People stated Kim Chaewon, Sakura, and Huh Yunjin were the only members that looked close. This is most likely because all three competed on "Produce 48," with Kim Chaewon and Huh Yunjin even performing "Into the New World" together.

People claimed the girls appeared awkward with one another, with some joking that it was like the girls only became a group in December. Others stated they looked like business friends, while some noted the other girls must be nervous since Kim Chaewon, Sakura, and Huh Yunjin all have experience in the industry, especially the former two.
