Some worried it gave off the wrong image, saying it looked like she was drinking too much or even “promoting” drinking. Others dismissed the criticism and found it amusing, joking that it reflected the reality of life as an idol under SM Entertainment. A portion of fans also defended Ningning, pointing out that the bottles could have been collected over time and not necessarily consumed in a short time.
