DIVEs also expressed interest in the dance challenge video, as many declared their resolve to learn the catchy choreography and post it online in support of the girls.

Here's how DIVEs reacted to the video:

"OMG they just spoiled the chorus of 'HEYA'?"

"I can't wait to listen to the full song!"

"HEYA challenge is already out?"

"When is this coming to Spotify?"

"I am going to be obsessed with this song."

"Okay, let's learn this challenge and upload it! I can't wait to see the comeback, girls!"

"Woah, I already know I will be listening to this song non-stop."

"I see myself listening to this album for a whole month and on repeat on top of that."

"I cannot wait for the full release because it sounds so good even though it's just a clip."

However, some netizens were not satisfied with the choreography. In a forum, netters clarified that while the song was indeed good, the choreography was "lacking" and "boring."

Read their comments below:

"The concept is really crazy, but I find the choreography a bit disappointing."

"Who's the choreographer for this comeback?"

"The choreo for this dance challenge can't be improved? It's just plain simple, but the song is good though!"

"Okay, first of all, the vocals in the song are so good. I don't know about the choreography."

"The song is fine, but the choreography? Not so much."

"It's such a shame because why would the choreo be like this?"

"The song is good, but the choreography is a little boring."

"Please change it, choreographer. What is this?"
