clips to show the similarities. Some fans felt angry and said it was too much. They believed Somi copied Rosé’s personal concept for her solo stage.

Still, many people defended Somi. They pointed out that both idols are under the same agency, The Black Label. Because of this, they might share similar ideas or get help from the same team. Turning the two girls into rivals creates unnecessary drama.
