While the song has been an instant hit with fans, some eagled-eye netizens, however, alleged the group had taken inspiration from a now-familiar source: Infinite Challenge.
Netizens in online communities shared several of the group’s choreography that, they allege, looked eerily similar to choreography from the legendary show.
This is hardly the first time the group has been alleged of paying tribute to Infinite Challenge. Previously, the group’s similar concept to the several episodes of the show has garnered laughs from netizens.
Netizens celebrated the group’s alleged homage. Many netizens celebrated the two very different-but-similar groups.
- “This is so hilarious, LOL. NewJeans are so cute while being in Infinite Challenge‘s world.
- “LOL. Do you guys only watch Infinite Challenge? You Infinite kids, LOL.”
- “The fact someone found this is more impressive, LOL.”
- “LOL, crazy!.”
- “Seriously, LOL.”
- “Ah, Noh Hong Chul, LOL. Why is he so funny?”
