The VT before the performance showed the influence and popularity of Snowman.
Before the group performed their track “CHARISMAX.”
Yet, the group was hit with brutal criticism from Korean netizens for the performance. While some didn’t enjoy the music and found the choreography goofy, others hit back at the visuals of the members and doubted their status as one of the top and most popular groups in Japan.

- “Are they really the most popular group in Japan???”
- “What is this?”
- “Seriously, by what standard are they considered top idols..? Are they a comedy group?”
- “Wait, is this really the Johnny’s [the previous name of the company STARTO Entertainment) I knew???”

- “Is there even demand for this? Their faces don’t look like idols at all.”
- “So you’re telling me… that’s the best they can do?”
- “Doesn’t this sound like 90s techno music?”
- “Their visuals, songs, dancing… there’s not a single thing that’s decent…”
