Korean Netizens Have Mixed Opinions Over GOT the Beat's Comeback News
GOT the Beat is a project girl group comprising female artists representing SM Entertainment, including BoA, Girls' Generation's Taeyeon and Hyoyeon, Red Velvet's Seulgi and Wendy, and aespa's Karina and Winter.
The group gained explosive popularity from global fans as they are the first unit of the project 'Girls on Top,' where SM's female artists introduce new combinations of units by theme.
Meanwhile, the news of their return instantly became a hot topic among Korean netizens, who commented:
- I'm looking forward to this so much!!!
- Should've been an aespa a comeback instead
- Please improve the lyrics this time
- I thought it was a one-time thing? I really hated it
- It's an honor for a rookie to work with a great senior, and isn't it a win-win for senior singers to gain a fresh image by promoting with a rookie? Most of them seem to like it, so I'm looking forward to it.
- They said GOT the beat is only a unit group from the GIRLS ON TOP project. Why is GOT the beat having a comeback now?
- I hate how SM is using aespa to keep this unit project from flopping. Give aespa a comeback instead!
- Thank you for being a a mini album! I'm so tired of listening to 'Step Back' over and over again
- Please work hard on the lyrics this time
- A comeback? Didn't fans hate it stuff like this?
- In SM, the agency itself is a group, and there are fixed teams within it, and it feels like you can freely combine members according to planning and form a unit? It's less risky, the fans like it without any objection, and the public seems fresh, so I think it's an advantage that it's okay to do this and that.
- Karina, let's stay healthy
- Seniors, it would be nice to work with a popular rookie, but aespa really doesn't get anything...
- Shouldn't aespa be busy preparing for their Japanese debut? Why are they doing this?
- Don't listen to the haters. SM, please continue this. I really like it.
- The title is so strange
- An album? Really?
- Wow, I'm surprised with all the hate comments here. I'm a muggle, so I thought everyone would be really supportive. (Muggle refers to a non-fan)
- Their debut song was really cheesy. Please give them better songs this time.
- Hahaha this is gonna be awesome!
- Let's go, silly girls!
- They shouldn't be wasting aespa's time on things like this. The competition is tough enough among 4th generation groups.
- Wait, I'm so confused over their names
- How about a Red Velvet concert???
- The lyrics of their debut song still haunts me. Please improve this time.
- Has the fandom name been decided? Are we really called Silly Girls?
- I don't think this is the right time for a comeback....
- SM, take care of your current groups first!
- I don't know why they're wasting aespa's rookie image on this.
- Why waste time on a unit that is not even fresh ?
- Seulgi has 4 consecutive albums now
