On an online forum, netizens reacted to Kazuha's acoustic cover of the song, which she posted alongside a sweet and funny story from her early Korean-learning days. Back then, Kazuha became known among fans for misspelling the Korean word for "walk" or "stroll"—sanchaek—as sangchaek, an adorable mistake that brought plenty of laughter from fans and netizens.
Through a fan communication platform on Weverse, Kazuha wrote:
"Hehehe. Remember how I couldn't spell sanchaek during my debut era since I wasn't good at writing in Korean? So I decided to present you all Fearnots with Kazuha's version of Sangchaek as a fun cover <3 I sang it while thinking of Fearnots. Please accept my heart haha. Please listen well <3"
Netizens expressed pleasant surprise, commenting that many "didn't know how sweet Kazuha's voice was" and that her vocal color suits a song like Baek Ye Rin's beautifully.
Meanwhile, others mentioned that they had been "aware" of her singing voice since her debut and had "always wished she would sing more ballads."
"I saw the comments and turned it on with some expectations, but it’s even better than I expected…"
"It’s surprising because she doesn’t have that typical nasal sound. She sings clearly and comfortably."
"I’m a fan of another member, but even in today’s recording behind-the-scenes, Kazuha was so good. She really seems to be growing a lot."
"Her pronunciation has improved so much."
"Her vocal technique is really solid??? Her lower register is so strong… You don’t get this kind of sound unless you can actually sing. She seriously worked hard. So cool."
"Kazuha seems to be a member with a strong desire to improve, and you can really tell she’s grown a lot vocally."
"Why is the story so cute though ㅋㅋㅋ"
"Aside from a few minor spots, it honestly sounds like a Korean person sang it."
"I clicked expecting that typical Japanese intonation and unclear pronunciation since she’s a foreigner, but… from the very first line she sings each syllable so clearly and sincerely! She sings songs that suit her voice so well."
"Her mid-to-low register is so charming."
"I knew Kazuha had a short training period before debut, so I figured her vocals would improve with practice, but I didn’t expect her to get this good. She found a song that fits her voice, and her tone is so pure."
"Her tone is really nice. It’s so pleasant to listen to."
"Wow, her tone is really nice. This kind of music suits her so well. I hope she does more of it."
"This is so good. It feels so healing to listen to at night."
"I hope Kazuha keeps building her skills so we can see her sing jazz someday. I think it would fit her perfectly."
"The song is sad and pure. Her voice is lovely. Her pronunciation is really good."
"I liked Kazuha because she’s pretty, but now I can see her skills growing… and her tone was good to begin with."
"This sounds like a drama OST. Such an easy voice to listen to." "Wow, Kazuha’s voice is so good… it’s strangely moving."
"I’m tearing up while listening ㅠㅠㅠㅠ This is such a heartfelt gift for fans."
"I always thought her voice was great even in her rap parts, but her tone is insanely good."
"It feels like she sings each note and each syllable with such care."
"She would suit old-style ballads so well."
