K-netizens are split after listening to and watching a short preview of ALLDAY PROJECT's "ONE MORE TIME."
On an online forum, netizens reacted to and discussed the brief performance of "ONE MORE TIME" showcased on 'Knowing Bros' by the co-ed group ALLDAY PROJECT ahead of their upcoming first comeback. The song and its promotions are anticipated with high expectations, as their debut single "Famous" received major attention and success, especially among domestic listeners.
Based on ongoing discussions and reactions on X, the new song "ONE MORE TIME" is getting mixed responses.
While some are praising the track for its "unexpectedly bright energy" and fast-paced beat that creates a "catchy" sound, others are voicing concerns over the sudden genre shift from their debut track, critiquing the song for its "lack of the trendy, bass-heavy hip-hop vibe unique to co-ed groups," which many fans felt was ALLDAY PROJECT's biggest strength.
Meanwhile, many are also pointing out that this song is "definitively not their EP's title track," suggesting that as a pre-release digital single, its sound may not represent the overall direction of their main comeback album.
For the most part, K-netizens are asking for a "much heavier song with iron-like beats" and encouraging the group to continue "setting themselves apart from groups like MEOVV." Still, many others are expressing their fondness for "ONE MORE TIME" so far, noting its addictiveness and sharp choreography shown in the preview performance.
"Is there a song with that metal-like sound too? If so, then it's okay."
"It feels like something izna or MEOVV should be doing lol but still, if they perform this song, the female members might gain popularity.. The song itself seems like it’ll do well."
"The song is really good? It grabbed me the moment I heard it."
"It's my first time seeing this stage, and the arrangement of heights in the group shots is better than I expected."
"It's different from what I expected, but I like it."
"Huh? I liked the heavy beat and darker vibe at first, but then it suddenly gets lighter and more ordinary."
"The song is great, but if someone said it's by ALLDAY PROJECT, I'd be like huh?"
"It's not hardcore hip-hop...!?"
"Teddy didn’t participate in this one at all lol Even though he's the main producer."
"ㅠㅠㅠㅠ I thought they’d bring something cool like 'Famous'."
"I like it!! The choreography looks more intense too lol"
"It feels like a 2NE1 vibe."
"It sounds like a 2NE1 B-side."
"It really sounds like a 2NE1 song."
"The song itself is good, but it doesn’t really match the members? Well, maybe the full version will feel different."
"What is this, nothing sticks to my ear."
"The song is good but… hmm... I wish it were a bit more edgy..."
"I'm surprised it’s not as good as I expected."
"It kind of sounds like a year-end festival song lol"
"I liked 'Famous' more ㅠㅠ"
"I don't like it… what is this."
"Huh? ..Their debut song was better."
"This is fun."
"No.. I like the previous one more."
"The song is good, but from this preview alone, it doesn’t feel like something only a co-ed group could pull off?? Sounds like a regular girl group song. Maybe the full version will be different."
"It kinda sounds like a co-ed version of NewJeans' 'Super Shy' lol"
"Whoa, it's totally different from what I expected, but it's good."
"Oh this is nice."
"I like it too, but they'll need to perform well on stage.. The song is good ㅜㅜ fighting."
"It seriously sounds like a MEOVV-type song.."
"It feels like it would sound great in earphones."
"Their previous 'Famous' was so good."
"The song kind of feels like an old-school co-ed group track lol I like it."
"The song is good, but I expected a similar vibe to the previous track, so this is unexpected."
"They probably released something refreshing now and will go back to something intense again later lol Maybe they didn’t want things to overlap too much."
"I wanted a hardcore, metal-ish sounding track, but this feels mild… Is this right? Well, I’ll listen to it when it fully drops ㅜㅜㅜ"
"This isn’t the title, right? It sounds like a pre-release or B-side."
"I think this one will do well on charts too."
"It gets better after listening two or three times. I feel like it’ll do well again. The choreography is good, but it doesn’t feel like anyone can fully nail it."
"If you liked 'Famous' and 'Wicked', you might be disappointed."
"I really like it though."
"Huh???? It's so different from what I imagined."
"Since it's a pre-release, I'll just accept that…It’s really not the style everyone was expecting. The strengths of a co-ed hip-hop group aren’t showing."
"Huh.. I thought the song was so good, but the reactions are bad."
"They caught attention for being an edgy co-ed group, so why change??????? This song just sounds like a girl group track... The choreo also doesn't seem to look good for Woochan or Tarzzan"
"It's new so I like it, but it weirdly feels a bit outdated."
"It was so underwhelming that I checked and saw it's just a pre-release single, thank goodness."
"The song is good, but it really suits MEOVV or izna more."
"They suddenly turned bright."
"It sounds like a Jewelry song lol I want to hear the full version ㅠ"
"Yeah, suddenly it’s refreshing."
"I listened to 'Wicked' again today, please give me that vibe."
"Hm......."
"I like it."
"What happened, why did the song quality suddenly… become so plain?"
"It feels exactly like when YG loses its touch sometimes."
"It would’ve been better if the song were stronger, kind of a shame ㅠ"
"It sounds like a BLACKPINK song."
"It sounds like something from around 2012."
"Ah, I wanted a CORTIS-like vibe."
"Am I the only one who likes it…? lolololol"
"Mm it's not the vibe I was hoping for."
"I guess it's like this because it’s a pre-release..? I hope the title track is hip."
