Jihyun: "I didn't think that the scene (Hyuna's overhead shot) would be emphasized. Hyuna didn't either and she personally practices being sexy a lot so I think she exudes sexiness with music automatically. A small scene became an issue and a misunderstanding." Hyuna turned the members and smiled, "I'm sorry."

"If you look at our stage, there are actually no sexually suggestive parts, to the point where even we wish there were some. We wanted something that everyone could easily follow along to so we gave up being cool.

Hyuna added, "People asked us if it was possible for a girl group to do this but we went for quantity over quality with the props and our choreography team."

Jihyun, "It was our first time breaking down like that in a music video and I was actually proud that we could (let go of our cool girl group image) and thought that's what the media would focus on but it was actually another provocative issue that gained attention. I was actually happy about the comedic aspects of the music video."

1. [+353, -83] Let's just acknowledge it. Hyuna's sexy no matter what, even in just jeans and a white t-shirt. There's nothing she can do about it, she was born with it...

2. [+94, -17] Practicing being sexy ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+74, -24] Hyuna's expressions itself are so erotic, there's nothing you can do about it unless broadcasts ban Hyuna herself. Just leave her alone. There's nothing to put warnings on.

4. [+36, -27] Why is she practicing being sexy instead of singing

5. [+26, -18] Why are people always so hung up over Hyuna. I think she's cool. She's charismatic, sexy, works hard, and innocent off stage... I think that's charming. Other groups are worse when it comes to skin exposure but the public is the most cruel to Hyuna. I think Hyuna will continue to do good.

6. [+21, -14] They talk as if they had no idea that the cleavage shot was shown... Everyone's doing a sexy concept lately and they knew that it'd be hard to get attention if they didn't have a provocative scene so obviously they put Hyuna in a cleavage baring shirt and put in an overhead shot. Did they not see the scene when they were editing the music video? What are they sorry about when they knew it was in the music video?
