KATSEYE's latest release, "Gnarly," has sparked a heated discussion online across the globe.
While international fans have expressed disappointment over the song's composition and lyrical content, Korean netizens are voicing strong praise, particularly for the group's presence in the music video.
The HYBE and Geffen Records global girl group dropped the highly anticipated music video for "Gnarly" on April 29, showcasing a bold concept and gripping performance. The track blends edgy beats with gritty attitude, but overseas listeners have been divided, with many claiming that the lyrics lack depth and appeal.
Surprisingly, however, South Korean netizens have a different sentiment toward KATSEYE's latest release. Many are praising KATSEYE for delivering a unique track that is not easily seen in K-pop. They commented:
"Wow, this is definitely not something you find in typical K-pop. Crazy hot."
"It's more about the vibe. I wouldn't say it's an amazing song, but the members are really charming."
"I think I get why they created KATSEYE. They have a different vibe from K-pop. lol."
"Since it's a pre-release, it seems like they picked it as a performance-focused track."
"It's amazing how Yoonchae fits in so well in the group. lol."
"I love it. But overseas fans apparently don't like the lyrics. But me? I'm Korean, so I'm okay with it. lol."
"KATSEYE’s vocal tone is such a strength though… I kind of want to hear a song that focuses on their tone, too. But they also suit this hip concept so well. Just give me everything."
"They're crazy hot girls. I love this track."
"They're performance is pretty powerful."
"I think their stage performance would be amazing to watch."
"I just listened to it, it's totally my style."
