Yet, while fans shared excitement, there was significant backlash against the teaser over its use of AI.

In the comments, netizens hit back at the use of AI throughout and at how, despite JYP Entertainment having the money and resources to use artists to create something, they had to use AI for the teaser. Others also brought up how Nayeon and the company should be held accountable, as other idols had been for the use of AI in their work.

Div 3 please stop with the AI slop, all you had to do was go to a few locations and put the video of Nayeon reading on your phones and laptops and just film that…

You're more afraid of atracting hate to her instead of being scared of the potential use of generative AI in their music, videos, and content. You're all cowards, if this is your opinion on this matter, I can't even imagine what your opinions are on other serious issues
