When the poster was shared, while international fans loved the unexpectedly sexy and provocative nature of the poster, Korean fans shared their disgust and how they thought that the photo wasn’t appropriate, saying it looked vulgar.

And this is supposed to be cool? Hot? A photo that makes you want to listen to the song? All I see is a womanโs butt. F***, is this really an album photo? It just looks like a screenshot from porn. Thereโs no aesthetic senseโitโs just packed with sexuality, and itโs really gross. I donโt think KARDโs earlier songs were like this.

It’s extremely dirty and disgusting. I report it for sexual content every time I see it.
I don’t get why theyโre promoting with such sexual content.

WTF is this?
Yet, international netizens defended KARD, explaining that the group has always had a more mature image since debut, and some believe the “hate” is coming from fans after the debut of ALLDAY PROJECT, another co-ed group.
people: this is too sexy i don’t like it :/

It became a hit because some knetz are woke with coed group after a new group debuting and they paid attention to every kard detail as if they following and supporting since the beginning (I bet)

I’m sure it’s because there’s a woman in underwear that has those KR qts offended. A man in boxers is never a problem. https://t.co/yWfsySojIu
